Letter from members of Congress to Attorney General Barr concerning a special counsel related to Hunter Biden.
October 19, 2020The Honorable William Barr
Attorney General
U.S. Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20530
Dear Attorney General Barr,
Last week, reports surfaced about an uncovered hard drive and laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden.
Emails, allegedly on the hard drive, have indicated that Hunter Biden may have helped to orchestrate a payout to
his father, former Vice President Joe Biden, from his dealings with a Chinese energy corporation, and that he may
have compromised the integrity of his father’s role as Vice President of the United States with his business
dealings in Ukraine.
These alleged revelations raise serious issues about former Vice President Joe Biden’s reported participation with
his son’s business dealings, specifically whether the former vice president (1) received foreign monies during his
tenure in the Obama administration, and (2) if former Vice President Biden allowed his son to peddle access to
his father with foreign business entities.
Americans deserve public officials who take great care to protect the integrity of their offices. Our constituents
place great trust in their leaders at every level of government to conduct the people’s business with the utmost
honesty, transparency, and accountability.
If these reports about former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, are true, the former vice president fell
far short of his responsibility to uphold his constitutional oath and betrayed the sacred trust of the American
people.
It is imperative that the American people receive answers and a full accounting of former Vice President Biden’s
dealings with his son and his son’s business partners, and if the former vice president misused his office for
personal gain.
We request that the Department of Justice immediately appoint an independent, unbiased special counsel to
investigate the issues that we have raised – as well as any corresponding legal or ethical issues that might be
uncovered from the former vice president’s 47 years in public office.
We ask for a response to our request by Friday, October 23, 2020, at 5 PM EST.
Sincerely,
