President Joe Biden clashed with Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy over recent heavy allegations involving his role in Hunter’s shady business dealings.
During an event in New Mexico, Doocy questioned Biden about claims made by Hunter Biden’s former business associate, Devon Archer, who testified that he witnessed the president speaking with potential clients during his time as vice president.
DOOCY CONFRONTS BIDEN:
“There's this testimony now where one of your son's former business associates is claiming that you were on speaker phone a lot talking business.”
BIDEN: “I never talked business…I knew you'd have a lousy question”

Doocy broached the subject, asking, “There’s this testimony now where one of your son’s former business associates is claiming that you were on speakerphone a lot with them talking business. What-”
Biden responded, “I never talked business with anybody, and I knew you’d have a lousy question.”
Doocy continued to press, asking, “What – why is that a lousy question?”
The president then claimed, “Because it’s not true,” before moving away from Doocy.
Biden has repeatedly claimed that he never discussed business matters with his son, something which he also discussed with Doocy in September 2019. However, when the House Oversight Committee suggested evidence of direct communication between Biden and Hunter’s foreign business associates, the White House appeared to shift its stance from “never discussed” to “never in business” with his son.
“Chairman James Comer today says that the Oversight Committee has evidence that the president in the past communicated directly with foreign business associates of his son Hunter Biden many times. Curious if the White House and the president still stand behind his comment that he’s never been involved and has never even spoken to his son about his business?” Fox News’ Gillian Turner asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in July.
“So, I’ve been asked this question a million times. The answer is not going to change. The answer remains the same. The president was never in business with his son. I just don’t have anything else to add,” Jean-Pierre insisted.
During his testimony, Archer highlighted the influence of Joe Biden’s brand during conversations with potential clients. He noted that having “the brand” of Joe Biden added significant value and differentiation to their business endeavors.
DOOCY: "I'm wondering if you have a comment…that your son Hunter just made you a grandfather again."
BIDEN: "No! That's a private matter. I have no comment. But only YOU would ask that. You're a good man…Classy!"
