Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson has sharply criticized liberal media outlets and the Department of Justice, alleging a double standard in their handling of the Donald Trump indictment and the ongoing Hunter Biden investigation. Johnson questioned the timing and speed of the Trump indictment, contrasting it with the protracted nature of the Hunter Biden probe. He expressed concern over potential political interference by the FBI and DOJ in the upcoming 2024 election, referencing past investigations into Hillary Clinton and alleged Russian collusion as examples of previous interference.

Johnson pointed to what he sees as a stark contrast: the swift indictment of former President Trump on 37 federal counts related to classified documents versus the slow pace of the Hunter Biden investigation, which has spanned years. He voiced suspicions about the DOJ's motives, suggesting an attempt to hinder Trump's political aspirations. The Senator's comments followed the House Oversight Committee's acquisition of a document allegedly showing both Joe and Hunter Biden receiving substantial payments from a Burisma executive.

He also criticized the mainstream media, accusing them of complicity in downplaying the Biden family's alleged business dealings while highlighting concerns about Trump. Johnson drew parallels to past presidential decisions regarding potential prosecutions, noting that both Presidents Ford and Trump chose not to pursue legal action against their predecessors, Nixon and Clinton, respectively. He contrasted these decisions with the current administration's pursuit of charges against Trump.

Johnson further asserted that after reviewing relevant documents, he believes the Biden family was fully aware of the nature of the individuals they were conducting business with. He characterized the situation as a "horrible mess" and expressed strong doubts about the impartiality of the agencies involved. The senator’s criticisms come amidst escalating political tensions and heightened scrutiny of both the Trump and Biden families.
