During a recent hearing, witnesses testified under oath about specific meetings with President Joe Biden discussing foreign dealings and family business interests. Bank records were introduced showing transfers of millions to Hunter and various Biden family members. This evidence contradicts the president's previous denials of any knowledge or involvement in influence peddling.
Rep. Dan Goldman, D., N.Y., raised questions about the mounting evidence against the Bidens, prompting witnesses to provide damaging answers. In one instance, a WhatsApp message from Hunter to a Chinese businessman was revealed, indicating Joe Biden's involvement. Another email read into the record contradicted the president's denials.
Former Biden partner Tony Bobulinski confirmed that references to 'the Big Guy' in emails were indeed about Joe Biden. However, some Democratic members, like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, appeared dismissive and unprepared during the hearing. Ocasio-Cortez's questioning of Bobulinski's claims highlighted a lack of understanding of potential criminal acts, such as racketeering.
The hearing showcased a disconnect between the evidence presented and the responses from Democratic members. While it is increasingly clear that Hunter Biden engaged in influence peddling, there is still debate over Joe Biden's knowledge and involvement in these activities. The hearing raised important questions about corruption and transparency within the Biden family's business dealings.
