The appointment of a special counsel may appear to put a bullseye on Hunter Biden and threaten to make the family’s foreign business deals a lasting issue for the president’s reelection campaign.
However, some Republicans fear the federal probe is a device to whitewash President Biden’s purported involvement in pay-to-play schemes.
“This appointment is camouflage, and it’s a cover-up. I think it’s disgraceful,” Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Republican. said on “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo.” “It’s what my Republican colleagues have been demanding and asking for months. And now, they seem to disapprove of it for some reason,” Rep. Jamie Raskin, Maryland Democrat, said on ABC’s “This Week.”
It also would have offered him immunity against any future charges related to his past business deals as a board member of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. “After five years and what we know happened in the grand jury, of course, that had to be part of what the prosecutor has already looked at, as well as every other false allegation made by the right-wing media and others, whether it’s corruption or FARA or money laundering,” Mr. Lowell said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “That was part of what this prosecutor’s office had to have been looking over for five years.
