A Tennessee senator on Wednesday blasted the Biden administration for President Joe Biden’s changing accounts of his involvement in his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
“The White House is now claiming that Hunter did not share his profits with Joe,” Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) captioned a post on X, formerly Twitter. “Biden keeps on changing the narrative to hide his corruption.”

“Well, the message keeps changing,” said Blackburn in a video attached to the post. “First, Biden didn’t know anything about his son’s businesses – never discussed them with him – and then the White House started saying, ‘Well [President Biden] was never in business with his son,’ and now what are they saying? That [President Biden] never shared the profits. Well, there’s a new take on this. Their story keeps on shifting. This is why we need to continue these investigations and find out exactly how Joe Biden was involved with Hunter Biden and Biden Incorporated.”
Thursday, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL-01) grilled Attorney General Merrick Garland on Hunter Biden’s business dealings related to artwork that he sold at a New York City gallery.
It was recently reported that while Joe Biden assured the public that there would be an “absolute wall” between his presidency and his family’s business dealings, that was not the case with the younger Biden’s artwork.
In fact, one of Hunter Biden’s paintings was sold to Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a Democrat mega-donor who also hosted a fundraiser for the party headlined by Vice President Kamala Harris.
Naftali was appointed to the board of the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad eight months after Hunter Biden’s first art opening.
Garland said the Department of Justice (DOJ) is not investigating.
More recently, a business associate of Hunter Biden’s named Devon Archer has shed light on the president’s involvement in Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings.
“I think that’s categorically false. I think that’s not factually right,” Archer told former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson, referring to President Biden’s claims that he had no knowledge of or engagement in Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
The Biden’s found themselves in hot water after it was revealed that Hunter Biden landed a cushy job on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
In a public speech in 2015, then-Vice President Joe Biden bragged that he threatened to withhold United States government aid to Ukraine unless a prosecutor named Viktor Shokin dropped an investigation into the energy company.
The younger Biden is also confirmed to have received millions of dollars from Chinese business associates between 2016 and 2019.
In October of 2020, during a presidential debate, Joe Biden claimed that he and his son had done nothing unethical.
“Nothing was unethical. Here’s what the deal. With regard to Ukraine. We had this whole question about whether or not, because he was on the board, I later learned of Burisma, a company that somehow, I had done something wrong, yet every single solitary person, when he was going through his impeachment, testifying under oath, who work for him, said I did my job impeccably,” he said at the tim. “I carried out U.S. policy, not one single solitary thing was out of line, not a single thing, number one.”
“My son has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are you talking about, China. I have not had… the only guy who made money from China is this guy [Trump].”
There is no evidence that the Trump family has benefitted financially from China.
