House Republicans allege that Hunter Biden lied under oath multiple times during a congressional deposition earlier this year, based on obtained information. The House Ways & Means Committee released documents showing three instances of alleged false testimony. Hunter Biden faces three upcoming trials: federal gun charges, lying charges, and tax charges. IRS whistleblowers have accused the Justice Department of allowing the statute of limitations to expire on some tax charges.
Two Republican senators are opening a second congressional investigation into embattled Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis for alleged misuse of federal funds.
Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) sent a letter to Willis Wednesday, alleging funds from the Justice Department meant for at-risk youth and gang prevention went to purchase computers and “swag.”
The letter also alleges that in 2020, the Fulton County District Attorney’s office received nearly $500,000 to establish a center for youth empowerment and gang prevention, which has reportedly yet to open.
This is the second probe into Willis’ office by the U.S. Congress. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) subpoenaed Willis in February over the accusations of misusing federal funds. She is also under investigation by committees in the Georgia legislature.
A petition circulating within the Secret Service has raised concerns about recent incidents linked to “inadequate training” and other issues, but the agency has downplayed the report. The petition, which has at least 39 signatures, calls for a congressional investigation into the Secret Service, flagging concerns about double standards in disciplinary actions and a vulnerability to potential insider threats. However, Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi has stated that anonymous petitioner does not embody the agency’s values and that their staff is comprised of talented professionals who are dedicated to protecting the presidency and the U.S. financial system.
