During an interview with Fox News, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer stated that the impeachment inquiry led by the GOP into President Joe Biden is expected to result in “multiple” criminal referrals.
However, it remains uncertain whether the Justice Department will take action on these referrals.
Comer, a Kentucky Republican, also disclosed his intention to conduct a public hearing this week.
It is worth noting that Hunter Biden, the president’s first son, has declined to participate in the hearing after providing private testimony. Previously, Biden’s attorney had indicated that his client would be willing to partake in a public hearing.
“If he does not show up, then it’s not going to end well for the Bidens, because we have three witnesses that … have already testified under oath to significantly different stories as to what exactly the Biden influence peddling schemes were,” he told “Sunday Morning Futures” anchor Maria Bartiromo.
“This is very serious because we’re at the point now of criminal referrals,” Comer added.
Comer responded to Bartiromo’s inquiry regarding the number of referrals that would be made by stating simply “multiple.” He chose not to disclose an exact figure.
