Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said in an interview Thursday that the investigation into Hunter Biden's criminal conduct will continue. politiko.
“I think we need to look to special counsel David Weiss,” Jordan told the outlet.
“I think there's some additional work that we have to do because when we fired him, he didn't want to. The fact is, he didn't answer any questions. I didn't answer either. [an] An investigation is underway,” he added.
He criticized President Biden for pardoning his son Hunter for all crimes committed in the past 10 years before leaving the White House.
“I didn't agree with that, and I don't think many Americans did,” Jordan said.
However, he added, “The president can pardon anyone he wants to forgive.''
Jordan's committee launched a wide-ranging investigation into Hunter Biden and his uncle, James Biden, for allegedly engaging in unethical business dealings, leading to congressional testimony last year.
House Republicans later recommended that the two be charged with perjury, claiming they lied on stage.
But former FBI intelligence officer Alexander Smirnov's false testimony about Biden's dealings has cast doubt on the family's claims of collective wrongdoing, which some say was instigated by political opponents.
Jordan's comments about further investigations into Hunter come under President-elect Trump, who has long criticized Democrats for promoting baseless legal battles.
