President Biden on Monday denied lying about his son, Hunter Biden’s business deal conversations.
Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked the president, “Did you lie about never speaking with Hunter about his business deals?”
“No,” Biden replied flatly. Heinrich followed up by asking, “Did you ever speak with Hunter about his business deals?”
It was unclear if the president responded as another reporter shouted a question toward the commander in chief.
The exchange happened after Biden gave remarks at the White House kicking off the next phase of the administration’s Investing in America tour with a significant high-speed internet infrastructure announcement. The president already exited the stage and stopped to answer Heinrich’s question before continuing down the hallway.
This comes after the White House took heat over the weekend after Hunter Biden accompanied his father to Camp David amid bombshell whistleblower allegations of political corruption – along with the president’s son recently pleading guilty to federal tax charges and agreeing to plea deal on a felony gun charge.
The House Ways and Means Committee revealed Thursday its interview with an IRS whistleblower last month who shared a WhatsApp message from 2017 in which Hunter Biden allegedly told a Chinese business associate that he and his father would ensure “you will regret not following my direction.”
