Florida Republican Rep. Byron Donald on Monday blasted Democrats in Congress, saying there was more evidence against President Joe Biden than Democrats had against former President Donald Trump.

Devon Archer, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, told House Oversight Committee investigators Monday before turning himself in to serve time. Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Archer told investigators that then-Vice President Joe Biden had spoken to his son, Hunter, “more than 20 times about business deals.” (Related: ‘Two Standards of Justice’: DeSantis says Hunter Biden ‘would be in jail by now’ if he was a Republican)

“That plea bargain was designed to cover up the corruption surrounding Joe Biden and his family, especially the fact that FARA violations were covered up in this firearms allegation and the fact that Devon Archer came forward to speak out. If you look at what he did, he backs up the fact that not only was Hunter Biden operating as an unregistered foreign spy, but his father was a foreign spy,” Donald said. told Fox News host Laura Ingraham.

Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to all charges after federal district judge Marielen Noreika rejected both the original plea bargain and a more limited amendment Wednesday, and the plea deal collapsed. Republicans in Congress, Republican candidates for the 2024 presidential election, and legal experts have all criticized the plea deal announced on June 20, with some calling it a “soft deal.”

At Wednesday’s hearing, Hunter Biden answered a question about a $1 million deal with a Chinese company and mistook the name of the company that received the payment.

“When a wife or son says, ‘Dad, come over for dinner,’ the first question is, who is there for dinner,” Donald added.

Mr. Donald then accused Democrats of being unwilling to address the allegations.

“When it was Donald Trump, they acted quickly with just a phone call, no other backing, just a phone call. Frankly, that is true about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden It turned out to be about the same claim,” said Donald. “They don’t care about the trail on paper. They care that Joe Biden was at the mercy of the Democrats on federal policy, and they want to protect it.”

“About six months of research has yielded more information about Donald Trump than they could have hoped for,” he added.
