Report: Hunter Biden Team Plans Offensive, to White House Dismay
Disagreement reportedly exists among those surrounding the Biden family about how to combat Republican investigations into the family business.
Kevin Morris, a Hollywood attorney who has been retained by Hunter Biden to “craft legal and media strategy,” reportedly believes the Biden family should take a more aggressive position against the GOP investigations by remaining in the public eye, along with suing conservative media networks and some Republicans for defamation concerning information discovered on the “Laptop from Hell.” Others in the Biden orbit believe the family should take a far less aggressive approach, staying out of the public view and allowing the White House and congressional Democrats to combat the investigations through public relations.
Morris has assembled a research team to compile opposition research against Hunter’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski and laptop repair man John Paul Mac Isaac, both of whom are likely to cooperate with the GOP’s probes into the Biden family business. According to the Washington Post’s Matt Viser and Michael Scherer, the team members include Chris Clark, a lawyer handling the Justice Department’s investigation into Hunter’s alleged gun and tax violations, and attorney Joshua A. Levy, who is heading up the Biden family’s defense against the GOP’s congressional investigation that seeks to reveal that Joe Biden is compromised by the family’s business schemes.
Disagreement reportedly exists between Morris and the White House about how the Biden family should combat the investigations into the family business. Morris, who gave Hunter $2 million to pay the IRS for delinquent taxes, wants Hunter to remain in the public eye by attending public events, such as the recent White House state dinner and public art exhibits. The Post reported those who agree with Morris’s strategy also want Hunter to play a public role in Joe Biden’s potential reelection campaign.
But not everyone agrees with Morris’s strategy. One Democrat who spoke with the Post under anonymity opposes the approach. “No one thinks this strategy of putting Hunter Biden front and center is smart,” the person said. “No one, including the White House, thinks this is a smart strategy.”
The White House also appears to be opposed to pushing Hunter further into the public eye. The White House has suggested it will not comply with many of the GOP’s subpoenas seeking information related to Hunter’s role in the Biden family business. It has also made the argument Hunter is a private citizen, one who is allowed to conduct his own business affairs in the art market without scrutiny.
Hunter’s recent public appearances at a New York City art gallery and White House state dinner have renewed public scrutiny surrounding his proximity to the president.
“Congressional Republicans’ politically motivated partisan attacks on the president and his family are rooted in nonsensical conspiracy theories and do nothing to address the real issues Americans care about,” White House spokesman Ian Sams told the Post.
GOP Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Rep. James Comer (R-KY) told Breitbart News on Saturday that Hunter’s ongoing publicly visible business in the unregulated art market is a national security threat, one that compromises the president.
