Joe Biden sticking to claim he and Hunter Biden never talked about foreign business: Psaki

WASHINGTON — White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday that President Biden still maintains he never discussed overseas business deals with his son Hunter — despite significant and growing evidence to the contrary.
“The president has said that he never spoke with his son about his overseas business dealings. Is that still the case?” Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Psaki at her daily press briefing.
“Yes,” Psaki replied, tersely affirming that Biden stands by the 2019 claim that he’d “never spoken” with his son about “his overseas business dealings.”
The answer concluded an extended dialogue between Psaki and Doocy focused on new reporting from the Washington Post and New York Times that belatedly verified emails from a laptop that formerly belonged to Hunter Biden, which The Post first reported in October 2020.
The first son recently paid a tax bill of more than $1 million in a bid to avoid prosecution, the Times reported last month. The back taxes applied to a financial windfall he reaped from countries where his father held sway as vice president.
“A lot of stories about Hunter Biden are surfacing this week. So to ensure the independence of the investigation, would the president support the appointment of a special counsel?” Doocy asked.
