.SpeakerMcCarthy rips AG Merrick Garland for 'tilting the scales' to protect Biden family
In an op-ed for Fox News, McCarthy argued that under the current DOJ, justice is neither"blind" nor"equal," but that House Republicans are working to check the alleged weaponization of the department."Evidence continues to mount that the Biden Justice Department enforces the law unequally by tilting the scales to favor friends and family while unleashing the FBI and prosecutors on President Biden’s political opponent.
"After a five-year investigation, the president’s son received a sweetheart deal from his father’s DOJ in which Hunter Biden was allowed to plea down to misdemeanor tax charges and would not face any charges for money laundering or working as an unregistered lobbyist," McCarthy wrote. "When a prosecutor shields his boss’s son from investigators, it smells like a cover-up," he wrote."Garland’s DOJ did not aggressively follow the money. Why? Are they afraid of where that trail ends?"
