Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson have released records obtained from the Justice Department that show the government had evidence of possible prostitution-related crimes connected to Hunter Biden.
The records include text messages between the former first son and the women and suggest there is evidence of Mann Act violations dating back to October 2020. The Mann Act prohibits the transfer of individuals across state lines for prostitution or “any other immoral purpose.”
“[The] DOJ and FBI possessed evidence of potential crimes, yet it’s unclear what steps they … took to fully investigate this shocking evidence,” Grassley said in a statement to Just the News. He added, “We do know President Biden followed it up by issuing an unprecedented pardon to get his son off the hook for serious crimes. This is an affront to blind justice, and it’s especially sickening considering Hunter Biden’s actions appear to have put vulnerable women at risk.”
Possible Mann Act violations were also flagged by the IRS in 2023.
That same year, Treasury documents exposed alleged transactions between Biden and an “Eastern European prostitution ring,” reports indicated at the time. The documents contained Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) surrounding Biden’s accounts. According to a report submitted to the Treasury in December 2019 by Wells Fargo, nearly $7 million in questionable transactions were identified.
Concerns of a possible prostitution ring were highlighted by Grassley and Johnson in 2022. The senators wrote to former Attorney General Merrick Garland, former FBI Director Christopher Wray, and former U.S. Attorney David Weiss, stating that records suggest transactions were linked to what appeared to be a “prostitution or human trafficking ring.”
“These findings of potentially criminal behavior must be thoroughly investigated by law enforcement entities according to the highest ethical standards,” the senators wrote at the time. “Yet, due to your agencies’ continued failure to provide Congress with answers to its legitimate oversight questions, we have serious concerns about your review of this matter as well as the ongoing Hunter Biden criminal case. “
