The president’s son was adamant before lawmakers that his father «was never involved in any of my business» activities.
The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability on Thursday released the transcript of its closed-door meeting with Hunter Biden held the day before.
Hunter Biden’s deposition was part of the House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. The president is accused of being involved with and benefiting from his son Hunter’s foreign business dealings. The White House has repeatedly denied that Biden had anything to do with his son’s dealings.
During Wednesday’s closed-door meeting, the House Oversight and Judiciary committees interviewed Hunter on claims that his father personally benefited from and influenced his foreign business deals in China and Ukraine while Biden was vice president under the Obama administration.
Hunter said in his opening statement that he did not involve his father in his business, adding, «Not while I was a practicing lawyer, not in my investments or transactions, domestic or international, not as a board member, and not as an artist.
