Dershowitz Says New Hunter Biden Allegations Possibly an ‘Impeachable Offense’

Retired Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz said that a recent allegation from a whistleblower about President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, should be investigated by Republicans and could be an “impeachable offense.”

During an interview with Fox News on Thursday night, Dershowitz said that because Republicans control Congress, they can investigate the younger Biden.

Earlier this week, the Department of Justice and Biden’s lawyers announced that they came to a plea deal in which he would plead guilty to several misdemeanor offenses—not related to longstanding Republican-backed investigations into his overseas business deals while his father was the vice president and after. The U.S. attorney involved in the case, David Weiss, said that an investigation into Biden is currently ongoing.

If it is proven that Hunter Biden allegedly demanded a payment from a Chinese businessman while his father was in the room, it’s “probable cause” of an “impeachable offense” of bribery under the Constitution. He also said that Biden cannot invoke the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination in Congress “because his lawyers have said that he’s no longer subject to any criminal prosecution,” he also speculated.

“That would be an impeachable offense. That would be the crime of bribery,” he said, adding that it still hasn’t been proven that his father was in the room with him while he made the demand

Because “there is probable cause,” he said, “This has to be investigated.”

“And thank God for our system of checks and balances that we have a Congress that is not controlled by the party in power and can do the kind of investigation, and Biden can’t plead his Fifth Amendment anymore, because his lawyers have said that he’s no longer subject to any criminal prosecution. So, please, go forward with these investigations,” he said.

Whistleblower Claims

It comes as a whistleblower asserted that the younger Biden sent a WhatsApp message to a Chinese businessman in 2017 saying that he was  “sitting here with my father,” and used the older Biden’s name and connections to follow Hunter’s “direction.” The message was sent to Henry Zhao, a Chinese business associate of Hunter’s who reportedly has connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
