The leader of the House impeachment inquiry into President Biden expressed satisfaction Tuesday after first son Hunter Biden was convicted on three counts of lying about his drug addiction to buy a gun.

Today’s verdict is a step toward accountability,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said in a statement, “but until the Department of Justice investigates everyone involved in the Bidens’ corrupt influence peddling schemes that generated over $18 million in foreign payments to the Biden family, it will be clear department officials continue to cover for the Big Guy, Joe Biden.”

Hunter, 54, was found guilty on all three charges by a federal jury in his home state of Delaware after three hours of deliberations across two days.

]Prosecutors successfully argued that the younger Biden knowingly fibbed that he was not addicted to any illegal substance on a federal gun purchase form, when in fact he was in the throes of a crack cocaine addiction
