The Justice Department is investigating Hunter Biden, the son of the president.
The Republican from Kentucky spoke on Fox News about the investigation into Biden.
The Department of Justice is going to have to deal with Hunter Biden. The wheels are turning to try to hold this family accountable.
Federal prosecutors in Delaware have been investigating the president's son for years. While his father was vice president, investigators are looking into his taxes and other business activities, but no evidence of wrongdoing has yet been uncovered.
"I'm pretty confident that something will happen with the Department of Justice in the next 60 days with respect to Hunter Biden," he said.
"He's left a trail that's so obvious that no one, even the most partisan Democrat and the most partisan Biden supporter in the Department of Justice, can anymore ignore his wrongdoing," he said.
If the Republicans win the House in November, Hunter Biden will be an oversight priority, but not because of evidence.
CNN reported Wednesday that the investigation has reached a critical juncture.
People briefed on the probe told the outlet no decision had yet been made on whether or not to bring charges against Hunter Biden, but that discussions about potential charges and how to address a politically sensitive case have been increasing.
The charges being weighed involve tax violations and making a false statement when buying a firearm at a time he may have been barred from doing so due to his drug use and addiction. It is illegal to purchase a gun for someone who is an illegal user of or addicted to any controlled substance.
The Oversight Committee would continue its investigation into whether the president was connected to his son's dealings if the Department of Justice acted against Hunter Biden. There is no evidence that Biden's policies have been affected by his son.
The White House did not reply to Insider's requests for comment.
