White House spokesperson speechless when asked if Biden is corrupt.

The White House has denied reports and polling that suggest President Joe Biden is corrupt. During a briefing, National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications, John Kirby, was asked about a Harvard-Harris poll that found 53% of Americans believe Biden “was involved with his son in an illegal influence peddling scheme.”

“53% of the public — including a fourth of Democrats — believe ‘Joe Biden was involved with his son in an illegal influence peddling scheme’. What do you say to the majority of Americans who believe that the President himself is corrupt?”

Kirby was taken aback by the question and responded that “there’s nothing to these claims.” He also mentioned that the President had interacted with associates from China, Mexico, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre appeared exasperated by the question, but her remark wasn’t listed on the official transcript.

Harvard Poll Shows Majority Believe Biden is Corrupt

The Harvard poll in question found that a majority of Americans “think Joe Biden was involved with his son in an illegal influence peddling scheme while he was Vice President.” Of that figure, about a quarter of Democratic voters also believe the same.

Despite accusations of profiting from his son Hunter’s overseas business deals in China, Ukraine, and other countries, the White House maintains that there is no evidence of corruption.

Press Briefing Ends Abruptly

After the question was asked, Jean-Pierre wrapped up the press briefing, telling Kirby and others: “Let’s go. Let’s go.” According to the White House official transcript, she thanked Kirby for his time and said they had spent about 40 minutes in the briefing.

While the White House denies any wrongdoing, the accusations of corruption continue to circulate.
