Fox News reported:
The first son testified that he “did not involve” his father in his businesses, while blasting House Republicans for having “hunted” him in a “partisan political pursuit” and impeachment inquiry against his father. He also said Republicans have no evidence against his father, the president, “because there isn’t any.”
A number of other witnesses who were former associates of the Bidens, however, have testified under oath that indeed, Joe Biden’s name was invoked and appearances by him were made ahead of or during business deals and that Hunter was “selling” his father’s political influence.
A source with direct knowledge of Hunter’s testimony told Fox News Digital that he “first made clear in his opening statement and emphasized throughout the deposition, Joe Biden was not involved in, did not benefit from, and took no official actions to benefit any of his business ventures.”
Regarding the infamous “10 held by H for the big guy?” email, Hunter claimed that his associate who sent the message, James Gilliar, was “out of his mind for even suggesting Joe Biden get involved in their joint venture.”
The message was sent to a business partner for Chinese energy firm CEFC, Fox News noted.
“Hunter discussed his addiction at length,” the source said, adding that Hunter “admitted that he was high or drunk when he sent the ‘sitting here with my father’ WhatsApp message, sent it to the wrong recipient, and is now embarrassed by the message.”
