(Daily Mail) House Republicans have released new documents from IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler that they say proves Hunter Biden lied in his interview with congressional investigators on at least three occasions.
The House Ways and Means Committee voted in closed-door session to make the information public.
Instead of impeaching President Joe Biden, lead Republicans are now focused in on criminal referrals to the Justice Department for prosecution.
They say Hunter lied about using his last name to help business partners with visa issues, his association with a company that was taking in massive foreign payments and threatening a Chinese businessman over WhatsApp.

‘Lying during sworn testimony is a felony offense that the Department of Justice has prosecuted numerous individuals for in recent years, and the American people expect the same accountability for the son of the President of the United States,’ Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith said in a statement.
‘Hunter Biden’s lies under oath, and obstruction of a congressional investigation into his family’s potential corruption, calls into question other pieces of his testimony. The newly released evidence affirms, once again, the only witnesses who can be trusted to tell the truth in this investigation are the IRS whistleblowers.’
At one point during the deposition, investigators asked Hunter what services he provided to Burisma executives while he was getting paid $50,000 a month to sit on their board. They asked him whether he’d used his father’s name and influence to help them obtain visas.
Hunter at the time swore he was unwilling to provide ‘any work as it related to visas that they needed’ and that he would ‘never pick up the phone and call anybody for a visa.’
The committee on Wednesday released an email from Hunter’s ex-business associate Devon Archer in response to concerns over the revoking of Burisma CEO Nikolay Zlochevsky’s visa.
