Biden Hits Back At Latest GOP Hunter Biden Memo In Press Scrum on White House Lawn

President Joe Biden pushed back on a new memo from House Republicans alleging indirect payments to members of Biden’s family from a Chinese company.

Republicans have been signaling for months that they plan to target President Joe Biden’s only surviving son Hunter, who has become the target of accusations related to material found on a laptop that was left at Delaware’s “The Mac Shop” and subsequently disseminated by allies of former President Donald Trump.

The latest from their effort is a memo that claims payments to Biden family members while Biden was VP could be linked to the Chinese government.

On Friday night, the president answered questions on this and other topics on the White House lawn, and pushed back on the GOP memo:
