House investigators interview Hunter Biden art gallerist about ethics concerns
The Biden Administration Accused of Deceiving Public About Hunter Biden’s Art Ethics Agreement
The Biden administration may have misled the public regarding an ethics agreement concerning Hunter Biden’s art career, according to House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comers (R-KY).
The committee recently interviewed Georges Bergès, Hunter’s art gallerist, to inquire about the buyers of Hunter’s art and his relationship with the White House. Comer reveals that Bergès stated he never made any ethics agreement with the White House, contradicting the administration’s claim of such an agreement to prevent discussion of the sales.
“The Biden White House appears to have deceived the American people about facilitating an ethics agreement governing the sale of Hunter Biden’s art. Hunter Biden’s gallerist never had any communication with the White House about such an agreement to make sure there was any sort of ethics compliance at all, and he provided information to the committee revealing how Hunter Biden’s amateur art career is an ethics nightmare,” Comer said.
Bergès disclosed that Hunter was aware of the identities of individuals who purchased approximately 70% of the value of his art, including Democrat donors Kevin Morris and Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, according to Comer.
“The vast majority of Hunter Biden’s art has been purchased by Democrat donors, one of whom was appointed by President Biden to a prestigious commission after she purchased Hunter Biden’s art for tens of thousands of dollars shortly after Joe Biden’s inauguration. The White House has a lot of explaining to do about misleading the American people,” Comer said.
Naftali, who acquired one of Hunter Biden’s expensive artworks, was appointed by President Joe Biden to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad.

Morris, who previously assisted in paying Hunter’s unpaid taxes, reportedly purchased $875,000 worth of art from Hunter in January 2023.
“However, Kevin Morris only paid Mr. Bergès 40% commission of the $875,000 purchase, and Hunter Biden and Kevin Morris worked out the financial implications. Mr. Bergès admitted he has never done an art deal like that before,” House investigators noted.
According to Comer, Bergès was introduced to Hunter by Hollywood video producer Lanette Phillips, who has hosted fundraisers for President Joe Biden. Bergès also revealed that he had met with the president in person and over the phone and attended a wedding at the White House.
This interview is part of the House investigation into corruption and influence peddling within the Biden family.
How does the recent statement from Georges Bergès challenge the existence of the ethics agreement surrounding Hunter Biden’s art sales?
Comers stated.
The controversy surrounding Hunter Biden’s art career has been a topic of discussion since its inception. Critics argue that the high prices being paid for his artwork are a result of his connections to the White House, raising concerns about possible corruption and unethical practices.
To address these concerns and maintain transparency, the Biden administration announced that an ethics agreement had been established to ensure that the sales of Hunter’s art would be conducted in an ethical manner. This agreement was intended to prevent any potential conflicts of interest and to assure the public that the artwork was being priced and sold based on its artistic value rather than its connection to the Biden family.
However, the recent revelations from Georges Bergès, Hunter’s art gallerist, cast doubt on the existence of this ethics agreement. During his interview with the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, Bergès stated that he had never made any such agreement with the White House. This stark contradiction raises serious questions about the administration’s transparency and honesty with the American people.
Chairman Comers argues that this new information proves that the Biden administration has deceived the public regarding the existence of an ethics agreement. He asserts that without such an agreement in place, the sales of Hunter Biden’s artwork cannot be considered free from unethical practices and potential conflicts of interest.
Furthermore, Comers highlights the potential ethical nightmare that surrounds Hunter Biden’s amateur art career. The exorbitant prices being paid for his artwork, combined with his familial connections to the President, create an environment ripe for potential corruption and abuse of power.
The lack of clarity surrounding the ethics agreement and the relationship between Hunter Biden’s art sales and the White House only serve to fuel the speculation and skepticism surrounding this issue. It is crucial that the Biden administration addresses these concerns promptly and honestly to maintain the public’s trust.
Transparency and ethical conduct are fundamental pillars of any administration, and the Biden administration must do everything in its power to ensure that the sale of Hunter Biden’s art does not become a breeding ground for corruption or unethical behavior. Swift action and clear communication are needed to dispel any doubts and restore confidence in the ethical integrity of this administration.
As more information emerges and investigations are conducted, it is vital that the public continues to hold the Biden administration accountable for its actions. The truth must be uncovered, and any wrongdoing must be addressed and remedied accordingly.
In the midst of a polarized political landscape, it is imperative that government officials, regardless of party affiliation, prioritize transparency and integrity. The American people deserve to know that their elected leaders are acting in their best interest and upholding the highest ethical standards.
The accusations surrounding the ethics agreement for Hunter Biden’s art career are deeply concerning and require thorough investigation. It is the duty of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee and other relevant authorities to uncover the truth and provide the American people with the transparency and accountability they rightfully demand.
Only by addressing these concerns head-on can the Biden administration hope to regain the trust of the public and uphold the ethical values they purport to champion. The American people deserve nothing less.
