House Republicans are preparing contempt of Congress charges against Hunter Biden after he refused to appear for a closed-door deposition regarding the Biden family's supposed influence-peddling scheme. Democrats have continually pushed the narrative that no evidence of the scheme exists. Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) mockingly said she "felt bad" for Democrats denying the evidence, saying they are fully aware of the evidence's existence and worried it will cost them the White House in 2024 in a recent Fox Report appearance.
In addition to saying, "There is absolutely evidence for impeachment," Rep. Luna highlighted the fact that the banks through whom the money House Republicans have been tracking are not only cooperating but have pointed out "there was no proof of loan paperwork," referring to the $40,000 check written out by James Biden to his brother Joe as a "loan repayment."
Furthermore, the same bank investigator raised concerns the money was obtained from foreign sources, further suggesting the likelihood of it coming through selling influence.
"There has been foreign influence peddling," said Rep. Luna, "And remember, the FBI had a redacted document where there was an executive in Ukraine that was essentially bragging about the fact that he was working with Hunter Biden and that Joe Biden was providing protection," she continued, referencing the 1023 form released by Congress over the summer, wherein a confidential human source alleged a Burisma executive held 17 audio recordings implicating the Bidens.
On top of that, IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler testified before Congress that their superiors intentionally stonewalled their investigation into Hunter Biden.
"So when you hear these elected Representatives that are Democrats, that are saying there is no evidence, I feel bad for them because frankly, they know it is there, and they know that it is going to hurt Joe Biden, especially with his reelection," Luna concluded.
Earlier in December, colleague Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL) also blasted House Democrats for dismissing evidence against the Bidens right after discovering direct payments to Joe from Hunter through his Owasco PC firm. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre abruptly ended a conference when questioned about this new revelation, which Rep. Donalds said only implicated how "Joe Biden lied to the American people when he said he had no idea what his son was doing" and "lied when he said that he and his family never took money from foreign sources."
