During a press conference, President-elect Joe Biden said that his son’s business dealings had not come up while discussing his pick for attorney general.
A reporter asked Biden, “Has the issue of investigations with your son come up with your team and with candidates about (sic) attorney general?”
“No, no I guarantee you I’m going to do what I said,” Biden responded.
“The attorney general of the United States of America is not the president’s lawyer,” he explained. “I will appoint someone I expect to enforce the law as the law is written, not guided by me.”
Later, Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked the President-elect whether he believed previous stories regarding his son’s alleged laptop were the work of “Russian disinformation.”
“Yes, yes, yes. God love ya, man. You are a one-horse pony. I tell ya. Thank you. thank you,” Biden said. “I promise you my justice department will be totally on its own making its judgments about how to proceed.”
The laptop supposedly belonging to Hunter Biden containing emails revealing his foreign business dealings with Ukraine and China is now in the hands of the FBI.
John Ratcliffe, acting-Director of National Intelligence, has concurred with the FBI and Justice Department that the laptop is not part of a Russian disinformation campaign targeting Hunter Biden.
The New York Post was the first to obtain the emails in question and revealed that Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings shortly before he pressured government officials in Ukraine to fire prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was conducting an investigation into the company’s founder.
