During Friday’s White House press conference, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was flooded with questions from the press pool over the recent Hunter Biden sweetheart plea deal, as well as IRS whistleblower statements made public on Thursday. These revealed that the IRS had been hindered in their investigation by the DOJ.
When asked if Biden, who invited his son to the State Dinner on Thursday evening with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, would have invited someone not related to himself if they had just reached a plea agreement with federal prosecutors, Jean-Pierre said, "I’m just not gonna get into family discussion, personal family discussion."
"That’s his son. It’s a — He’s a family member. It’s not uncommon for family members to attend events at the White House. We could look at past presidents, I’m sure you have. So that is not uncommon. As it relates to anything related to Hunter, I’m just not going to respond to it from here."
