House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan described Hunter Biden’s indictment on gun charges as a Justice Department smokescreen to avoid scrutiny of President Biden’s involvement in his son’s alleged influence peddling.
“At some point, they were like, ‘Well, we’ve got to do something and let’s do this. Let’s indict him on gun charges, which have nothing to do with President Biden,'” Jordan told the Washington Examiner Saturday.

“It’s a matter that has nothing to do with the whole business operation and the link, which seems pretty obvious to most people, to the president,” Jordan added.
Hunter Biden was indicted Thursday in Delaware by special counsel David Weiss on three counts related to lying about his drug use on a gun purchase form in 2018 — two months after his trial-only plea deal was rejected by a federal judge.
On Tuesday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched an impeachment inquiry into the president’s conduct after the House Oversight Committee found evidence that more than $20 million flowed to Biden family businesses from China, Kazakhstan, Romania, Russia and Ukraine — much of it while Biden was Vice President.

“These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption,” McCarthy said. “The American people deserve to know that public office is not for sale and that the federal government is not being used to cover up the actions of politically connected families.”
Biden has repeatedly claimed he never spoke to his son Hunter or his brother James Biden about their foreign business deals.
