During an appearance on this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Sen. Ted Cruz criticized the Biden Justice Department’s handling of the Hunter Biden saga.
However, the Texas Republican predicted the corruption investigation of the younger Biden was part of an effort to indict former President Donald Trump. “Well, the evidence of corruption is now becoming overwhelming,” Cruz said. “And we have seen in the last month the Biden Department of Justice actively leaking that it intends to indict Hunter Biden. And I have to say, those leaks are troubling on three different bases. Number one, the Department of Justice shouldn’t be leaking anything. That is against the law. To the extent that revealing grand jury secrets, that is, in fact, a criminal offense, and they’re playing politics.
“What is concerning about their focus on the drug and tax issues is it is very carefully walling off why this is a matter of public concern,” he continued. “If Hunter Biden was just a regular guy who struggled with addiction, it wouldn’t be a matter of public interest. The reason it is a matter of public interest is there is significant and, in fact, overwhelming evidence that Hunter Biden was actively involved in official corruption with his father, Joe Biden.
“And the fact that the Biden DOJ is saying, ‘Oh, this is all a drug matter. Don’t pay attention to the big guy. Don’t pay attention to the corruption. Just make it one poor person struggling with addiction,'” Cruz added. “That’s highly concerning. And the third reason this is very troubling is, I think, all of this is a prelude to doing what Joe Biden and Merrick Garland want to do, which is indict Donald Trump. And they want to be able to say, look how even-handed we are.
