Avast ye scallywags! Thar be talk from the Top House Buccaneers that the White House has taken a jolly turn in its tune! They claim President Biden be sailin' away from his lad Hunter's foreign business adventures. Arrr, what a sea change indeed!
Top House Republicans are raising concerns about a "clear shift" in messaging from the White House regarding President Biden's knowledge and involvement in his son Hunter's foreign business dealings. In a letter obtained exclusively by Fox News, the Republicans demand clarity on whether the president knew more than he previously claimed. The lawmakers point to a statement released by White House spokesperson Ian Sams on June 29, which they believe deviates from previous statements and suggests that the president was aware of his son's business deals. They ask a series of questions, including whether President Biden knew of and was involved in Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings, how many deals he was aware of, and whether he was financially compensated. The Republicans also mention their committee investigations into potential connections and misconduct by the Department of Justice related to Hunter Biden's tax crimes. They highlight concerns about payments received by the Biden family without apparent legitimate services rendered, questioning the ethics and national security implications. Additionally, they reference a WhatsApp message from 2017 in which Hunter Biden allegedly claimed that he and his father would ensure regret for not following his direction. The lawmakers also inquire about the existence of an open investigation by the Justice Department regarding this message. The Republicans emphasize the need for public confidence in the president's lack of compromise by foreign interests and requested a response from the White House by July 27. As of now, the White House has not responded to the request for comment.
