Joe Biden denies Chinese money story that Hunter Biden confirmed: ‘That’s not true’

President Joe Biden denied allegations that members of his family received over $1 million from a Hunter Biden business associate with ties to China — even though the president’s son appeared to confirm it.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) revealed the new financial details last week after obtaining them through a subpoena of Hunter Biden associate Rob Walker’s bank records. Comer stated that “from 2015 through 2017, Biden family members and their companies received over $1.3 million in payments” from accounts tied to Walker.

When asked if he had any reaction to the allegations, Joe Biden denied them as false during a brief questioning on the South Lawn on Friday. However, Hunter Biden’s legal team had seemingly confirmed, and defended, the payments in a Thursday statement.

Hunter Biden’s spokesman stated, “Hunter received his portion of good faith seed funds, which he shared with his uncle James Biden and Hallie Biden, with whom he was involved with at the time and sharing expenses.”

Joe Biden claimed during a 2020 debate with then-President Donald Trump that Hunter Biden had not made any money from Chinese business deals, and the Biden White House stood by that claim.

It remains to be seen how the situation will develop, especially given the potential national security implications raised by House Oversight and Accountability Committee chairman Comer.
