Biden DENIES ‘interacting’ with Hunter’s business partners – despite records of 22 phone calls

President Joe Biden denied “interactions” with Hunter Biden’s business associates and called the allegations “lies” when asked about the Republican impeachment inquiry.

He insisted there was no contact with associates of the controversial son, despite the GOP providing evidence of at least 22 phone calls attended by the then-Vice President, dinners with Hunter associates in Washington, D.C., restaurants and participation in coffee meetings. .

Biden’s denial came just days after congressional investigators discovered he received $1,380 in monthly payments from Hunter’s company.

The president answered a question on the topic at the end of a brief statement in which he urged Republicans to commit billions of dollars in military and other aid to Ukraine while signaling a commitment to addressing border issues.

“I didn’t do it—it’s just a bunch of lies,” Biden said.

He was asked about survey revealing that nearly 70 percent of Americans believe he did something unethical or illegal regarding family business interests, and why he communicated with “so many” associates of his son Hunter and brother James.

“I’m not going to comment, I didn’t do it,” Biden began, before repeatedly lashing out at the “lies.”

“It’s just a bunch of lies,” President Joe Biden said when asked why he was communicating with “so many” of Hunter Biden’s business associates.

Earlier this week, House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) released bank records that Republicans say indicate he received at least three monthly payments from a company owned Hunter Biden it took millions from China.

The transfers have been happening since 2018, after Biden left the post of vice president. He received three payments of $1,380 each on Sept. 17, Oct. 15 and Nov. 15, according to records filed by the GOP.

The payments came from Owasco PC, a company owned by Hunter.

Comer’s spokesman called them “part of a pattern showing that Joe Biden knew about, participated in and benefited from his family’s influence-spreading schemes.”

Hunter Biden is currently facing investigations into his taxes and finances, as well as potential disclosure issues with foreign lobbies. He was charged with a felony firearm offense in connection with a form he signed to purchase the firearm and also pleaded not guilty to two tax violations.

The payments were made for a 2018 Ford Raptor truck that Biden bought and that Hunter used for a time, according to the Washington Post, which reviewed the email about it.

“I didn’t do it — it’s just a bunch of lies,” Biden said of his involvement in his son’s dealings at the end of his speech Wednesday.

Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Abbey Lowell, told the newspaper: “The truth is that Hunter’s father helped him when he was struggling financially due to his addiction and couldn’t get a loan to finance a truck. When Hunter was able to do this, he returned the money to his father and took over the payments.”

The president has repeatedly denied doing business with his son, but former business associates of Hunter Biden testified that he appeared briefly on conference calls or dropped in on meetings.

The House is moving toward a possible vote on a formal impeachment inquiry. House Speaker Mike Johnson said the vote would take place next week.
