House Republicans have recently released the transcript of Hunter Biden's closed-door deposition, shedding light on his business dealings in Ukraine and China. The deposition, which lasted several hours, revealed Hunter Biden's adamant denial that his father, the President of the United States, ever benefited from his ventures.
During the combative interview, Hunter Biden reiterated that his father was never involved in his business and never received any financial gains from his dealings. He specifically mentioned a $1,300 repayment for a loan as the only instance of money going to his father.
Republicans scrutinized banking records that purportedly showed funds from Hunter Biden to his father, implying profit-sharing from Ukrainian business activities. However, Hunter Biden refuted these claims, asserting that the records do not support such allegations.
Despite facing tough questioning from Republican staff and members of Congress, Hunter Biden remained defiant and maintained his stance that his father had no involvement in his business affairs. The deposition also touched on Hunter Biden's acknowledgment of past drug use, a topic that was raised during exchanges with certain lawmakers.
Notably, comparisons were drawn to other political figures, such as Jared Kushner, who engaged in business dealings post his father-in-law's tenure, highlighting differing standards of scrutiny. The transcript provides insights into the ongoing investigation by Republicans, who view Hunter Biden's business activities as pivotal in their efforts to impeach the President.
