House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer says that First Son Hunter Biden could be facing up to 10 criminal referrals once the federal investigation into President Joe Biden’s family finishes.
Among the criminal referrals Hunter could face is violating the federal Mann Act, which makes it illegal to transport women across state lines for the purpose of prostitution.

“The Democrats kept saying, ‘Oh, we don’t have any evidence. You don’t have any evidence.’ Well, [Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene] showed them evidence,” Comer said, referring to Greene’s actions during an Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday involving IRS whistleblowers who said they were blocked from pursuing their investigation about the younger Biden.
“She showed them evidence of the president’s son committing a crime, violating the Mann Act,” the Kentucky Republican added. “She showed the plane tickets, she showed the pictures, she showed the evidence. You know, there’s no question he violated it. That’s another thing that he could have been charged with.”
Comer also cited other referrals, such as violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
“He was money laundering,” he said. “He was racketeering. He committed wire fraud. He violated the Mann Act. The list goes on and on and on.”
Comer went on to say that the president was implicated in a $10 million bribery plan based on “pretty overwhelming” evidence, according to an FBI informant whose statement was made public on Thursday by Republican Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley.
“The evidence here is pretty overwhelming that Joe Biden did something for the CEO of Burisma,” Comer said, referring to the Ukrainian fuel agency that had employed Hunter on its board. “What the form also says is that investigators would have a hard time – it would take them 10 years to determine how they got the money because of the way they transferred the money through so many different bank accounts.”
Additionally, the congressman claimed that the Biden family used more than 20 shell companies to hide payments.
“We found all these shell companies that make absolutely no sense,” he said. “I don’t believe they have paid a penny of revenue, a penny of taxes on most of the millions of dollars they received from our adversaries around the world.”
