Matt Gaetz questions FBI Director on Biden ‘shakedown’: ‘You lack curiosity’
Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz Questions FBI Director on Alleged Protection of the Bidens
During a hearing on Wednesday, Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz engaged in a fiery exchange with FBI Director Christopher Wray regarding the bureau’s handling of investigations into President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. Gaetz directly asked Wray if the FBI was protecting the Biden family.
“I’m sitting here with my father. I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge, that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here for the call with my father,” Gaetz said, quoting a WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to a Chinese businessman, as revealed by IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley in June. “Sounds like a shakedown, doesn’t it, director?”
Wray chose not to comment on the matter. It is worth noting that the FBI and Department of Justice have been conducting investigations into Hunter Biden since 2020, and he recently pleaded guilty to tax and gun charges.

“You seem rather uncurious about it. Almost suspiciously uncurious. Are you protecting the Bidens?” Gaetz pressed Wray.
“Absolutely not,” Wray responded.
Gaetz then pointed out the discrepancy in Wray’s answers.
“But you won’t answer the question of whether this was a shakedown, and everybody knows why you won’t answer it, because everybody knows that to the millions of people who will see this, they know it is, and your inability to acknowledge that is revealing about you.”
