House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) boldly pointed out a new development in the House’s investigation into President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, on Thursday. The younger Biden made a statement on Wednesday claiming that his father had no “financial” involvement in his business dealings, particularly those concerning foreign nations like China. Jordan wasted no time in emphasizing the significance of this new revelation, asserting that it contradicts the president’s previous claim of having no involvement whatsoever. The distinction between “no involvement” and “no financial involvement” is crucial, according to Jordan, and it sheds new light on the Biden family’s questionable business dealings.
During an appearance on Fox News’s America’s Newsroom, Jordan highlighted the shifting narrative surrounding the Biden family’s business affairs. Initially, Joe Biden adamantly denied any involvement in his son’s business ventures. However, this summer, during a deposition of one of Hunter Biden’s business partners, Devon Archer, the story changed to acknowledging some level of interaction, albeit claiming it was only casual and non-business-related. Now, with Hunter’s latest declaration, the narrative has evolved to suggest that the president had no financial stake in the dealings. Jordan aptly pointed out the conspicuous pattern of changing stories and emphasized the need to scrutinize Hunter Biden’s offerings to foreign business partners, which he asserted involved leveraging his father’s influence as the then-vice president.

Furthermore, Jordan and Rep. James Comer (R-KY) had issued a subpoena for Hunter Biden to appear before the House Oversight Committee for a deposition, only to face defiance from the president’s son. Instead of complying with the subpoena, Hunter opted to make a public statement in Washington, D.C., prompting the two Republican congressmen to take steps toward holding him in contempt. This blatant disregard for the congressional subpoena did not go unnoticed, as it drew criticism and was labeled as “political theater at its best” by former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker.
The House’s inquiry into Hunter Biden is a crucial component of the ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Biden. As the president voices his frustration with Republicans for allegedly overlooking important national issues such as the conflict in Ukraine, immigration, and the situation between Israel and Hamas, it is evident that the Biden family’s business dealings must not be swept under the rug. Chairman Jordan’s vigilant stance in shedding light on the discrepancies surrounding the Biden family’s business affairs underscores the need for accountability and transparency in the highest echelons of power.
