WASHINGTON — A group of Senate Republicans demanded Tuesday that Attorney General Merrick Garland appoint a special counsel to investigate President Biden’s role in his family’s international business dealings — amid allegations that Biden took a $5 million bribe while vice president.
Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), JD Vance (R-Ohio) and Mike Braun (R-Ind.) signed the letter a day after Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) revealed that the Ukrainian businessman who allegedly paid $5 million apiece to Joe and Hunter Biden in 2015 and 2016 claimed to keep 17 audio recordings of the president and first son as “insurance.”
“The outstanding allegations of potential corruption and wrongdoing on the part of multiple members of the Biden family are deeply concerning, to say the least,” the four senators wrote to Garland, specifically mentioning the alleged bribes on behalf of Burisma Holdings owner Mykola Zlochevsky, as well as the first family’s Chinese business dealings.
“Given these concerning allegations that continue to come to light with each passing day, we urge you to appoint a special counsel to investigate any wrongdoing by President Biden and his family in their business dealings,” the senators wrote.
