Republicans Make Misleading Claims About Biden Truck Payments to Hunter
-
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer mischaracterized $1,380 payments from Hunter Biden as shady business dealings, when they were actually repayments for a truck Joe Biden financed.
-
The payments occurred when Hunter was struggling financially due to addiction, and Joe Biden helped by putting the truck in his name.
-
When Hunter was able, he repaid his father and took over the payments. Comer omitted references to the truck in released records.
-
Republicans claim the records show Joe Biden benefited from family international business dealings, but have presented no compelling evidence to substantiate claims.
-
Hunter Biden has offered to testify publicly, but Republicans want closed-door testimony, which Democrats reject as risking distortion or selective leaking.
