Commentary:
The lack of action from the DOJ on Hunter Biden’s business dealings is concerning to Republicans and to many voters. The fact that the DOJ has appointed special counsels to investigate former President Donald Trump and President Biden himself, but has not appointed one to investigate Hunter Biden, raises questions about a potential conflict of interest.
The new poll showing that 73% of registered voters believe that Hunter Biden did something illegal or unethical in his business dealings in Ukraine and China only adds to the concern. It’s clear that something fishy is going on, and Republicans are right to demand answers.
If the DOJ does not act, Republicans should launch their own investigation into Hunter Biden’s business dealings. The American people deserve to know the truth about the Biden family’s business dealings, and they deserve to have their elected officials hold them accountable for their actions.
It’s time for the DOJ to do its job and appoint a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden’s business dealings. If they don’t, Republicans will step up and do what needs to be done to get to the bottom of this issue. The American people deserve transparency and accountability from their government, and Republicans are committed to delivering that.
