Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has been under scrutiny for his foreign business dealings and tax evasion. He recently pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges of failing to pay more than $1 million in federal taxes, and is awaiting sentencing. However, he has not been forthcoming or transparent about his activities and involvement with foreign entities, especially those linked to China and Ukraine.
On Wednesday, Hunter Biden appeared at a press conference in Washington, DC, where he claimed that he was there to take questions from the media and the public. However, as soon as he finished his prepared remarks, he got in a car and drove away, without answering any questions or addressing any of the allegations against him. This was a clear sign of his evasion and arrogance, and a disrespect for the American people who deserve to know the truth.
Hunter Biden's behavior was also a contrast to his father's pledge to restore trust and integrity to the White House, and to uphold the highest ethical standards for himself and his family. President Joe Biden has repeatedly denied that he was involved or aware of his son's business dealings, and that he never discussed them with him. He has also dismissed the investigations into Hunter Biden as a political witch hunt by the Republicans, who are trying to smear him and his administration.
However, there is mounting evidence that contradicts President Biden's claims, and that suggests that he may have used his influence and position to benefit his son and his associates. For example, a voicemail obtained by the New York Post⁵ shows that Joe Biden knew of Hunter's China dealings, and that he spoke with one of his Chinese business partners in 2017. A text message found on Hunter's laptop⁴ also indicates that Joe Biden was present when Hunter discussed his business plans with a Chinese tycoon in 2017. Moreover, a testimony by Devon Archer, Hunter's former business partner, reveals that Joe Biden was frequently put on speakerphone by Hunter to speak with his foreign contacts¹.
These revelations raise serious questions about the extent and nature of Joe Biden's involvement and knowledge of his son's business affairs, and whether he compromised the national security and interests of the United States for his personal and family gain. They also call into question the credibility and honesty of Joe Biden, who has not been transparent or accountable to the American people about this issue. They also expose the hypocrisy and double standards of the mainstream media and the Democratic Party, who have largely ignored or downplayed the Hunter Biden scandal, while they relentlessly pursued and attacked former President Donald Trump and his family for their alleged conflicts of interest and corruption.
Hunter Biden's press conference was a missed opportunity for him to clear the air and to address the serious allegations against him and his father. Instead, he chose to evade and escape, leaving behind more questions and doubts. His actions showed that he has no sense of responsibility or remorse, and that he thinks he is above the law and the public scrutiny. His actions also reflected poorly on his father, who has failed to hold him accountable and to set an example of ethical leadership. Hunter Biden's press conference was a disgrace and a disappointment, and it made no sense.
