White House: Evolving Rhetoric on Joe’s Involvement with Hunter Is Just ‘Semantic’ Game, But ‘Nothing Has Changed’
On Thursday’s broadcast of “CNN This Morning,” White House Spokesman for Oversight and Investigations Ian Sams responded to a question on Hunter Biden stating that President Joe Biden had no financial involvement in Hunter’s businesses and how that’s different from prior claims that the President didn’t talk about the business and wasn’t involved by stating that it’s one of the GOP’s “favorite little shiny objects is to try to take a semantic thing” and “nothing has changed. The President was not in business with his son, period.”
Co-host Phil Mattingly asked, “In the statement that Hunter Biden made yesterday, he said, ‘Let me state as clearly as I can. My father was not financially involved in my business –‘ he was unequivocal about that. But that is an evolution of where the President had been during the campaign, where the White House had been at the start of the administration, not involved financially in the business. It’s very different than never talked about the business, not been involved in the business at all. Was that an intentional point of clarity, do you think?”
Sams responded, “I actually dispute the whole premise of that question. It’s one of Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) favorite little shiny objects is to try to take a semantic thing and make an argument that is somehow far afield from what they’re actually focused on. We’ve been extremely clear, over and over again, for years, and nothing has changed. The President was not in business with his son, period. They’re trying to make up all sorts of allegations and make up lies about –.”
