You’ll just have to ask Hunter and not Joe
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to discuss a 2018 voicemail from President Biden that reportedly was recovered from a laptop that belonged to his son Hunter — further undermining Biden’s claim that he never discussed foreign business deals with his son.
“Why is there a voicemail of the president talking to his son about his overseas business dealings if the president has said he’s never spoken to his son about his overseas business dealings?” Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre at her regular briefing Tuesday.
Well, first I’ll say that what the president said stands. So if he — that’s what the president said, that is what stands,” Jean-Pierre replied.
He’s leaving a voicemail about a New York Times article concerning Hunter Biden’s business dealings and he says, ‘I think you’re clear,’ ” Doocy interjected. “How is that not him talking to his son about his overseas business dealings?”
“We’re not, from this podium — I’m not going to talk about alleged materials from the laptop,” Jean-Pierre replied.
“Are you disputing that this is the president’s voice on the voicemail?” Doocy pressed.
I am not going to talk about alleged materials from the laptop,” Jean-Pierre maintained. “Peter, I refer you to his son’s representatives.”
Later, Jean-Pierre was pressed by RealClearPolitics reporter Philip Wegmann about how the White House could refuse to even address questions about the first son’s dealings, since the president routinely says that he will “level” with the public.
We have all heard the president likes to say, ‘I will always level with you,’ ” Wegmann said. “Moments ago, though, you seemed to dismiss Peter’s question about his conversations with his son with regards to his business dealings. And I’m wondering how is that silence consistent with the president’s promise to always level with the American public?”
“At least according to the voicemail that’s been obtained by The Daily Mail and The Washington Examiner, it certainly seems like he was seeking to do exactly that: have a conversation about his business dealings,” Wegmann went on. “Is he leveling with the American public on this?”
So I hear your question, but what I can tell you from here, standing at this podium is that I cannot comment on any materials from the laptop and I would refer you to the representatives of Hunter Biden,” Jean-Pierre added.
The US attorney’s office in Delaware is investigating Hunter Biden’s finances and the first son recently cut the IRS a check for about $2 million in unpaid taxes, according to reports.
Emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop indicate that Joe Biden repeatedly met with his son’s business partners, including while still vice president when he attended a 2015 DC dinnerwith a group of his son’s associates from Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan.
