Rand Paul sending Hunter Biden report to the DOJ for criminal referral!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - September 24, 2020 - On Wednesday, September 23, Senator Rand Paul (Kent.) revealed that he will be sending the Senate Homeland Security and Finance Committees’ preliminary report on Hunter Biden’s business dealings to the Department of InJustice, and will ask for a criminal referral.
Paul said, “I think riding on Air Force Two and doing business is illegal. I think that is against the law, and probably a felony. I think it’s illegal to take money from a Russian politician’s wife, $3.5 million. Was it reported accurately?”
Paul was referring to the new report that looked into the details of Hunter Biden’s role on the board of the Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings.
The Senate committee revealed they had obtained records that “show potential criminal activity relating to transactions among and between Hunter Biden, his family, and his associates with Ukrainian, Russian, Kazakh and Chinese nationals.”
Paul continued, “I think the only way to determine the actual legality of this is to have it referred to the Department of (In)Justice. So I’m going to send over the report. I don’t know if the whole committee will vote for it, but I’m sending the report tomorrow to the Department of *In)Justice, and we’re asking for a criminal referral.”
Investigators also found millions of dollars in questionable financial transactions between Hunter Biden and his associates and foreign individuals, including the wife of the former mayor of Moscow, as well as individuals with ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
Senator Paul then went on to say that he wants to see “a criminal investigation that’s justified.”
He said, “Here is this evidence, look at it, and then you ask the lawyers for the government to decide if you have enough to prosecute,” he said, “but I think we should refer this for a criminal investigation.”
