On Friday's 'PBS NewsHour,' New York Times columnist David Brooks stated that Hunter Biden 'was clearly trying to peddle influence' but he doesn't think | Clips
columnist David Brooks stated that Hunter Biden “was clearly trying to peddle influence” but he doesn’t think he succeeded in doing so, but acknowledged, “I have sort of underestimated the Hunter Biden story. I think it’s probably worth a look to see if there was actual influence peddling.”
Brooks said, “Well, it’s certainly a liability. It sort of feeds into the narrative that he’s part of the Washington establishment, everybody’s self-dealing. So, that’s a liability. The gun charge, he was a sick man, frankly, who had some drug issues. And the gun charge, to me, is an ancillary issue. To me, I want to know — he was clearly trying to peddle influence.
He added, “[W]hat Donald Trump admits to doing is way worse than what the Bidens deny doing. Nonetheless, he’s the son of the president. He’s got lots of money from the Ukrainians. He got lots of money from the Chinese. There’s a reason he got lots of money, and it’s not because of his skills. It’s because his last name is Biden. And so, when you get a case like that, set aside what needs to be done to Donald Trump, it’s worth looking into.
