President Biden shot down a question Wednesday regarding his alleged role in his son Hunter Biden and brother James Biden’s foreign business dealings, calling the allegations “a bunch of lies.”
During a Wednesday press conference at The White House, New York Post reporter Steven Nelson asked Biden if he would explain to Americans ahead of a potential impeachment inquiry why he interacted with “so many” of his son and brother’s foreign business associates.
“I’m not going to comment. I did not and it’s just a bunch of lies,” Biden responded. “They’re lies. I did not. They’re lies.”
Recent polling from the Associated Press found that nearly 70% of Americans, including 40% of Democrats, believe Biden acted unethically or illegally when it came to his family’s business interests. House Republican leaders revealed they hope to hold a formal vote next week on a measure that would formally initiate an impeachment inquiry into the president.
