Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) are demanding that the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigates President Joe Biden’s family ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
The calls come as details continue to emerge of Hunter Biden’s foreign entanglements.
The two top senators sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss, demanding answers.
The Republicans asked Garland and Wray if “the FBI investigating Hunter Biden for criminal violations relating to his reported use of escorts linked to human trafficking rings.”
Obviously, that is a huge national security threat.
They also want to know if “the FBI defensively briefed Hunter Biden for counterintelligence concerns raised by his close financial associations with individuals linked to the communist Chinese government and other foreign governments and his reported association with foreign escorts.”
The letter continues:
What is the Justice Department trying to hide from Congress and the American people?
Congress has a constitutional responsibility to ensure the proper execution of, and compliance with, conflicts of interest laws and regulations.
DOJ’s failure to comply with these laws and regulations will undermine the integrity of any investigation and cast a public cloud –whether warranted or not – over the matter.
Your continued failure to answer fundamental questions with respect to the Hunter Biden criminal case not only calls into question DOJ’s and FBI’s handling of the matter, it calls into question whether DOJ and FBI will take the necessary steps to pursue other relevant investigative threads.
Accordingly, please answer the following no later than July 21, 2022:
Is the FBI investigating Hunter Biden for criminal violations relating to his reported use of escorts linked to human trafficking rings?
Has the FBI defensively briefed Hunter Biden for counterintelligence concerns raised by his close financial associations with individuals linked to the communist Chinese government and other foreign governments and his reported association with foreign escorts?
