GOP Highlights $1,380 Payment from Hunter Biden to Father, Claims Tied to Foreign Money; WH Says for Truck Loan
- Republicans released a document showing a payment from Hunter Biden's business to Joe Biden when he was a private citizen, but did not include evidence it was repaying a car loan
- The payment was $1,380 in September 2018, with at least 3 total monthly payments
- Hunter Biden was repaying Joe Biden for co-signing on a Ford Raptor, as Hunter's credit was low at the time
- House Oversight Chair James Comer claimed this was not a personal payment, but from an account tied to foreign payments
- The White House and Hunter Biden's lawyer said this was simply Joe Biden helping his son buy a truck, which Hunter later repaid
