Hunter Biden’s lawyer sent letters Monday morning calling for investigations into two of the president’s son’s top Republican agitators.
Abbe Lowell, Biden’s attorney, wrote to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Inspector General regarding former Trump administration official Garrett Ziegler and also to the Office of Congressional Ethics about Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, according to the letters. The probes relate to Ziegler‘s handling of “suspicious activity reports” (SARs) and Greene‘s constant criticism of the Biden family.
“Ziegler has used Mr. Biden’s SARs and other financial records to craft a false narrative that Mr. Biden is associated with a human trafficking ring,” the letter reads. “On behalf of our client, I respectfully request that the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Treasury review and investigate how and with whom Ziegler acted or collaborated or conspired to obtain my client’s private financial records before illegally publishing them.”
Ziegler obtained and published the SARs on his website Marco Polo that contain personal financial information linked to Biden, which the letter alleges were illegally obtained from J.P. Morgan. The letter pointed to Ziegler’s comments on the issue where he claims an “insider” at the bank provided him the reports.
The letter also brought up Ziegler’s cooperation with House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, Republican from Kentucky, and his use of the reports in a press conference, where he said the reports tie Biden to human trafficking. Several other probes into Biden’s financial records have been weighed against the president’s son, and federal prosecutors are currently deciding whether to charge him with three tax counts.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury confirmed with the Daily Caller News Foundation their receipt of the letter and that it is under review.
Another letter to the House Ethics Committee seeks investigation into Greene‘s continuous “defamatory” attacks against the entire Biden family and whether she violates House rules. The letter alleges that Greene’s conduct doesn’t have to do with making legislation or acting with congressional oversight.
“Representative Greene’s unethical conduct arises from her continuous verbal attacks, defamatory statements, publication of personal photos and data, and promotion of conspiracy theories about and against Robert Hunter Biden,” the letter reads. “None of these could possibly be deemed to be part of any legitimate legislative activity, as is clear from both the content of her statements and actions, and the forums she uses to spew her often unhinged rhetoric.”
The letter addresses specific instances of Greene accusing the Biden family of human trafficking involvement on social media, as well as posting and allegedly mischaracterizing photos of the president’s son. The letter also pointed out how members of her own party, specifically GOP Rep. Mark Green, have recently come out against Greene’s conduct in office.
The Office of Congressional Ethics declined to comment and Greene did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
Should give him the same consideration the dims have given the pubs for the past 8 years.
These letters will more than likely have their intended effect. That’s how corrupt the government is.
Totally agree. You can bet this will cause some inside the DOJ to launch an investigation into GOP figures.
I’m sure that the DOJ and the rest of legal watchdogs in the Brandon Administration will pounce on this while continuing to ignore the transgressions of Hunter Biden and the rest of the Biden Crime Family, including the Big Guy.
“”Greene‘s constant criticism of the Biden family.”
Oh! No! Tell me that’s not so. Can they have her sent to detention hall? Will we ALL have to go? Keep us inside during recess maybe? After school?
Lowell is also Hillary’s lawyer. He’s the one who got her removed from any fbi investigation and charges.
Whatever. They don’t like it when the shoe is on the other foot. This won’t end well for the Biden’s. Not because it couldn’t, but because it appears their own party wants them out of the way and the Biden clan isn’t playing ball.
I read that Obama’s brain quit the White House.
Any "inquiry" into Hunter will amount to nothing. It's Kabuki theater.
Even if Hunter were to be convicted of a crime - his daddy will pardon him. Again, why does any republican believe Biden and his crime family are touchable?
Hunter’s beef appears to be that citizens of the United States have made inaccurate and deliberately misleading statements about him which have besmirched his reputation and caused him harm. The appropriate venue for determining if the statements were simply an exercise in free speech, protected under the Constitution, or were untrue and malicious, is the civil courts. Hunter should be suing his attackers for libel, not attempting to circuitously persuade the federal bureaucracy to spend tax money investigating and harassing private citizens exercising the right to free speech.
If Hunter had a compelling defamation case his attorneys would have already been in court filing a lawsuit. A court trail would be conducted in an open forum and the defendants would have discovery rights.
Attempting to sick agencies of the federal government on these citizens is the worst form of law fare. It the heads of the agencies had any integrity they would tell Hunter’s attorneys to pound sand.
She quit so that the when TSHTF she won’t be in the line of splatter................
Biden apparently forgot that ‘Blackmail’ works both ways.
They are still blackmailing him with Hunter evidence.
.................
Another example of this mis-administration’s weaponizing of government to support and advance a political agenda. TREASON.
How about an investigation of Hunter raping his niece Natalie when she was 14 years old. You know, the photo that shows Hunter leaning on a doorway, naked with a full erection and Natalie laying on a bed in the background. The photo that is readily available from the dark web. The photo that is PROOF he raped an underage girl. The photo that the FBI knows about but still ignores everything on the laptop from hell. Yeah, thought so.
it will be interesting if 9 or 12 family members are involved, first one to break gets the best deal....bet someone is sweating profuseley about now...
