In a remarkable turn of events, four-year-old Abigail Edan, an American whose parents were tragically killed by Hamas, was released partly due to her great aunt Elizabeth Naftali’s connections. Naftali, a substantial Democratic Party donor and purchaser of Hunter Biden’s artwork, was appointed by President Joe Biden to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad.
Hunter Biden, responding to a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee, has agreed to testify before Congress on December 13. His lawyer, Abbe Lowell, is pushing for a public congressional hearing, contrasting with Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer’s preference for a standard deposition. Comer has not ruled out a future public hearing.
“The Drill Down” hosts, Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers, delve into the legal strategies and setting for Hunter Biden’s testimony. They highlight two significant fallacies in the Biden defense: Joe Biden’s alleged financial gains from Hunter’s business deals and misunderstandings about U.S. bribery laws.
For a thorough investigation, the hosts recommend seven critical questions to ask Hunter Biden, tailored to uncover the extent of his overseas business dealings and possible influence trading involving his father, former Vice President Joe Biden:
1. “Have your father’s political roles influenced your international business opportunities?”
2. “Were foreign policy discussions with your father linked to financial interactions with you?”
3. “Explain why Rosemont Seneca, your firm, financed a private phone line for your father during his vice-presidential term.”
4. “You received $31 million from Chinese entities while your father was Vice President. Can you clarify what these entities received in return?”
5. “Identify Henry Zhao, Chairman Ye, and Che Feng, and their relevance to your dealings.”
6. “Regarding the ‘seed money’ from Mr. Ye, why was this money transferred to Biden family members, including your father?”
7. “Did discussions with your father or other officials occur concerning the CFIUS review of Bohai Harvest Rosemont?”
These questions aim to probe the intricacies of Hunter Biden’s foreign business ventures and any potential exploitation of his father’s vice-presidential position.
