Joe Biden’s son Hunter testified behind closed doors Wednesday in Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into the US president, insisting “I don’t have my father involved in my business” and that House Republicans “have built your entire partisan house of cards on it” On top of lies”. Republicans are competing to do damage to the Democratic president ahead of the November election, with their nominee likely to be scandal-plagued Donald Trump. Hunter Biden also spoke about the “big shot” conspiracy – mentioning his father in an email about a business deal with a Chinese government-linked energy company.
The proceedings lasted more than six hours, with Hunter Biden frequently clashing with Republicans questioning him.
Asked about a series of financial transactions that Republicans say directly suggest wrongdoing by his father, the 54-year-old flatly denied any wrongdoing.
The younger Biden reportedly told the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees: “I’m here today to provide the committee with an indisputable fact that should end this investigation on its false premise: I did not involve my father in my business.” He prepared a speech.
“Not when I was a practicing attorney, not in domestic or international investments or transactions, as a board member, not as an artist. Never,” he further said. independent.
In a heated debate, Hunter Biden has challenged Republican lawmakers to prove that he sent money to his father in addition to repaying a small car loan.
The argument occurred after the questioner, who according to CNN Unidentified accuses Hunter Biden of “extorting your business partners.”
He was also asked about a 2017 email from a business associate suggesting that Joe Biden, then a private citizen, should have a financial stake in business deals — and that Hunter Biden should “provide for The big guys” hold the funds.
Hunter Biden said in response: “All I know is what was implemented in the agreement, and that agreement had nothing to do with my father.”
Republicans have long targeted the embattled young Biden, a recovering crack cocaine addict, for his alleged shady business dealings and sought to tie the accusations to the current U.S. president.
But the impeachment inquiry hit a snag earlier this month when former FBI informant Alexander Smirnov was arrested and charged with lying and fabricating false corruption charges against Hunter.
So far, the investigation into Biden Jr. has found no evidence to substantiate Republican accusations against his family.
However, this resulted in criminal charges against Hunter Biden for tax evasion and lying about drug use when applying for a firearms license.
