Biden's son Hunter has always been the target of Republicans, and he held a rare press conference on the 13th local time to refute his father Biden's accusations of involvement in his overseas business transactions, and criticized the investigation proposed by the House of Representatives as shameless.
Hunter. According to Agence France-Presse, Hunter Biden, who has been in trouble in recent days, said outside the Capitol Hill: "My father is not financially involved in my business. On the evening of the 13th, the Federal House of Representatives voted 221 in favor and 212 against to approve a resolution authorizing the investigation of his 81-year-old father, Biden.
Hunt, 53, said: "He is not a practicing lawyer, nor is he a member of the board of directors of [Ukrainian Gazmo] Burisma, nor is he involved in my investments at home and abroad. ”
In addition, Hunter's refusal to testify at a closed-door hearing with Republicans today and his insistence on answering questions only in open meetings also angered Republican members of Congress.
Republicans have been using the scandal-ridden Hunter to attack the Democratic Biden, especially the former Trump who may be a Republican when Biden runs for re-election.
They claim that Biden unduly profited from his son's business dealings when he was Obama's deputy president, and that his son also benefited from them, calling it a family influence intervention program.
But Republicans have yet to provide any hard evidence of Biden's corruption, and the bill is unlikely to pass the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Despite this, Hunt still criticized the ** investigation as "shameless".
"What these Republicans are doing is not at all fair or decent," he said. They lied again and again about every aspect of my personal and professional life. ”
The House Oversight Committee said it would initiate contempt proceedings against Hunter.
