President Joe Biden vehemently denied any involvement in a supposed extortion attempt by his son Hunter Biden towards a Chinese businessman. When confronted by a reporter on the White House lawn about his alleged presence during the sending of a threatening WhatsApp message by his son, President Biden responded with a firm “No!” He reiterated his denial and expressed his intention not to be involved as he departed for an event in Chicago.
In recent days, the White House has refrained from commenting on the WhatsApp message or addressing whether Hunter Biden’s claim of being with the president when he sent it is accurate. However, the White House has consistently maintained that President Biden had no involvement in his son’s business endeavors.
The discovered WhatsApp message surfaced shortly after Hunter Biden pled guilty to two misdemeanor tax crimes. The message, which was revealed in testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee, involved Hunter Biden asking businessman Henry Zhao about an unfulfilled energy deal. In the message, Hunter Biden mentioned that he was with his father and emphasized the urgency of resolving the issue promptly.
It is worth noting that at the time of the message, Joe Biden was a private citizen, having recently completed his term as vice president and having served as a senator for Delaware for many years.
Hunter Biden’s attorney, Christopher Clark, responded to the disclosure of the message by highlighting his client’s struggles with addiction at the time. Clark emphasized that Hunter Biden’s words and actions during that period should be viewed as his own and should not be associated with his family.
Gary Shapley, a former IRS agent, testified that the Department of Justice (DOJ) mishandled the investigation into Hunter Biden, providing him preferential treatment. Shapley expressed concern that there was evidence to charge Hunter Biden for his 2014 tax filing as well. The DOJ has stated that the charging decisions were made by U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump and allowed to continue the investigation under President Biden.
In a letter to the House Judiciary Committee, Weiss assured that his decisions regarding the case were made independently and without political considerations.
Overall, President Biden vehemently denies being involved in the alleged shakedown incident, emphasizing his commitment to not interfering in his son’s business affairs. The White House has maintained its silence on the matter, and Hunter Biden’s attorney attributes his client’s actions to his addiction struggles. The DOJ’s handling of the investigation into Hunter Biden has raised concerns about potential preferential treatment and the need for further examination.
