House Republicans Press DOJ for Info on Hunter Biden’s Alleged Prostitutes, Claim They May Be Trafficking Victims

House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R., Ga.) claim Hunter Biden’s prostitutes are victims of sex trafficking in need of federal support, according to their jointly-written letter sent to the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday.

The pair inquired into whether the DOJ “is upholding the rights of victims who were sexually exploited” by the president’s son.

The letter follows the committee’s similar request in July, which also asked for “information regarding DOJ’s handling of victims’ rights in the Hunter Biden investigation.” Despite acknowledging it received the initial letter, the DOJ did not formally respond.

This week, both Comer and Greene decided to follow up with the department — specifically Hilary Axam, national human trafficking coordinator, and Kristina Rose, director of the Office for Victims of Crime.

“It is unclear to the Committee as to why you both made the alarming decision to ignore our original request,” the House Republicans wrote to Axam and Rose.

“This conduct is unprofessional and concerning given your leadership roles at DOJ. Considering the seriousness of this obstructive behavior, we request information as to whether anyone advised you not to respond to our inquiry, including any Department employee at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware, DOJ Office of Legislative Affairs (OLA), Main Justice, or the White House,” the letter read.

Comer and Greene cited congressional testimony from IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler, who said in June Hunter Biden violated the Mann Act by engaging in interstate prostitution. According to Ziegler, the DOJ was “compiling” a list of women in its investigation of Hunter Biden. However, Ziegler said at the time he didn’t “know what ultimately happened” to the list.

“These women may be victims under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act and may also be afforded mandatory restitution pursuant to the Mandatory Victim Restitution Act,” Comer and Greene wrote. “In light of DOJ’s refusal to communicate in a meaningful way with the Committee, we have great skepticism that DOJ has been adequately communicating with crime victims.”

The DOJ has until September 22 to respond.

The second request comes as the first son faces mounting legal troubles, particularly related to tax crimes and gun possession.

In August, a Delaware judge dismissed two outstanding misdemeanor tax charges after he pleaded not guilty. This set the stage for additional charges, one of which was announced Wednesday, when a court filing revealed special counsel David Weiss intends to indict Hunter Biden on a federal gun charge by the end of September.
