'Criminal behavior': Internet mocks Jim Jordan for saying Biden had dinners and meetings with son Hunter
URBANA, OHIO: Rep Jim Jordan continued his attacks on President Joe Biden, accusing him of having a very close business relationship with his son, Hunter Biden.
Jordan's allegations come amid the President slamming the impeachment inquiries as a "bunch of lies."
Reacting to Biden's claims, the Republican lawmaker told Fox News, "We know he had dinners, phone calls, and meetings."
He cited Devon Archer, a former business associate of Hunter who already testified the same under oath, and Biden claiming that no business involvements took place "makes absolutely no sense."
Rep. Jim Jordan says Joe Biden has always had a VERY CLOSE business relationship with his son Hunter Biden:

Jim Jordan finds Joe Biden's lack of awareness about Hunter's deals 'ridiculous'
Jordan continues with the details from Archor's testimony contradicting the President's claims.
The Ohio lawmaker said that Archer testified that the head of Burisma, the energy company that Hunter sat on the board, asked Hunter to help them "weigh in with DC way in to take away the pressure" they are under from the prosecutor in Ukraine.
According to Jordan, Archer revealed that Hunter called in for the help of his father, President Biden.
Jordan continues with his accusations that the President flew to Ukraine three days later, and he pressured them, saying they would not get the needed money unless they fired the prosecutor applying the pressure.
"Now we have these emails where he is using a pseudonym talking to another business partner of Hunter Biden, in addition to the calls, the meetings, the dinners. And remember, Hunter Biden got on the plane, got on Air Force two, and flew to different locations where we think he conducted business. Jordan concludes that the president "has no idea about this is just ridiculous."
In the most recent update regarding the charges against Hunter Biden, he was indicted on December 7 in California on nine tax charges, which include multi-million dollar tax evasion.
