Miller, Rice Urge U.S. Attorney General to Appoint Special Counsel to Investigate Hunter Biden | 2022-04-13 | 2022 | 2022-04 | Republican | House | WV | Carol D. Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON D.C. – Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) joined Congressman Tom Rice (R-SC) and 93 of their colleagues in sending a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland urging him to appoint a Special Counsel for the investigation into Hunter Biden and his foreign business dealings. The letter reads in part, "It appears that Hunter Biden used his position as son of then-Vice President Biden to gain wealth and influence in foreign countries, using questionably sourced money to pay tax liabilities, and lobbying on behalf of foreign entities without proceeding through the proper channels. We are concerned that in the case of Hunter Biden the Department has an actual conflict of interest and certainly has the appearance of a conflict of interest that could prevent a fair and impartial investigation of his activities. You were nominated to your position by Hunter Biden’s father and ultimately work for him. "President Trump and his Administration endured closer scrutiny from the Department of Justice for lesser accusations. The then-Attorney General appointed a Special Counsel to investigate President Trump based on the Steele Dossier: a salacious and unverified political smear campaign. It was argued then that a Special Counsel was necessary because the Department could not be seen to impartially investigate the sitting President. This same standard applies here."
