The president claimed he never talked business with his son or his associates – despite, Hunter’s abandoned laptop and congressional testimony from Devon Archer saying otherwise.
Archer said that Joe Biden was present at two dinner meetings at Washington, D.C.’s Cafe Milano, along with Hunter’s business partners. A note found on the laptop from a Burisma executive thanking Hunter for introducing him to his dad at dinner.
Archer also testified that Joe Biden ‘had coffee’ with Jonathan Li, CEO of Chinese-backed BHR partners where Hunter owned a 10 percent stake.
Hunter Biden’s business dealings have been in the spotlight ever since the first report about the laptop he abandoned at a repair store came out one month ahead of the 2020 election.
In September former Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, saying the family had a ‘culture of corruption.’
Since then House Republicans have honed in on the family’s bank records and testimony of the business dealings.

He has not, however, linked any direct payment to Joe Biden. In uncovered text messages, however, Hunter complained about having to pay his father’s bills.
In another unearthed text message, Hunter told a Chinese business associate he was ‘sitting’ in a room with his father who ‘would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled,’ referring to a payment.
The poll was conducted online November 15-16 with 2,851 registered voters.
House Republicans are now closing in on on the Biden impeachment inquiry, with subpoenas fired off to Hunter and James and interview requests to around a dozen others.
They will then decide whether or not to move forward with a House vote on whether to impeach the president.
