Keystone State Rep. Scott Perry wants to make sure the DOJ is slow-walking Hunter Biden’s investigation, going easy on the embattled First Son, and compromising a proper probe.
Perry wrote a letter to Rep. James Comer and the House Oversight Committee to look into the DOJ —and Comer wasn’t the only one he reached out to.
From Just The News:
The letter asked the top Republicans and Democrats on House Ways and Means, Senate Finance, House Judiciary, House Oversight, Senate Homeland Security, Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, and Senate Judiciary to demand answers of federal prosecutors, especially now that an IRS whistleblower has come forward with allegations of political interference in the probe.
Perry, R-Pa., is a key voice in the conservative House Freedom Caucus and played a high-profile role in the deal that made Kevin McCarthy House Speaker earlier this year.
He noted that recent news media reports on purported criminal charges being considered against Hunter Biden – who has denied any wrongdoing but acknowledged he was under FBI investigation – seem to involve smaller, more recent transactions and not those referencing the undeclared Burisma income from the 2017 email.
“That reporting has some lawmakers and tax experts concerned that the DOJ knowingly and purposefully allowed the statute of limitations to expire, or that DOJ/IRS constructed an agreement extending the legal deadline – commonly known as “tolling agreements” – specifically to avoid indictment and/or prosecution,” Perry wrote his colleagues in both chambers.
“I respectfully request your respective Committees to inquire with the individuals involved at the DOJ and the IRS on this specific matter to determine if the statute of limitations were allowed to expire or, if a particular tolling agreement in this matter were constructed, who was involved and what the justification were for such actions,” he added.
