On Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee held a hearing on “Influence Peddling: Examining Joe Biden’s Abuse of Public Office.” Although he had been invited to attend, and had even asked for a public hearing, Hunter Biden was a no-show. His lack of presence was noted throughout the hearing, including by key witness Tony Bobulinski, his former business partner. While Chairman James Comer (R-KY) decided to invite yet another Biden family member to come before the Committee at a future date, this time President Joe Biden himself.
To end the hearing, Comer summarized how Bobulinski and Jason Galanis, also a former business partner, had provided testimony “directly implicating President Biden and his family’s influence peddling schemes.”
Comer addressed how Joe Biden is the person left who can square away the discrepancies in Hunter’s testimony versus Bobulinski’s testimony and Galanis’ testimony, as he reminded the witnesses have not changed their testimonies.
Just as he had raised in his opening statement, Comer brought up how Biden is either “complicit or incompetent,” noting “the American people deserve to know which one it was but neither is acceptable for the leader of the United States.”
