Jim Jordan grills AG Garland over allowing Hunter Biden's potential Burisma charges to 'lapse'
Fox News
Attorney General Merrick Garland deflected questions from House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan regarding Hunter Biden's alleged crimes related to Burisma.
Jordan recited the facts leading up to the case, that Biden had taken a lucrative position at Burisma he was not qualified for, and that Burisma executives had told him they were "under pressure." He then asserted that President Biden, then Vice President, moved to get a prosecutor looking into the company fired.
