House GOP Investigates DOJ Retaliation in Biden Impeachment Inquiry
Jason Galanis, a key witness in the inquiry, alleges his home confinement was denied to silence him.
- House Republicans are investigating claims of DOJ retaliation against Jason Galanis, a federal prisoner who testified in the Biden impeachment inquiry.
- Galanis, serving a 14-year sentence for fraud, alleges his home confinement request was denied to prevent him from sharing information about Hunter Biden's business dealings.
- Galanis claims to have been a business partner of Hunter Biden, involving a scheme to attract billions from overseas investors using the Biden family name.
- The DOJ has previously charged Hunter Biden with tax evasion and illegal firearm possession, but not in connection with Galanis's fraud schemes.
- Republicans have also explored other avenues in their inquiry, including interviews with a New York gallerist and the trustee of a bankrupt healthcare company.
