Three leading House Republicans have called on the Justice Department to prosecute the son and brother of Joe Biden, accusing the two of lying to Congress.

House Republicans on Wednesday sent criminal referrals to the Justice Department for Hunter and Jim Biden — a high-profile step that spins out of their largely stalled Joe Biden impeachment effort. Oversight Chair James Comer , Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan and Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and special counsel David Weiss alleging that the president’s son and brother made false statements to Congress and recommending the DOJ bring charges.

But House Republicans have increasingly touted those types of efforts as a landing spot for their months-long inquiry, which has largely focused on the business deals of Joe Biden’s family members. Though Republicans unanimously formalized the inquiry late last year, actually impeaching Joe Biden has long seemed out of reach because even some House Republicans say they haven’t found clear evidence that the president committed a crime or an impeachable offense.
