The Department of Justice (DOJ) is currently facing a set of accusations from a former prosecutor concerning the investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.
John Durham, a former prosecutor in the Justice Department, is claiming that he was told to limit his questioning of potential witnesses who could shed light on Hunter Biden’s overseas activities during the 2020 election cycle. Durham’s claims were first reported by the Washington Examiner.
Durham is expected to appear for a deposition in the coming weeks. He is expected to provide further details surrounding the claims he has previously made in the media. The deposition is likely to be one of the few opportunities he has to testify publicly about what he experienced while serving as a prosecutor at the DOJ.
The revelations concerning Durham’s allegations have been met with scrutiny from many prominent politicians. Republican senator Lindsey Graham has already called for Durham to testify before Congress. Graham has reportedly planned to call Durham to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Durham’s claims have been met with skepticism from those who support the former Vice President. The Biden campaign has denied any wrongdoing and praised Durham’s decision to reveal the previously unheard-of allegations.
The stakes are high for the Biden camp as it tries to protect itself from any further accusations that could cause a decline in its poll numbers. If Durham provides convincing evidence that there was any interference with the investigation of Hunter Biden, it could potentially put added pressure on the Biden campaign.
At the same time, this also serves as yet another opportunity for Biden to prove his innocence and assure the public of his supposed honesty and integrity. While only time will tell what Durham’s deposition ultimately reveals, it’s certain that the story will be closely followed by both Democrats and Republicans alike.
