House Committee Investigating Hunter Biden Advisory Role

Earlier this week, I noted in a report how Hunter Biden was apparently sitting in on White House meetings after the debate.

The White House dismissed the meetings as speech prep for Joe.

Republicans, however, are not buying, now reportedly calling for an investigation into Hunter’s involvement.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) announced this week that his committee would investigate the matter.

Turner penned a letter to White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients to inform him of the inquiry.

He wrote, “According to news reporting, the President’s son’s sudden presence at official meetings has caused confusion for some White House staff, prompting a reaction of ‘What the hell is happening?'”

He added, “It is unclear what official meetings and phone calls Hunter Biden is participating in and in what capacity and whether these discussions include classified information.

“An immediate response is requested, please notify the Committee of the official meetings Hunter Biden is participating in, and if classified information is being disclosed now that Hunter Biden is allegedly taking meetings with the President.”

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had tried to cut this off at the pass earlier in the week during a press briefing.

She tried to explain Hunter sitting in, stating, “Hunter came back with him and walked with him into that meeting, that prep, that speech prep, and, you know, and he ended up spending time with his dad and his family that night.

“That is basically what happened.”

Republicans were objecting when this report first surfaced considering that Hunter Biden is being prosecuted by Biden’s DOJ, so any appearance of conflict of interest is not going to sit well with them right now.

We will wait for a response by the White House on this to see if anything more comes of it.
