'Nothing but Gaslighting': WH Press Secretary Slammed Following Question About Biden Family Payout

Share

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was pressed about a House Oversight report showing President Joe Biden’s family members received payments from a Chinese energy company.

On Wednesday, Fox News’ Peter Doocy said during a press briefing, “House Oversight says they’ve got bank records showing a Chinese energy company paying three Biden family members through a third party. What were they paid for?”

Jean-Pierre replied, “Look, I’m just not going to respond to that from here. Look, we have heard from House Republicans for years and years and years how — the inaccuracies and lies when it comes to this issue.”

She added, “And, I don’t even where to begin to even answer that question because, again, it’s been lies and lies and inaccuracy for the past couple of years and I’m just not going to get into it from here.”

Twitter users were quick to call Jean-Pierre out for her denial of the situation.

The Washington Examiner’s Jerry Dunleavy tweeted, “Hunter Biden’s legal team has publicly acknowledged that these payments happened. The denial by President Biden and this dodge by Karine are nothing but gaslighting.”

Do you think she is gaslighting the public?

President of Judicial Watch Tom Fitton wrote, “Hmm, so she has information about the Biden cash machine. Congress should question her, no?”

Podcast host Kyle Becker responded, “KJP insults White House reporters to their faces and they lick it up like kittens from a bowl of sour milk.”

One tweet argued it does not “matter what bullsh*t excuses they come up with for what they were paid for, everyone knows they were really paid to influence Joe Biden. Does anyone think all these companies that paid the Bidens didn’t get anything for their money? Really?”

Last week, financial records obtained by the House Oversight Committee showed Biden family members received more than $1 million in payments from Hunter Biden’s business accounts.

The accounts were reportedly related to his associate Rob Walker and their 2017 business activities in China.

Walker had working relationships with Hunter Biden, the president’s brother Jim, business associate James Gilliar and Tony Bobulinksi, per Fox News.

They worked together as part of Sinohawk Holdings, a venture designed to be a partnership with the energy firm in China CEFC.
