The warrant names James B. Biden and his wife Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens and her husband John T. Owens, and Francis W. Biden, for any nonviolent federal offense they “may have committed or taken part in” from 1 January 2014 to the date of the pardon. [1]
Biden said: “My family has been subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me—the worst kind of partisan politics. Unfortunately, I have no reason to believe these attacks will end.” He added that the pardons “should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that they engaged in any wrongdoing.” [2]
Of the five, James had the most exposure: he was central to the business dealings the House investigated, and in June 2024 House Republicans referred him to the Justice Department for allegedly lying to them about a 2017 meeting with Tony Bobulinski. He denies wrongdoing. James Biden’s business has the details. [3][4]
