NEW YORK POST
Hunter Biden and his lawyers are still playing games about whether he will deign to comply with a congressional subpoena.
You would wish that Republicans were as ruthless about enforcing the rules as Democrats, but when faced with a 53-year-old man as entitled and spoiled as the president’s son, they are in new territory.
The contrast with the Trump family could not be more stark.
Unlike Hunter, who defied a House Oversight Committee subpoena to stage a press conference on Capitol Hill and later gate-crash a hearing, Don Trump Jr. testified five times for more than 40 hours to Democrat-led congressional committees without pulling any stupid stunts.
The then-first son complied with subpoenas from five committees, including the stacked J6 star chamber, and dishonest Adam Schiff’s House Intelligence Committee that was pushing the Russia hoax.
Stunts are all the Bidens and their defenders, like Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), have left to try to distract from damaging evidence piling up about President Biden’s corrupt involvement in his family’s foreign-influence-peddling scheme, which reaped millions of dollars from China, Russia, Ukraine and other corrupt countries.
The latest ruse from Raskin, the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, is to claim Biden’s sins are actually his predecessor’s, unveiling a mendacious “report” last week claiming that Trump corruptly raked in millions from foreign governments when he was president.
Merely rent payments
Eric Trump, the former president’s second son, who runs the family business with his brother, responded to Raskin’s claims with a scathing letter Wednesday, pointing out that most of the foreign money received by The Trump Organization during his father’s presidency was rent payments for a 20-year commercial-office lease that began in 2008 — “more than eight years prior to President Trump taking office.”
Apart from that, Eric says he signed a check every year to the US Treasury donating 100% of estimated profits from “foreign patronage” at their hotels.
“We donated every dollar of foreign profit,” he told The Post, adding that his father was “the first president to donate his salary while in office to various federal agencies.”
Eric contrasts his scrupulous accounting of foreign money with Biden family foreign enrichment for “providing no goods and services” and with the antics of “Gold Bar Menendez.” (Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez has been indicted on federal bribery charges and for acting as a foreign agent of the Egyptian government.)
“Hunter is selling finger paintings for hundreds of thousands apiece while we’re donating [millions] to the US Treasury.”
House Democrats released their “sham report” to take the focus off a mountain of evidence that has exploded the self-created myth of “honest Joe” Biden, the one-time “poorest man in Congress.”
In reality, Biden and his family have lived lives of immense privilege, cashing in on his power at the expense of America’s national security.
The evidence comes not just from Republican-led congressional investigations, but from two federal cases against Hunter brought by Delaware US Attorney David Weiss.
