Senators release records on potential Hunter Biden prostitution crimes kept from them by Biden DOJ
The senators say that the records – which include text messages between Hunter Biden and the women – show that the government had significant evidence of potential Mann Act violations.
Two Senate committees have obtained records from the Justice Department that show the government possessed evidence of potential prostitution-related crimes related to former first son Hunter Biden.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson had requested the records from the Justice Department in 2022, pursuant to their investigation into alleged corrupt acts and conflicts of interest by members of the Biden family. Those requests were not answered at the time.
The Republican senators say the records – which include text messages between Hunter Biden and the women – show that the government had significant evidence of potential Mann Act violations allegedly committed by Hunter Biden from as early as October 2020.
For example, the messages show that Biden, whose father is former President Joe Biden, appeared to have purchased a flight from Los Angeles to an unknown destination for an unidentified woman in 2018.
In their September 2020 report on Hunter Biden’s business interests in Ukraine while his father was vice president, the senators pointed to evidence that the younger Biden had paid women who were citizens of Ukraine and Russia. Some of those transactions were allegedly linked to what “appears to be an Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring.”
The findings raised concerns about potential Mann Act violations. The Mann Act prohibits the transfer of individuals across state lines for prostitution “or for any other immoral purpose.”
The IRS investigators who were probing Hunter Biden’s tax violations also said that they found evidence of potential Mann Act violations, Just the News previously reported. One of the investigators, who later blew the whistle to Congress about alleged favoritism shown to Biden by his father’s Justice Department, testified that Hunter Biden frequently deducted expenses for prostitutes and appeared to pay for their travel across state lines.
Grassley, of Iowa said that the Justice Department’s failure to turn over the records earlier is further evidence of the favoritism shown to the then-president’s son.
“[The] DOJ and FBI possessed evidence of potential crimes, yet it’s unclear what steps they … took to fully investigate this shocking evidence,” he said in a statement shared with Just the News.
“We do know President Biden followed it up by issuing an unprecedented pardon to get his son off the hook for serious crimes. This is an affront to blind justice, and it’s especially sickening considering Hunter Biden’s actions appear to have put vulnerable women at risk,” he also said
