Another Trial?
House Republicans have obtained information they say proves “indisputably” that Hunter Biden lied under oath multiple times during his congressional deposition earlier this year.
The House Ways & Means Committee on Wednesday held a mark-up session to discuss documents protected under IRS code 6103 — a portion of the tax code that keeps certain information confidential. Discussing that material without it being properly released by the House Ways & Means Committee is considered a felony.
House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith said the documents the committee obtained reveal that Hunter Biden lied at least three times during his deposition.
Smith noted that “lying during sworn testimony is a felony offense that the Department of Justice has prosecuted numerous individuals for in recent years, and the American people expect the same accountability for the son of the President of the United States.”
Hunter Biden’s attorney Abbe Lowell denied that any of the three instances were actually falsehoods.
Hunter Biden faces trial on June 3 in Delaware on firearm-related charges. His trial in California on tax-related charges has been postponed to September.
