Bombarded with an impeachment inquiry and the threat of a contempt of Congress charge, Joe and Hunter Biden ran to friendly regime media for cover on December 13, 2023.
After defying a subpoena to testify before the House Oversight Committee on Dec. 13, Hunter Biden told his dad’s pals in legacy media: “Here I am Mr. Chairman, taking up your offer when you said we can bring these people for depositions or committee hearings, whichever they choose. Well, I’ve chosen, I’m here to testify at a public hearing today to answer any of the committee’s legitimate questions,” Hunter Biden said. “I’m also here today to correct how the MAGA right has portrayed me for their political purposes.”
Hunter went on to say: “Let me state as clearly as I can: My father was not financially involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Burisma, not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman, not in my investments at home nor abroad, and certainly not as an artist.”
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that Joe Biden was aware of what his son was going to tell the press.
While portrayed by media strategic allies glowingly as an admirable father and son sticking up for one another, independent media and analysts raised the more obvious scenario: criminal collusion.
