‘Somebody’s Lying’: Jonathan Turley Says Congress Should Start ‘Bringing People in’ for Answers in Biden Probe

Jonathan Turley said Monday that “somebody’s lying” about whether U.S. Attorney David Weiss was prevented by the Justice Department from seeking felony charges against Hunter Biden.

Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee released transcripts Thursday of depositions from Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblowers who said Attorney General Merrick Garland and IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel lied to Congress about interference with the Hunter Biden probe. The whistleblowers said Weiss sought special counsel status and was denied permission to file felony charges against Biden in the District of Columbia and in California.

“The different accounts that we’ve heard about what happened in this investigation cannot be reconciled,” Turley told “America Reports” co-host Sandra Smith. “Somebody’s lying, and there is real criminal and impeachable conduct that could be raised and that means Congress’ power is at its apex, and they can move forward and it needs to move forward and it has a full array of powers to do that with.”

The Justice Department announced Tuesday that Hunter Biden would plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges, while a felony gun charge would be addressed via a pre-trial diversion program in what many critics called a “sweetheart deal.”

“Congress needs to start bringing people in. There is nothing that constraints the mind as much as a congressional subpoena,” Turley said. “Hunter Biden should be called in. We need to stop the nonsense. His team is suggesting that maybe the laptop isn’t ours, maybe this is not his message. Call him in and let’s get an answer on the record what this is about.”
