Hunter Biden says Republicans ‘have weaponized my dad’s love for me’

Hunter Biden, President Biden’s son, accused GOP party leaders on Wednesday of weaponizing his father’s love for him to use it as “evidence of corrupt complicity,” amid their probe into the family’s financial dealings, according to a report.
The younger Biden told Axios that Republicans “weaponized my dad’s love for me, and turned his greatest strengths — his compassion, his empathy, his authenticity — into evidence of corrupt complicity.”
“They’ve made it really hard for people to square that circle, which is why the [former President Trump’s] cult is obsessed with me,” he added.
The president’s son made a brief appearance at the Capitol on Wednesday where he gave a public statement instead of appearing for a scheduled deposition following a subpoena from House Republicans.
Hunter Biden said he wanted to testify in a public setting, while Republicans sought a closed-door deposition as part of its investigation into the president. Part of their inquiry looked into his foreign business dealings and how the Biden family may have benefited as a result of the president’s status.
