Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman, after hearing Devon Archer’s testimony on Monday, made an absurd claim that Joe Biden did nothing wrong by communicating with his son Hunter’s foreign business associates.
Devon Archer, a longtime friend and former business associate of Hunter Biden, appeared before the House Oversight Committee to testify on matters related to the Biden Crime Family.
During his testimony, Archer revealed that Joe Biden engaged in over 20 phone calls with Hunter’s business associates while serving as vice president between 2009 and 2017.
Additionally, Archer stated that the “Biden brand” played a significant role in preventing the Ukrainian Natural Gas Company Burisma Holdings from going bankrupt.
Rep. Goldman, the only Democrat present at the congressional hearing on Monday, appeared flustered and stuttered as he stated that Joe Biden’s phone calls primarily revolved around small talk and pleasantries.
“It sounded like most of the time Biden didn’t even know who the people he was at dinner – he was just asked to say hello, and he would talk about the wea– he described what the weather was – how – what’s going on on your end – the witness was very consistent with that, none of those conversations ever had to do with any business dealings or transactions. They were purely what he called casual conversations,” said a visibly nervous and sweaty Dan Goldman to reporters.
Watch:
A recent IRS whistleblower brought to light a WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to a Chinese business associate, where he dropped his father’s name.
In that message, Hunter Biden demanded payment from Henry Zhao, a Chinese Communist Party official and director of Harvest Fund Management. Harvest Fund Management had previously invested in BHR Partners, a private investment fund founded in 2013 and co-owned by the Bank of China, which is connected to Hunter Biden’s firm.
Per the IRS whistleblower, the WhatsApp message sent by Hunter Biden to Henry Zhao in July 2017 is as follows:
“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”
Shortly after the exchange, Hunter Biden received a $5 million wire transfer from a Chinese firm.
