Hunter Biden ‘broke the law,’ Democrat Rep. Jim Himes says

The Democratic wall of silence surrounding Hunter Biden is beginning to crumble — with a prominent congressman admitting that President Biden’s troubled son is a crook who should be “held accountable.”
“Let me say something that you never heard a Republican member of Congress say in the four years of the Trump administration, which is that if Hunter Biden broke the law, he should be prosecuted,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-Connecticut) said on MSNBC in a Friday interview.
“And it is clear that he broke the law with respect to taxes and possibly the ownership of a handgun. He should be held accountable for that.”
Himes rapped Republicans for not calling out former President Trump, 77, when he was indicted, but said Hunter Biden should be prosecuted and convicted if he used his father’s influence to commit crimes.
“If he traded on his father’s influence, he should be held accountable for that. And I’m emphasizing this because you never, ever heard a Republican say the same thing about Donald Trump or his family,” Himes said.
Still, the Democratic congressman — serving his eighth term — insisted there was no evidence that President Biden, 80, colluded with his son on any crimes.
“Now, to the question about impeachment, there is today zero evidence, zero evidence that Joe Biden, the president of the United States, knew about what his son was doing. If, if he did know about it, if he participated in that, then that is a very different conversation,” Himes said.
