Hunter Biden confirms father's involvement in China business deal under scrutiny
• Hunter Biden admitted his father Joe was "the big guy" referenced in an email about a $5M deal with a Chinese energy company that yielded millions for the Biden family.
• The email from May 2017 discussed Hunter potentially holding a 10% stake in the venture for "the big guy," which he now says referred to his father.
• Hunter rejected the idea that Joe Biden was ever actually slated to get 10% of the deal, saying his business partner was just having a "pie-in-the-sky idea."
• House Republicans described the China deal as "money laundering," pointing to a $40K check Joe Biden got from his brother James after a "complicated financial transaction."
• Hunter defended putting his dad on speakerphone with foreign associates over 20 times, calling it "totally normal for your parents to call you."
