During a Friday interview, Congressman Jim Himes, a Democrat from Connecticut, made it evident that Hunter Biden’s law-breaking actions are apparent. Before acknowledging the legal issues faced by the first son, Himes also criticized Republicans.
“Let me say something that you never heard a Republican member of Congress say in the four years of the Trump administration, which is that if Hunter Biden broke the law, he should be prosecuted,” Himes said on MSNBC. “And it is clear that he broke the law with respect to taxes and possibly the ownership of a handgun. He should be held accountable for that.”
While criticizing Republicans for their lack of response to former President Donald Trump’s indictment, Congressman Himes also acknowledged the importance of holding Hunter Biden accountable if he utilized his father’s influence to engage in unlawful activities.
“If he traded on his father’s influence, he should be held accountable for that. And I’m emphasizing this because you never, ever heard a Republican say the same thing about Donald Trump or his family,” Himes argued.
The Democratic congressman contended that there was no evidence of President Biden colluding with his son on any crimes. However, he emphasized the significance of taking any emerging evidence seriously should it come to light.
“Now, to the question about impeachment, there is today zero evidence, zero evidence that Joe Biden, the president of the United States, knew about what his son was doing. If, if he did know about it, if he participated in that, then that is a very different conversation,” Himes added.
