Rep. Comer says Joe Biden will pardon his brother James after son Hunter

12/08/2024 / By Ramon Tomey

U.S. Rep James Comer (R-KY) expects outgoing President Joe Biden to pardon his brother James following the Democrat’s pardon of his son Hunter.

Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee (HOC), made this remark Monday, Dec. 2., on the Fox News program “Hannity.” He told program host Sean Hannity that the pardons won’t stop with Hunter as more members of the Biden family – including James, a political consultant – would find themselves off the hook.

Hannity asked: “In your mind, is this over? Is this over for Joe? Is it over for his brother? Is it over for other family members that were paid monies here, or does this continue? Does Joe need to think about pardoning these family members and maybe himself?”

Comer replied: “Remember, the HOC referred Jim as well as Hunter to the Department of Justice for perjury. We deposed Biden and he lied under oath. We brought Jim in for a transcribed interview and he lied under oath. That’s in a report that [Rep.] Jim Jordan (R-OH) and I signed and published for the American people. So I would fully expect Joe to pardon Jim.”

“In our investigation, we found that [Biden] family members … profited from the influence-peddling schemes, where they were shaking down our adversaries around the world for tens of millions of dollars. And then they created all these shell companies and laundered the money through the shell companies.” (Related: Comer: 9 Biden family members identified as recipients of foreign cash.)

U.S. Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX), another member of the HOC, told the media agency on the same day that James Biden could “very well be” the next Biden family member to receive a presidential pardon. “Joe Biden has been lying to the American people for so long about this and other things,” he continued.

Joe makes sure no member of his family goes to jail

Comer’s remarks followed the 82-year-old Democratic president pardoning Hunter on Sunday, Dec. 1. The “full and unconditional pardon” for the presidential son came weeks before his sentencing on federal gun and tax crimes. Its scope from Jan. 1, 2014 through Dec. 1 also sparked controversy, as included in that period was the time he was involved in business deals with James.

A 2022 piece from the Washington Post described James, who is seven years younger than Joe, as a “political wild card.” James dabbled in various businesses, from nightclubs to insurance to hospitals. He would often drop the name of his more prominent brother to attract investors, the piece said.

“[James] has also walked up to ethical lines his brother has avoided, leaving a complicated trail of business dealings and angry lawsuits,” the Post continued. True enough, GOP lawmakers accused James of trading on his elder brother’s name to take out loans with no intention of paying them back.

Comer told Hannity on Monday: “Jim … took in all these loans, he didn’t pay any principal, had no loan documentation. At what point do these loans become income they never pay taxes on?”

“And by the way, why did he get those loans? And what was he doing?”

During a Feb. 21 joint hearing by the HOC and the House Judiciary Committee, James reiterated that he did not take out any improper loans. Fund manager Michael Lewitt wrote off $225,000 in loans to James’ firm when he was investing in a rural hospital chain.

But the following month, Lewitt told POLITICO that he did not forgive the loans. A third party took over James’ debt in 2020 when Joe was running for president. The fund manager did not name the third party when he spoke to the outlet.
