Statement from Congressman Dan Goldman on Hunter Biden Plea Deal
Washington, DC – Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) today issued the following statement on Hunter Biden’s guilty plea to two misdemeanor tax charges.
“This was a thorough, professional, and exhaustive investigation into Hunter Biden’s finances which started under the Trump Administration and was investigated by a Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney, David Weiss, for five years.
“I have every confidence that the charges levied against Hunter Biden reflect Mr. Weiss’s fidelity to the rule of law — and his oath to proceed without fear or favor — and hold Hunter Biden accountable for every charge Mr. Weiss could prove.
“Ultimately, Hunter Biden is accepting responsibility for crimes and conduct that is virtually never charged by the DOJ.
“It is also clear that the U.S. Attorney’s exhaustive examination of Hunter Biden’s finances found no wrongdoing connected to President Biden, further debunking the rumors, hearsay, and innuendo coming from House Republicans.
“As with Donald Trump’s indictments, this case should be litigated in the court of law, not the court of public opinion, and most definitely not the halls of Congress.”
