White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki got a bit snippy Monday after Newsmax correspondent Emerald Robinson asked if Hunter Biden has sold his remaining stake in a Chinese private equity firm with ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
“I’d point you to his representatives on that,” Psaki said. Hunter “doesn’t work in the administration.” When Robinson tried to follow up, the flack got short, saying: “You should talk to his representatives. That remains his policy. He’s been working to wind that down.”
Huh? No, Hunter’s not part of Joe’s administration, but he is the prez’s son, and candidate Biden swore up and down the whole family would divest from all overseas business interests. In October 2019, for example, he vowed, “No one in my family . . . will, in fact, have any business relationship with anyone that relates to a foreign corporation or a foreign country.”
That Hunter Biden’s company (Skaneateles LLC) still owns 10 percent of BHR Partners, which is controlled by the state-run Bank of China, is a clear violation of what the White House says are the rules for Biden’s family.
Psaki’s refusal to answer a simple yes-or-no question on that issue is proof that the president can’t, or won’t, make his son follow his own rules on ethics.
