House Republicans allege Hunter Biden lied multiple times during a congressional deposition, while the Obama administration is accused of blocking the FBI from arresting suspected Iranian agents.
House Republicans have unveiled documents they claim prove Hunter Biden lied under oath during his congressional deposition earlier this year. The House Ways & Means Committee obtained the documents under IRS code 6103, which protects certain tax information from disclosure.
Committee Chairman Jason Smith alleges that the documents reveal at least three instances of falsehoods by Hunter Biden. "Lying during sworn testimony is a felony offense that the Department of Justice has prosecuted numerous individuals for in recent years," Smith said. "The American people expect the same accountability for the son of the President of the United States."
Hunter Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, denies any wrongdoing. Hunter Biden faces trial on June 3 in Delaware for firearm-related charges and in September in California for tax-related charges.
Emails obtained by the House Judiciary Committee reveal that the Obama administration blocked the FBI from arresting suspects accused of helping Iran's nuclear program. The administration feared that the arrests would jeopardize the Iran nuclear deal negotiations.
The emails show that the FBI had evidence linking the suspects to a network that provided Iran with sensitive technology and equipment. However, the Obama administration overruled the FBI's recommendation to arrest the suspects, citing concerns that it would damage the diplomatic process.
The revelations have raised questions about the Obama administration's priorities and whether it put diplomacy above national security.
