White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre did her best to avoid questions about Hunter Biden during a press conference on Wednesday. She said that “Hunter Biden is a private citizen, and this was a personal matter for him.” However, reporters were not satisfied with her lack of transparency.

When asked if President Biden had discussions of any kind with Hunter about his business dealings, Jean-Pierre refused to answer, stating that she has been asked this question multiple times and has nothing new to add. This lack of transparency is concerning as the American people deserve to know if their president has any conflicts of interest.
Q: Does Biden believe possessing a firearm illegally "should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law"?

Furthermore, when asked about Hunter Biden’s gun-related legal issues, Jean-Pierre once again skirted the question, stating that it was an independent matter overseen by the Department of Justice. However, as President Biden has spent most of his political career working on gun laws and gun reform, the American people deserve to know his stance on illegal firearm possession.
It is important to note that this is not the first time the White House has been accused of changing its language regarding the president’s interactions with his son over his son’s business deals. This lack of transparency and consistency is alarming and raises even more questions about the Biden family’s business dealings and potential conflicts of interest.
"The president has previously said that he has never discussed overseas business dealings with his son, but the White House now says that the president has never been in business with his son. Why the updated language?"

The American people deserve to know the truth about Hunter Biden’s business deals and the extent of President Biden’s involvement. It is time for the White House to stop dodging questions and be transparent with the American people. The American people deserve a president who puts their interests first, not their family’s.
