                           IRS WHISTLEBLOWERS

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, today the House Committee on 
Oversight and Accountability heard the testimony of two IRS 
whistleblowers who revealed how the Department of Justice interfered in 
the investigation of the foreign business dealings of the Biden family. 
During this oversight hearing, we learned that Hunter Biden received 
money from China and other countries.
  Today's hearing made it apparent that there are two sets of rules in 
this country, one for the Biden family and another for the rest of us. 
If people in my district did even a small amount of what Hunter Biden 
did, they would have to serve time in jail. Instead of receiving full 
accountability from our Justice Department, the two IRS whistleblowers 
confirmed that the Attorney General was not impartial in its 
investigation.
  Further, they revealed that President Biden not only knew about 
Hunter Biden's corrupt foreign business deals, but he was in the room 
for the deals.
  Hunter Biden, with the full knowledge and participation of then-Vice 
President Biden, leveraged his family name during these shady business 
deals, which is absolutely an abuse of power and not an appropriate use 
of the Office of the Vice President.

  If the Department of Justice will not do its job and complete a 
thorough investigation, then it is up to Congress to employ the 
accountability needed. Iowans want to have full faith in our criminal 
justice system, and that starts with an equal application of the law.
  Madam Speaker, I wish a happy birthday to my brother-in-law, Ralph 
Martino.
  Happy birthday, Ralph.
