Kentucky Republican Rep. James Comer said Americans could understand that the Justice Department was trying to “divert attention” from Hunter Biden by indicting former President Donald Trump.
A federal grand jury has indicted Trump on four counts related to allegedly trying to overthrow the 2020 presidential election.hello Paid The indictment includes conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct official process, obstruct and attempt to obstruct official process, and conspiracy against rights, according to the indictment.
Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) timing was deliberately trying to bury Hunter’s legal troubles, hurting Trump’s chances of being re-elected in 2024. said he was trying.
“Whether this is the weaponization of the Justice Department to divert attention from Biden’s corruption, or to eliminate a major political opponent in the next election, the American people know what’s going on. I think,” said Kummer on Tuesday’s “The Ingraham Angle.” “The American people see this through, and it’s a sad day for the rule of law and a sad day for the American justice system.”
Fox News’ Laura Ingraham added that there is no evidence in the indictment that President Trump intended to reverse the election or cause a Capitol riot. Mr. Comer said he had more evidence of alleged crimes against President Joe Biden than Mr. Trump.

The oversight board has played a key role in investigating whether Mr. Biden had knowledge of or involvement in his son’s foreign business deals with Ukrainian, Romanian and Chinese energy officials. A Justice Department and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblower and Hunter’s former business associate Devon Archer provided testimony and evidence regarding Biden’s alleged involvement.
“From now on, I think the polls will go up every time Donald Trump is indicted. and that is to get rid of Donald Trump,” said the oversight committee chairman.
Kammer added that Americans no longer have faith in US agencies that they claim are targeting Trump and protecting Biden and his son. He said Trump is “getting in the way” of the “self-preservation” that the Biden administration is trying to achieve even if it loses the trust of the American people.
A Justice Department whistleblower handed Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley an FD-1023 form showing evidence that Mykola Zlochevsky, the founder of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, had committed wrongdoing. . offered Joe Biden and Hunter Biden received a $5 million bribe to fire the prosecutor investigating the company. Mr. Hunter served on Burisma’s board of directors from 2014 until he was in 2019.
Mr. Archer, a former business associate of Mr. Hunter, told the Oversight Board on Monday that Mr. Hunter and Mr. Biden spoke by phone 20 times in the presence of foreign business executives.
Since the IRS whistleblower’s testimony, House Republicans have floated the idea of an impeachment inquiry against Biden.
