The report alleges that members of the Biden family received funds from foreign sources. Gowdy expressed his disappointment at the lack of interest shown by the D.C. media in the latest details.
Tolman added, "You didn't have several of the larger media stations covering this." The committee's findings reveal that "Biden family members and business associates created a web of over 20 companies" that "received over $10 million from foreign nationals and related companies." The committee investigated bank records that identified payments to Biden family members from foreign companies while Joe Biden served as Vice President and after he left public office.
Tolman expressed concern over the alleged transactions, stating, "If you can't identify the business of those 25 LLCs, then what you have is a shell game to move money." Gowdy argued that if similar allegations were leveled against the Bush, Romney, or Trump families, there would be a "guarantee" of D.C. media interest.

Gowdy also questioned whether the Department of Justice (DOJ) is paying attention or pursuing an investigation. Tolman voiced his disappointment at the current situation, highlighting that such cases involving shell LLCs and money movement were once the "bread and butter of the fraud and corruption unit at DOJ." Tolman further emphasized the DOJ's seeming reluctance to prosecute cases.

"We're looking at a DOJ who refuses to prosecute certain cases now, that have a political angle to them," Tolman said. He then criticized the department for re-prosecuting cases involving individuals granted clemency by former President Donald Trump while not pursuing potential criminal activity within the Biden family.

Tolman said, "They'll re-prosecute, you know, Philip Esformes who was given clemency by President Trump, but they won't go after a Joe Biden family member who appears to be in a crime syndicate."
Tolman concluded, "The only explanation is that the executive level of the FBI and the executive level at DOJ, there are political decisions being made." He described this as a "tragic" new chapter for those who served in the DOJ, underscoring the need for impartiality "when it makes decisions on who to put into jail."
