What he’s saying: In his statement, Walker defended Hunter Biden’s character and insisted that Hunter always “made sure there was always a clear boundary between any business and his father,” according to the statement submitted to the record.
The big picture: House Republicans, led by Oversight Chair James Comer, have sought to tie the president to Hunter’s foreign business dealings.
- They have struggled to present substantial evidence that Biden broke the law or benefited financially from his son’s business dealings, even as they sought testimony from Biden family members and associates.
- Hunter Biden agreed to sit before lawmakers next month, after top House Republicans threatened to vote on holding him in contempt of Congress.
