Hunter Biden has acknowledged that his father, President Joe Biden, was the “big guy” in discussions about a business deal with a Chinese energy firm.
This revelation, made during Hunter’s deposition in an impeachment inquiry, contradicts previous denials.
“At one point, we asked Hunter about the 10% for the ‘big guy’. We showed him the email that that it laid it all out… And he said, ‘Oh, that was after my father left office,'” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene noted.
The deal involved a proposed equity split with a 10% share for the “big guy.”
Hunter defended his actions, claiming it was a pie-in-the-sky idea and that involving his father in calls was normal.
The deposition has sparked controversy, with accusations of money laundering and scrutiny of Hunter’s role in Burisma Holdings.
Rep. Greene raised concerns about potential accusations of Republican ties to Russia.
“There’s a really weird theme in there with the whole Russian thing,” Greene said.
“I have a prediction that they’re gonna move it on to members of Congress like me and others, Jim Jordan, Jamie Comer, any of us that got hot and heavy on this Ukraine Burisma stuff, that they’re somehow going to say that Republicans are Russian sympathizers,” Green added.
“They’re gonna call me that anyway, because I won’t fund the Ukraine war. They’re probably going to accuse us of being Russian sympathizers and falling for Russian disinformation and its election meddling. And then Democratic members of Congress here already saying they will not certify Trump’s election if he wins.”
