Fox News’ Jonathan Turley Hypes Hunter Biden’s Car Payment as Evidence of Unprecedented Corruption: ‘None of Us Have Seen the Likes of This’
Fox News contributor and legal commentator Jonathan Turley hyped the new finding by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) on Monday, even though the allegations attached to the new information were debunked shortly after he made them.
Comer released documents showing that President Joe Biden had received payments from a company operated by his son Hunter Biden. The finding initially seemed damning, considering the elder Biden’s claim that he had “never” talked business with his family.
But as a number of journalists quickly pointed out on X, it appears that Hunter Biden was simply paying his father back for temporarily covering his truck payments with three installments of $1,380, rather than for services rendered as part of an influence-peddling scandal.
So, these three payments of $1,380 each (totaling $4,140) appear to be Hunter Biden paying his dad back for truck loan/lease payments that his dad paid on his son’s behalf when Hunter was low on cash.

Turley nevertheless seemed convinced that this could be the final nail in Biden’s presidential coffin during an appearance on America Reports.
“When I testified in the first Biden impeachment hearing, I said that there was ample evidence to justify an impeachment inquiry and that a formal vote should be held. I can’t imagine how anyone would look at this evidence and not believe that a formal inquiry should begin,” began Turley.
He continued:
There’s been a litany of lies that have come out of the Biden family and the White House. The president denied knowing about any of these business arrangements. Even Hunter said that wasn’t true. We now know he called in numerous times to talk with clients. He had meetings, photographs with these clients. And now we see joint accounts where money is moving to Joe Biden.
We even have Joe Biden’s house being listed for some of these payments by Hunter Biden. It’s rather daunting to imagine what you need, according to the Democrats. So I think the moment of truth has arrived. Democrats have either got to show that they stand against corruption and approve an inquiry or they have to take ownership of this. because influence peddling is the favorite form of corruption in Washington. But none of us have seen the likes of this.
