WATCH: Republican Congresswoman BLASTS Joe Biden, Says He Used His Son Hunter For ‘Money Laundering, Tax Evasion’

On Monday, Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (R-NY) of the House Ways and Means Committee told Fox Business's Maria Bartiromo that Joe Biden used his controversial son Hunter Biden to "enrich" himself and his family. 

When discussing the role of the Biden Department of Justice (DoJ) in the probe into Hunter Biden, Tenney told Bariromo, "Look, the FBI is dirty. These are dirty cops. This what is happened during this investigation. The Department of Justice engaged basically in obstructing justice, in preventing the story from coming out. They interfered to make sure that these IRS agents, who by the way were investigating a pornography ring, somehow end up with Hunter Biden’s story."

"This is an important part of the mix too. Look, we can all focus on Hunter Biden, but the real story here is Joe Biden and how Hunter Biden was the proxy for Joe and the family. This started, as Peter Schweizer pointed out, back when Joe Biden was vice president. He was peddling his influence, using his son. Remember, you talked about this Maria, traveling on Air Force Two, meeting with the Chinese, now the Chinese have data, they have a phone that was issued to him by the Chinese Communist Party. All this stuff is happening, and this is while he is Vice President of the United States," Tenney continued during her Monday appearance on Baritomo's Fox Business program 'Mornings With Maria.' 
 
"So while he’s Vice President we are seeing influence peddling we are seeing, you know, violation of ethics laws, violation of campaign financing. Then he becomes a private citizen, but they’re still trying to get this money from Hunter Biden to Joe, and this is how the relationship started and continues," Tenney continued. "So while he’s a private citizen this becomes money laundering, tax evasion and all those things that these IRS agents really stumbled upon, these whistleblowers that we heard from. That's what's really going on here. I mean, as the Democrats try to say, 'how can you attack the venerable institution of the FBI, and how can you say 'now Joe's a private citizen.'" 

“This is an activity that has been going on for years, using his position to protect himself and also using his position, Joe Biden, to enrich himself and his family. You don't live for fifty years on the pay that members of Congress, and Senate, and even the Vice President make and live in multi-million dollar mansions in beautiful, exquisite areas like Rehoboth Beach and even Wilmington, Delaware... We know there is something there, but the DoJ slow-walked this as the evidence proves," Tenney added.
