A friend of Hunter Biden's told Politico that some Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill were "betting on the political expediency of sacrificing Hunter," as the president's son prepares to be more aggressive in agreeing to testify before the House Oversight Committee.
Two Democrats on Capitol Hill told Politico that the politics regarding the president's son were "fixed," and that his new, offensive strategy would be "all risk, no reward," the outlet reported. Hunter Biden's team is worried about the lack of defense the president's son receives from fellow Democrats.
"Intentionally or not, they’re betting on the political expediency of sacrificing Hunter," a friend of Hunter's told the outlet.
"The greater good is served by accountability and vindication, and not by acquiescence to political prosecution and the effort to dehumanize him," they continued.
The outlet noted comments from Democratic Reps. Jerry Nadler and Jamie Raskin, who both said Hunter did a lot of "improper" and "unlawful" things. However, Raskin has also criticized GOP Rep. James Comer's investigation into Hunter.
A former Biden-Harris 2020 campaign aide told Politico that some White House staffers were "irritated" by Hunter Biden's plans to be more aggressive, "because he is not clearing the tactics and the strategy."
However, others close to the president believed the plan was long overdue.
