WASHINGTON — President Biden tried to laugh off a question Thursday about whether he will comply with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s request for his bank records ahead of a possible impeachment inquiry into his role in first son Hunter’s foreign business dealings.
“Hee-hee-hee,” the 80-year-old president chuckled during a gaggle with reporters at FEMA headquarters in Washington after discussing the impact of Tropical Storm Idalia on Florida and nearby states.
“Let’s talk about why I’m here,” Biden deflected.
Biden had answered without complaint several prior questions that were unrelated to the storm, including about Overdose Awareness Day, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s health and a potential partial government shutdown.
After declining to discuss his financial statements, Biden proceeded to answer yet another question unrelated to the storm, about Chinese President Xi Jinping’s possible attendance at the G20 summit next month in India.
Biden declined to answer the same question about his bank records as he left the White House East Room Monday following a civil-rights-focused event.
