Top Democrats on the House Oversight Committee dinged Hunter Biden on Sunday while distancing President Biden from his son’s scandals.
gently dinged Hunter Biden on Sunday while distancing President Biden from his son’s scandals.
The announcement came in the wake of congressional testimony from IRS whistleblowers alleging political favoritism in the federal probe and the implosion of Hunter Biden’s plea deal last month. The Maryland Democrat contended the crumbled plea dead for Hunter over tax and firearm charges paved the way for the special counsel appointment.
Fellow Oversight colleague Rep. Dan Goldman steered clear of bashing Hunter Biden outright, but acknowledged allegations from Hunter’s longtime business partner Devon Archer that the first son leveraged the family brand for financial gain.“I think that same witness also made very clear that they never discussed business [and] that Hunter Biden was trying to promote an illusion of access to his father for his own reasons,” Goldman told CNN’s “State of the Union”.
“It was detrimental to Burisma as Devon Archer, this new star witness for the Republicans, said because the Burisma had the corrupt prosecutor general — and I quote — the witness under control,” Goldman said.
