The New York Times has doctored Hunter Biden's quote about his father being involved in his business dealings, as one does.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer got into a heated debate with reporters after Hunter Biden refused to attend a closed-door deposition to face questions over his business dealings, and whether his father Joe Biden was involved with them.
To which Comer shot back: "No, no, no, no. The checks. There's two checks to Joe Biden from his brother that the money to give Joe Biden was influence-peddling. One was through-no, you asked a question. No, no, listen."
Bank records released by Comer found that Biden received a $40,000 check in September 2017 after the Biden family received money from Chinese business associates.
The records show that Hunter Biden, his uncle James and his aunt Sara wired money through several accounts before Sara sent Biden a check as a "Loan repayment" less than a month after James Biden's business relationship with Hudson West III, Hunter's business venture with CEFC, began.
"Contrary to the assertions in your letter, there is no 'choice' for Mr. Biden to make; the subpoenas compel him to appear for a deposition on December 13. If Mr. Biden does not appear for his deposition on December 13, 2023, the Committees will initiate contempt of Congress proceedings," reads the letter, issued a week after his attorney, Abbe D. Lowell suggested that Hunter should instead be allowed to testify publicly.
In response, Comer said: "Hunter Biden is trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else," adding "Our lawfully issued subpoena to Hunter Biden requires him to appear for a deposition on December 13."
