'There's nothing to these claims'; John Kirby on Joe Biden's alleged corruption

President Joe Biden faces numerous claims of corruption and crimes in connection with his son Hunter Biden. A reporter asked John Kirby about it and he responded by saying that Biden has spoken on the issue and there is 'nothing to these claims.' The Committee on Oversight and Reform reported on investigations and placed a document on the House.gov website. Part of it said:

Evidence obtained by Committee on Oversight and Reform Republicans shows these assurances were false. President Joe Biden has participated in his family’s global business

ventures with America’s adversaries. He has misused his public positions to further his family’s financial interests. These actions have created the potential for President Biden to be susceptible to influence, blackmail, or extortion by a malign or foreign entity, including the Chinese Communist Party.

A review of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, as well as information from whistleblowers, reveals a decade-long pattern of influence peddling, national security risks, and political cover-ups. Biden family members used their connections with Joe Biden to enrich themselves through the expectation of access to Joe Biden and promises about what a future Biden Administration might do for them. There are numerous unanswered questions raised by these suspicious activities that warrant further investigation.

It then went into further detail and can be read in full here. This document was uploaded back on November 17, 2022. A string of suspicious payments has been linked to numerous Biden family members as well, all of which appears to be under investigation.

During this same press briefing, John Kirby announced more aid for Ukraine and denied Joe Biden's accuser, Tara Reade, was facing threats as she defected to Russia.
