White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was repeatedly asked and refused to answer questions Tuesday about Hunter Biden’s so called ‘laptop from hell’ and a voicemail on his phone left by Joe Biden seemingly discussing business dealings.
Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy grilled Jean-Pierre regarding the ongoing saga, which has flared up again since the discovery of a 2018 recording on the laptop which purports to feature Joe Biden discussing his son’s business dealings in China.
“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?” Doocy asked.
“First, I’ll say that what the president said stands, so if that’s what the president said that is what stands,” Jean-Pierre responded.
Doocy continued, “He left a voicemail about a New York Times article concerning Hunter Biden’s business dealings and says, ‘I think you’re clear.’ How is that him not talking to his son about his overseas business dealings?”
“I am not going to talk about alleged materials on the laptop,” the Press Secretary repeatedly responded, adding “It is not happening.”
Watch:
RealClearPolitics White House reporter Phillip Wegmann followed up on the matter, noting “You seemed to dismiss Peter’s question about his conversation with his son, Hunter Biden, with regards to his business dealings.”
The reporter continued, “I’m wondering how is that silence consistent with the president’s promise to always level with the American public, because in public he says he hasn’t discussed these business dealings and then at least according to the voicemail that has been obtained by the Daily Mail and Washington Examiner, it certainly seems like he was seeking to do exactly that, have a conversation about these business dealings. Is he leveling with the American public on this?”
Jean-Pierre agains refused to talk about the issue:
Reports by the Senate Finance Committee and Senate Homeland Security Committee have revealed that CEFC China Energy wired around $4.8 million to Hunter Biden’s law firm through September 2018.
The voicemail in question appears to be Joe Biden telling his son “Hey pal, it’s Dad. It’s 8:15 on Wednesday night. If you get a chance, just give me a call. Nothing urgent. I just wanted to talk with you.”
It continues, “I thought the article released online — it’s going to be printed tomorrow in the Times — was good. I think you’re clear. And anyway, if you get a chance, give me a call. I love you.”
Biden wasn’t serving in public office at the time the audio was purportedly recorded.
