Message from Congressman Scott Fitzgerald

Good morning!

In this week’s eNewsletter edition I wanted to share a report that was jointly released by the Judiciary Committee, Oversight Committee, and Ways and Means Committee in the House of Representatives.

The nearly 300-page report is the culmination of months of investigative work conducted by these committees, and it outlines with indisputable evidence the many instances of impeachable offenses committed by Joe Biden.  

I’ve long said that I believe there is enough evidence for the House to refer this impeachment to the Senate for a trial. From the Burisma bribery scheme to the laundered money, and shell companies—coupled with the pattern of lying—the evidence has been clear and overwhelming. Today’s report solidified these findings in one cohesive report.

Click here to read the key findings from the report as outlined by the Judiciary Committee:

• From 2014 to the present, as part of a conspiracy to monetize Joe Biden’s office of public trust to enrich the Biden family, Biden family members and their associates received over $27 million from foreign individuals or entities. In order to obscure the source of these funds, the Biden family and their associates set up shell companies to conceal these payments from scrutiny. The Biden family used proceeds from these business activities to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars to Joe Biden—including thousands of dollars that are directly traceable to China.

• Joe Biden used his status as Vice President to garner favorable outcomes for his son’s and his business partners’ foreign business dealings. Witnesses acknowledged that Hunter Biden involved Vice President Biden in many of his business dealings with Russian, Romanian, Chinese, Kazakhstani, and Ukrainian individuals and companies.

• The Biden family leveraged Joe Biden’s positions of public trust to obtain over $8 million in loans from Democratic benefactors. Millions of dollars in loans have not been repaid and the paperwork supporting many of the loans does not exist and has not been produced to the Committees. This raises serious questions about whether these funds were provided as gifts disguised as loans.

• Under the Biden Administration, the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) afforded special treatment to President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. Several witnesses acknowledged the delicate approach used during the Hunter Biden case, describing the investigation as “sensitive” or “significant.” Evidence shows that Department officials slow-walked the investigation, informed defense counsel of future investigative actions, prevented line investigators from taking otherwise ordinary investigative steps, and allowed the statute of limitations to expire on the most serious felony charges.

• The White House has obstructed the Committees’ impeachment inquiry by withholding key documents and witnesses. The White House has impeded the Committees’ investigation of President Biden’s unlawful retention of classified documents, by refusing to make relevant witnesses available for interviews and by erroneously asserting executive privilege over audio recordings from Special Counsel Hur’s interviews with President Biden. In addition, the White House is preventing the National Archives from turning over documents that are material to the Committees’ inquiry.

I encourage everyone to read this report. It delivers transparency that Americans deserve.

Thanks for reading this week’s eNewsletter.

 Have a great week!

Scott
