Scott Campaign Press Release - Fox News: Tim Scott Torches 'Forces Within Biden's DOJ Protecting His Family' for Hunter's Scuttled 'Sweetheart' Deal
Republican presidential candidate Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., took aim Thursday at the "forces within Biden's DOJ" that he said seek to protect the president and his family, suggesting that there may be individuals within the Justice Department that have been "suppressing" certain information.
"The only explanation for the sweetheart deal is forces within Biden's DOJ protecting his family. We've seen it time and time again – DOJ weaponized to hunt Republicans and protect Democrats. It's unAmerican and when I'm president we're going to clean house and start over," Scott said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "It shouldn't take years for evidence and information on Hunter Biden's transactions from drugs to guns to contracts to come to light unless there are forces within Biden's DOJ suppressing that information."
