Internet slams Joe Biden as he insists he 'did not interact' with Hunter and James' business partners

WASHINGTON, DC: President Biden refuted claims that he had contacts with business associates of his brother James Biden, and son Hunter Biden on Friday, March 1. Hunter confirmed to Congress this week that his father had attended two dinners in Washington, DC, while serving as vice president, with various foreign clients.

Amid the Republican-led impeachment investigation into suspected wrongdoing, the 81-year-old president slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson's claim that Biden is 'lying' about such meetings.

Joe Biden says he did not interact with his son and brother's business partners

As he left the White House grounds for Camp David on Wednesday after his son's testimony in the impeachment trial, Biden said to a reporter, "Tell him to read the record of every single witness. These guys have got to stop this stuff."

When asked if, as stated in his testimony, he had gone to lunches and dinners with his son's and brother's international business contacts, Biden angrily replied, "No."

Meanwhile, Johnson wrote on X with a link to an Oversight Committee rundown of alleged interactions, "Yet another lie from the President about his involvement in his family’s influence-peddling schemes. Here’s a reminder, Mr President."

Previously, on December 6, 2023, Biden asserted that “I did not” deal with his brother or son’s foreign partners, labeling the assertion as “lies” in response to an Associated Press survey indicating that 68 percent of Americans—including 40 percent of Democrats—thought he had engaged in unethical or illegal business dealings with his son.

Emails, witness accounts, and even pictures reveal that Joe Biden interacted with several US business partners in addition to his son's and brother's acquaintances from two distinct business transactions connected to the Chinese government, as well as others from Mexico, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine.

The 54-year-old Hunter verified on Wednesday that his father did interact with associates from Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine at two dinners in DC's Cafe Milano in 2014 and 2015.

Internet slams Joe Biden for his statement

Several internet users took a jibe at Joe Biden as he refuted the claims that he had contacts with business associates of his brother James Biden and son Hunter Biden.

A user posted on X, "Where there is smoke, there is always fire," while one added, "Oh, I guess he forgot about the money his brother gave him from China. Oops." A person also mentioned, "Biden is a liar."

A person further said, "Did you forget? He’s not fit to withstand trial. He can’t remember when or how his own son died," whereas one stated, "Really?" A person also mentioned, "Inist all you want Biden. Won't change the truth of you seeling access."
