Joseph Edgar Foreman, also known as Afroman, released a new version of his 2000 hit &#8220;Because I Got High&#8221; late last week that goes after President Joe Biden&#8217;s son, Hunter Biden.
The original version of the song is about someone who neglects their responsibilities and loses opportunities in life because they decided to get high smoking marijuana.
Afroman&#8217;s new song is titled, &#8220;Hunter Got High&#8221;, which takes jabs at the president&#8217;s son&#8217;s conduct and his well-documented drug problems.
The following are the lyrics to the song:
<blockquote>Shout out to Baste Records &#8230; 
Hey Hunter! Roll another one of those congressional blunts brotha … 
He was gonna get his laptop fixed, but Hunter got high 
He wasn’t gonna show all them d**k pics, but Hunter got high 
He shoulda let Hillary bleach his whole hard drive 
Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high
He wasn’t gonna mess with the hoes, but Hunter got high 
He was gonna take em all out on a boat, but Hunter got high 
He’s the smartest man that Joe’s ever knew in his life 
Till Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high
He was gonna go visit his dad, but Hunter got high 
He thought he had a secret stash, but Hunter got high 
The White House got shut down and we all know why 
Hunter got High, Hunter got High, Hunter got High
He never could paint worth a f**k, Hunter got high 
Now he gets, a half a mill and up, damn that’s high 
Biden never use to start with B-U-Y 
Till Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high
Ukraine wasn’t part of the plan, till Hunter got high 
China wasn’t that big of a fan, till Hunter got high 
He wasn’t gonna split it all, with the old big guy 
Till Hunter got high, till Hunter got high, Hunter got high
He wasn’t gonna go to court, but Hunter got high 
He’d never been indicted before, but Hunter got high 
His attorney’s out smokin a bowl, and we all know why 
Cause Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high
He was making 80G’s a month, but Hunter got high 
On a job brotha ain’t never done, Hunter got high 
He got more LLC’s than John Gotti’s ex-wife 
Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high
His cousin was never a pimp, till Hunter got high 
He had the best friends money could rent, but Hunter got high 
Just imagine if he wasn’t rich, and so damn white 
The cops would raid his house, eat his lemon pound cake, disconnect his cameras and steal his money</blockquote>

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a>, the indicted son of President Joe Biden, is threatening <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fox-news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> with a defamation lawsuit unless the cable network bends to demands from his lawyers over unflattering content about his personal life and business dealings, including content from a laptop that he purportedly abandoned at a repair shop.
A letter sent last Tuesday warned of &#8220;imminent&#8221; litigation over an alleged &#8220;conspiracy and subsequent actions to defame Mr. Biden and paint him in a false light, the unlicensed commercial exploitation of his image, name, and likeness, and the unlawful publication of hacked intimate images of him,&#8221; <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/lawyers-hunter-biden-plan-sue-fox-news-rcna149707" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to NBC News</a>.
Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/04/29/hunter-biden-fox-news-lawsuit-strategy-defamation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> the attorneys requested hosts including Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters, and Maria Bartiromo preserve records, called for the removal of the <a href="https://nation.foxnews.com/the-trial-of-hunter-biden-nation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox Nation mock trial</a> for Hunter Biden, and an update on the indictment of a longtime FBI informant <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-informant-accused-of-lying-about-bidens-claimed-to-have-russian-intel-contacts-doj" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused</a> of fabricating a multi-million dollar bribery scheme involving the Bidens.
News reports about the letter on Monday relayed that Fox News had not responded despite a stated deadline for a response by Friday evening on April 26. However, there was no indication that Hunter Biden&#8217;s legal team had filed suit yet. Fox News issued a statement to reporters the following day.
&#8220;Hunter Biden’s lawyers have belatedly chosen to publicly attack Fox News’ constitutionally protected coverage regarding their client. Mr. Biden is a public figure who has been the subject of investigations by both the Department of Justice and Congress, has been indicted by two different US Attorney’s Offices in California and Delaware, and has admitted to multiple incidents of wrongdoing,&#8221; a spokesperson said. &#8220;Consistent with the First Amendment, Fox News has accurately covered these highly publicized events as well as the subsequent indictment of an FBI informant who was the source of certain claims made about Mr. Biden.&#8221;
Lawyers for Hunter Biden have initiated litigation against others, including a case against a former Trump White House aide <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-sues-former-trump-wh-staffer-over-infamous-laptop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over claims</a> he violated state and federal law with the publication of photos and emails from the infamous laptop linked to the younger Biden. The defendant, Garrett Ziegler, asked a federal judge to dismiss the suit.
The Fox News lawsuit comes after the network agreed last year to pay nearly $800 million to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fox-settles-landmark-defamation-suit-sparing-murdoch-from-witness-stand" target="_blank" rel="noopener">settle</a> a defamation case brought by Dominion Voting Systems stemming from the 2020 election. There is a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/24/media/fox-corporation-smartmatic/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$2.7 billion defamation lawsuit</a> from voting technology company Smartmatic, which Fox News is fighting back against with counterclaims.
Hunter Biden is facing a pair of federal indictments. He has pleaded not guilty to gun and tax charges. Trials are set to begin later this year <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/03/14/hunter-biden-trial-date/72957737007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in June</a>. The first son has also participated in a closed-door deposition from the House&#8217;s corruption-focused impeachment inquiry into President Biden.

Hunter Biden Threatens Defamation Lawsuit Against Fox News

Media

U.S.

A 25-year NPR veteran wrote a scathing op-ed saying that his network had &#8220;lost its way,&#8221; pointing to various examples, including coverage of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender issues</a> and the refusal to use terms like &#8220;biological sex.”
In <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/npr-editor-how-npr-lost-americas-trust?utm_source=direct&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;fbclid=IwAR2BI7aGsLrw5JzADcxw-Ddx9IFpaQzQxVieieHiYiYvBozjQ3W_q8XSMoY_aem_Afb8djuPsGMotINI-8VtH0_ouA2n_5T1rMS3kvz8x_-AGiNOlKuozOh6WEdCnd1xeok&amp;triedRedirect=true">The Free Press</a> article titled, &#8220;I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust,&#8221; NPR Senior Business Editor Uri Berliner wrote that &#8220;an open-minded, curious culture prevailed,&#8221; previously — but said that had all changed and now &#8220;we don&#8217;t have an audience that reflects America.&#8221; The biggest problem he has seen at NPR is the lack of &#8220;viewpoint diversity.&#8221;
 &#8220;It&#8217;s frictionless — one story after another about instances of supposed racism, transphobia, signs of the climate apocalypse, Israel doing something bad, and the dire threat of Republican policies,&#8221; Berliner said, adding that all appeared to be covered and framed in the same fashion. After George Floyd&#8217;s death, he said the message came down from the top of the network, &#8220;America&#8217;s infestation with systemic racism was declared loud and clear: it was a given.&#8221;
&#8220;In a document called NPR Transgender Coverage Guidance—disseminated by news management—we&#8217;re asked to avoid the term biological sex. (The editorial guidance was prepared with the help of a former staffer of the National Center for Transgender Equality.),&#8221; Berliner wrote. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
“We could face up to where we’ve gone wrong. News organizations don’t go in for that kind of reckoning.

&#8220;The mindset animates bizarre stories—on how <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/12/21/1066022789/beatles-get-back-band-guys">The Beatles</a> and <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/06/05/1002944505/monuments-and-teams-have-changed-names-as-america-reckons-with-racism-birds-are-">bird names</a> are racially problematic, and others that are alarmingly divisive; <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2020/08/27/906642178/one-authors-argument-in-defense-of-looting">justifying looting</a>, with claims that fears about <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/11/08/1134550280/stories-about-crime-are-rife-with-misinformation-and-racism-critics-say">crime are racist</a>; and suggesting that Asian Americans who oppose affirmative action have been <a href="https://www.npr.org/2023/07/02/1183981097/affirmative-action-asian-americans-poc">manipulated by</a> white conservatives,&#8221; he added.
&#8220;More recently, we have approached the Israel-Hamas war and its spillover onto streets and campuses through the &#8216;intersectional&#8217; lens that has jumped from the faculty lounge to newsrooms,&#8221; the NPR veteran continued. &#8220;That&#8217;s meant highlighting the suffering of Palestinians at almost every turn while downplaying the atrocities of October 7, overlooking how Hamas intentionally puts Palestinian civilians in peril, and giving little weight to the explosion of antisemitic hate around the world.&#8221;
He pointed to NPR&#8217;s wall-to-wall coverage coverage during former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/why-im-giving-money-to-donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump’</a>s presidency of the now-debunked Russiagate. The editor said that the network&#8217;s response when the story fell apart was to pretend it never happened and to offer no &#8220;mea culpas, no self-reflection&#8221; even though they perpetuate the culture that &#8220;shatters trust and engenders cynicism about the media.&#8221;
Berliner wrote that NPR also &#8220;turned a blind eye” during the 2020 election to President Joe Biden’s son, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-called-father-from-lavish-russian-party-asked-for-help-getting-deal-over-the-finish-line-ex-associate-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden&#8217;</a>s laptop, which he argued was newsworthy. &#8220;Its contents revealed his connection to the corrupt world of multimillion-dollar influence peddling and its possible implications for his father.&#8221;
He also looked critically at the network&#8217;s coverage of COVID-19 and said that its utter failure to consider anything other than the prevailing narrative — that the virus had to have come from nature — and its choice to completely ignore the “lab leak theory&#8221; was just another example of how the network had &#8220;lost its way.&#8221;

White House visitor logs showed that an attorney for Hunter Biden met with one of First Lady Jill Biden&#8217;s top aides as well as President Joe Biden himself days before the president&#8217;s son defied a congressional subpoena, the New York Post (NYP) <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/06/us-news/white-house-meets-with-hunter-bidens-legal-team-visitor-logs/">reported</a> Saturday.
Hunter&#8217;s attorney Abbe Lowell had a meeting with Anthony Bernal, who has been an aide for Jill since 2008, in the East Wing of the White House on December 11, 2023, according to the NYP. Visitor logs also showed that Lowell met with Joe Biden, but the Post noted that meeting was most likely in the context of an official Hanukkah reception held the same day.
“We’ve called on the White House to provide information about whether President Biden sought to influence or obstruct our investigation by preventing, discouraging, or dissuading his son from complying with the subpoenas for a deposition as part of the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry, but the White House has refused to provide any information,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) told the Post.
&#8220;The White House must provide the public with information about the contents of this meeting in order to provide transparency to the American people,&#8221; he added.
Two days after Lowell visited the White House, Hunter skipped his scheduled deposition with congressional investigators regarding the corruption-focused <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> inquiry into the president. The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-oversight-subpoenas-hunter-biden-presidents-brother-and-ex-business-associate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">president’s brother, James Biden</a>, as well as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-issue-subpoenas-over-hunter-biden-art-sales" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden’s art dealer</a> and business associates, had also received congressional subpoenas.
Hunter did <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-shows-up-to-capitol-defies-subpoena-for-house-deposition">show up</a> on Capitol Hill the day he was supposed to sit down for the deposition, but instead of meeting with investigators, he held an impromptu press conference, <a href="https://twitter.com/greg_price11/status/1734948300485243130" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denying</a> that his father was “financially involved” in his business affairs, including in dealings abroad with people from China and Ukraine, as well as his investments domestically and work as an artist.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre later <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4358693-white-house-president-familiar-with-what-hunter-biden-planned-to-say/">remarked</a> that Joe Biden was &#8220;familiar&#8221; with what Hunter planned to say at the press conference.
Under threat of being held in contempt of Congress by House Republicans, Hunter finally agreed to sit down for a deposition in late February. In the transcript for the deposition, Hunter <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-confirms-joe-biden-was-the-big-guy-referenced-in-message-about-chinese-business-deal">confirmed</a> that his father was, in fact, the &#8220;big guy&#8221; referenced in a message related to a proposed business deal with a Chinese company.
Hunter <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-refuses-public-hearing-comer-says-panel-called-his-bluff">declined</a> an invitation in March to testify in a public hearing before the Oversight Committee, with Lowell citing a scheduling conflict.

“We’ve proven the crimes. Now it’s time to hold people accountable for the crimes and Joe Biden needs to answer some questions in front of the Oversight Committee,&#8221; Comer <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/03/us-news/james-comer-claims-republicans-have-proven-the-crimes-against-bidens/">told</a> Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo during a Wednesday interview. &#8220;We’ve had three Biden associates that said [President Biden] was the closer of … selling the Biden brand.&#8221;
Comer and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/04/us-news/house-republicans-discreetly-subpoena-devon-archer/">subpoenaed</a> Devon Archer, one of Hunter&#8217;s former business associates, on Thursday to hand over documents that had originally been requested in August 2023 related to Biden family business dealings.

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/matt-gaetz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Gaetz</a> (R-FL) is pushing for the House to get involved in a lawsuit filed by first son <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a>&#8216;s lawyers <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-sues-irs-over-whistleblower-leaks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">against</a> the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) over <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/whistleblower" target="_blank" rel="noopener">whistleblower</a> disclosures.
A <a href="https://gaetz.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/gaetz.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/Johnson%20IRS%20letter%20FINAL.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> Gaetz sent on Wednesday urges Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) to task the House Office of General Counsel to intervene in the case to defend the IRS agents who raised concerns about the federal inquiry into Biden.
&#8220;Due to federal law, this is the only available action of Hunter Biden and the Democrats to silence the I.R.S. whistleblowers who have so bravely come forward with details of Hunter Biden’s tax fraud,&#8221; Gaetz wrote.
&#8220;The interests of the House of Representatives and the legal rights of our whistleblowers are not being zealously defended by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), who is defending the lawsuit on behalf of the I.R.S.,&#8221; he added.
Biden&#8217;s lawsuit, filed in September, accused IRS investigators <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ex-fbi-agent-says-irs-whistleblower-was-right-bidens-were-tipped-off-during-investigation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler</a> of working to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/hunter-biden-files-lawsuit-irs-alleging-unlawful-release-tax-informati-rcna105557" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;embarrass and inflict harm&#8221;</a> on him with the disclosure of confidential taxpayer information and violating the law.
ABC News <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/doj-moves-dismiss-lawsuit-filed-hunter-biden-irs/story?id=106425515" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> in January the Justice Department moved to dismiss the case. Shapley&#8217;s legal team <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/hunter-biden-sues-irs-whistleblowers-criticized-doj-probe/story?id=102112021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denied</a> improper disclosures beyond what is allowed in statutes governing whistleblowers.
&#8220;We should be doing everything we can to protect these brave whistleblowers,&#8221; Gaetz said in his letter to Johnson. He cited <a href="https://cha.house.gov/_cache/files/5/3/5361f9f8-24bc-4fbc-ac97-3d79fd689602/1F09ADA16E45C9E7B67F147DCF176D95.118-rules-01102023.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House rules</a> and <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/2/5571" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. Code</a> concerning the House Office of General Counsel getting involved in litigation.

Gaetz requested the speaker &#8220;task the House Office of General Counsel with moving to intervene in Biden v. IRS to protect the prerogatives of the House of Representatives and to protect the rights of all Americans to make protected disclosures to Congress.&#8221;
Attached to his letter, Gaetz said, was the complaint filed by Biden, as well as the partial motion to dismiss of the DOJ.
&#8220;A cursory read of these materials should make clear to the House Office of General Counsel that the rights of the House are implicated in this case and not being adequately represented to the Court by the DOJ,&#8221; Gaetz said.
&#8220;To give but [one] example among many: the complaint takes an extremely narrow read of Internal Revenue Code § 6103’s whistleblower provisions, a read which DOJ does not contest,&#8221; he added.
&#8220;The House clearly has an interest in the broadest possible read of the subject matter that an individual may properly disclose to committees of Congress,&#8221; Gaetz concluded.
Biden is facing criminal indictments that branched out of the investigation led by special counsel David Weiss rocked by the whistleblower allegations last year. He has pleaded not guilty to federal gun and tax charges.
The first son also participated in a closed-door <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/comer-eyes-public-hearing-with-hunter-biden-to-address-discrepancies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deposition</a> with House investigators last month as part of an impeachment inquiry into his father, President Joe Biden, but <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/impeachment-witness-tony-bobulinski-claims-hunter-and-james-biden-perjured-themselves" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declined to show up</a> for a public hearing last week.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) sparred with Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) over her recent comment claiming that RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) was in itself &#8220;not a crime.&#8221;
Ocasio-Cortez made the initial statement during a Wednesday hearing before the House Oversight Committee regarding the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. She was attempting to argue the witness — former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski — into a corner by challenging him to name what specific crimes under the RICO umbrella he believed had been committed.
Frustrated by his unwillingness to simply concede her point, Ocasio-Cortez insisted that RICO was a &#8220;CAT-E-GOR-Y&#8221; of crimes rather than a specific crime.

And while some responded on X to say that Ocasio-Cortez was correct in her assessment, Cruz was not one of them.
&#8220;This is bizarre. RICO — the Racketeer Influenced &amp; Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961–1968—is most assuredly a crime. It often results in massive felony sentences. And yet @aoc — eager to defend Joe Biden — insists it’s not a crime,&#8221; Cruz posted.

&#8220;Wrong! RICO is a statute under which specific crimes may be considered — kidnapping, robbery, arson, etc. You need to name the crimes in order to substantiate RICO.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) brought his Halloween costume A-game to Wednesday morning&#8217;s House Oversight Committee hearing on President Joe Biden&#8217;s family and their business dealings.
The Florida congressman made his entrance wearing a rubber mask made to look like Russian President Vladimir Putin in an apparent nod to his party&#8217;s repeated insistence that Republicans  are spreading Russian disinformation to hurt Biden and help former President Donald Trump.
&#8220;As he arrives at House Oversight Committee’s latest hearing into Hunter Biden, Rep Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) wears Putin mask Democrats have accused GOP of perpetuating Russian disinformation,&#8221; CBS congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane captioned a photo of Moskowitz on X.

Moskowitz disappeared through the door, taking off the mask as he walked away, and did not answer when one reporter asked whether such behavior was &#8220;kind of immature.&#8221;
Democrats and media pundits have been working overtime in recent weeks to keep Russia in the headlines, claiming that a victory for Donald Trump in the 2024 election would play into Putin&#8217;s hands.
What they typically leave out is that fact that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/putin-on-who-he-wants-to-be-the-next-u-s-president-biden-typical-predictable-politician" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Putin is on record</a> as saying that he would have preferred former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to win the presidency in 2016 and would prefer to see President Joe Biden win reelection in 2024.
&#8220;He is a more experienced, predictable person, a politician of the old school,&#8221; Putin said of Biden. &#8220;But we will work with any U.S. president who the American people have confidence in.&#8221;

Two Democrat impeachment stars lashed out at former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski during a Wednesday hearing, interrupting Bobulinski and complaining to the committee chair because he had accused them of lying.
Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who led the second impeachment against former President Donald Trump — and Dan Goldman (D-NY), who led the first — objected to Bobulinski&#8217;s opening statement, during which he called both of them liars.
Bobulinski – who also claimed during Wednesday&#8217;s hearing that Hunter Biden had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/impeachment-witness-tony-bobulinski-claims-hunter-and-james-biden-perjured-themselves" target="_blank" rel="noopener">perjured himself</a> during his own testimony before Congress — said that Reps. Goldman and Raskin had both lied to protect President Joe Biden and predicted that they would continue to do so after the hearing was over.

&#8220;The same people preaching this mantra know better. They continue to lie directly to the American people without hesitation and remorse,&#8221; Bobulinski began. &#8220;Reps. Dan Goldman and Jamie Raskin, both lawyers, and Mr. Goldman a former prosecutor with the SDNY in New York, will continue to lie today in this hearing and go straight to the media to tell more lies.&#8221;
&#8220;Hunter Biden&#8217;s defense attorney Abbe Lowell weaponizes letters to Congress to try to smear my name —&#8221; Bobulinski continued, but he was interrupted.
&#8220;Mr. Chairman,&#8221; Raskin cut in, but Bobulinski continued.
The former Biden associate referenced his personal history in the U.S. Navy, but paused when he saw committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) speaking to Raskin.
&#8220;Am I supposed to say it&#8217;s my time, Mr. Raskin?&#8221; Bobulinski asked, jabbing at the members who had interrupted him with the same line.

Comer apologized for the interruption and told Bobulinski to carry on with his opening statement, but Raskin was not finished.
&#8220;Mr. Chairman, save his time, but he called members of this committee liars,&#8221; Raskin complained. &#8220;And I just want to know whether the order and decorum requirements of House Rule 11 apply to witnesses before the committee. Does it apply or does it not?&#8221;
Comer, after a brief conference off-mic, replied that there were rules of decorum for the committee members but no language he knew of that applied the same rules to witnesses. Raskin did not appear to be thrilled with the ruling, but did not interrupt again.
Goldman also responded to Bobulinski&#8217;s comments, saying, &#8220;We have a very important hearing here, and we don&#8217;t have time for stunts.&#8221;
Later in the hearing, Goldman got into another testy exchange with Bobulinski, asserting that he had been the one who wanted Joe Biden involved and claiming that Hunter Biden had dumped him as a business partner because of that.

An impeachment witness claimed on Wednesday that President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>&#8216;s son Hunter Biden and brother Jim Biden perjured themselves during transcribed interviews before Congress.
Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate of the Biden family, spoke about the alleged lies in his <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Bobulinski-Written-Statement.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">written statement</a> and opening remarks for an impeachment hearing on Capitol Hill.
The claims focused on what the Biden family members told the House Oversight Committee in depositions this month about dealings with a Chinese Communist Party-linked energy company.

Hunter Biden, he said, &#8220;lied to the Committee about important details concerning his money demands and threats to CEFC on July 30 and July 31, 2017.&#8221;
The witness said Hunter Biden &#8220;leveraged&#8221; his father&#8217;s presence to &#8220;strong-arm CEFC&#8221; leading to a $5 million wire transfer to a company of which the first son owned 50%.
&#8220;It&#8217;s important to remember that CEFC considered this money an interest-free loan to the &#8216;Biden family&#8217; and planned to send more. I have the email from CEFC to prove it,&#8221; Bobulinski said.
Bobulinski said Jim Biden &#8220;lied extensively&#8221; during his own transcribed interview and Hunter Biden &#8220;confirmed&#8221; Jim Biden perjured himself about a meet-up at a Los Angeles hotel in May 2017.
The meeting was premised on Hunter Biden wanting Bobulinski to meet with his father because he was the CEO of Sinohawk, the Bidens&#8217; partnership with CEFC, the witness said.

Hunter Biden <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Hunter-Biden-Transcript_Redacted.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in his deposition</a> that Bobulinski spoke to his father, who was in town to speak at a conference, in the hotel lobby.
But Jim Biden <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/James-Biden-Transcript.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denied</a> that he was present for any such meeting and went as far as to say his brother Joe Biden &#8220;never&#8221; met with Bobulinski. Although Jim Biden qualified his denial by saying it was to his knowledge, Bobulinski insisted he was telling a &#8220;flat-out lie.&#8221;
Bobulinski said he hoped the GOP-led committee would hold Hunter Biden and Jim Biden &#8220;accountable&#8221; for the alleged perjury.
The House Oversight Committee invited Hunter Biden to attend the hearing on Wednesday, but the first son denied the offer, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-refuses-public-hearing-comer-says-panel-called-his-bluff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">citing</a> a scheduling conflict.
Chairman James Comer (R-KY) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/comer-says-biden-impeachment-inquiry-will-lead-to-multiple-criminal-referrals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in an interview over the weekend the impeachment inquiry would lead to &#8220;multiple&#8221; criminal referrals, citing discrepancies in testimony.
During his deposition in February, Hunter Biden said that his venture with Bobulinski never got funded, and he and his uncle Jim Biden went on to do a venture with CEFC without Bobulinski.
Hunter Biden said Bobulinski got dropped from the dealings because he &#8220;lost complete faith&#8221; in Bobulinski.
&#8220;I did not find him to be credible. I did not find him to be competent. I found him to be arrogant. I found him to often not tell the full truth or the truth at all,&#8221; he added.
Jim Biden said in his deposition that he was not &#8220;fond&#8221; of Bobulinski and responded &#8220;yes&#8221; when asked if he would describe Bobulinski as a &#8220;bully&#8221; during an exchange about their ill-fated team-up.
Bobulinski claims Hunter and James Biden <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Bobulinski-Transcript.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;knowingly and aggressively&#8221;</a> defrauded him.

Impeachment Witness Tony Bobulinski Claims Hunter And James Biden Perjured Themselves

Perjury

White House Counsel Ed Siskel <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/15/white-house-counsel-speaker-impeachment-inquiry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">delivered a scathing letter</a> on Friday to House Republicans demanding that they end the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
In the letter addressed to House Speaker Mike Johnson, Siskel outlined all of the reasons that the White House believed that the impeachment inquiry should be ended, calling the investigation a &#8220;divisive political sideshow&#8221; and arguing that even a few Republicans agreed that nothing truly impeachable had been discovered thus far.
&#8220;For over a year, House Republicans have been investigating President Biden in an effort to find something — anything — to hurt the President politically,&#8221; Siskel wrote, adding, &#8220;Instead, the investigation has continually turned up evidence that, in fact, the President did nothing wrong.&#8221;
Siskel then proceeded to list a series of 12 witnesses — among them Hunter Biden and James Biden — who had claimed when interviewed that Biden had not done anything wrong, along with a number of experts and mainstream media outlets (CNN, NBC, and The Washington Post) that had all come to the same conclusion the White House had: that &#8220;no evidence&#8221; of wrongdoing had been uncovered.
The White House counsel then pivoted to attack the sources of some of the allegations against the Biden family, citing alleged ties to Russia as well. &#8220;This impeachment inquiry in large part has been based on allegations made by troubling sources, as recent developments have made clear. In February, the source of a bribery allegation that the Majority spent much of 2023 promoting was criminally charged for making it up. Prosecutors even said he had been in contact with Russian intelligence.&#8221;
Siskel concluded by attacking Republican plans to reinterview key witnesses, complaining that it was &#8220;abusive,&#8221; and again demanded an end to the impeachment.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1710609735267000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2rf99YA1c0lijlKgxQ8Cf-">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
&#8220;This is just the latest abusive tactic in this investigation. It has targeted the President’s children, grandchildren, siblings, and in-laws for no reason. It has intruded into private citizens’ personal records on everything from medical visits to birthday presents. Enough is enough,&#8221; Siskel wrote. &#8220;It is obviously time to move on, Mr. Speaker. This impeachment is over. There is too much important work to be done for the American people to continue wasting time on this charade.&#8221;

President Joe Biden&#8217;s embattled son <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a> is set to go on trial on three felony gun charges on June 3 — just 17 days prior to the start of his already-scheduled trial for nine tax charges in California.
Delaware U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika ruled on Wednesday that the trial could start on June 3 despite the proximity of the dates, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/13/politics/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN reported</a>, and both trials were scheduled in the aftermath of a failed plea agreement — which was initially supposed to include both the tax charges and the gun charges.
In Delaware, the younger Biden faces three gun-related charges, including unlawfully purchasing a revolver while using illicit drugs, allegedly lying on federal forms about his drug use when he bought the weapon. Prosecutors say that Biden owned the firearm in question — a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver that he purchased in October of 2018 — for approximately 11 days.
Biden&#8217;s attorneys have filed a number of motions claiming that the plea agreement — which <a href="https://apnews.com/article/hunter-biden-plea-deal-taxes-gun-drugs-690d38f1ffae4dfce2c171d21e7d3594" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fell apart last summer</a> — is still valid and covers the gun charges. Judge Noreika said during Wednesday&#8217;s status hearing that she has been &#8220;working through the motions,&#8221; adding, &#8220;I haven’t completely figured out what I’m going to do with all of them.&#8221;

According to CNN&#8217;s report, both parties believe the gun trial could wrap up in under a week — with the prosecution taking several days and the defense another two days.
Biden&#8217;s second trial is scheduled to begin on June 20, and covers nine tax-related charges amounting to what CNN referred to as &#8220;an alleged conspiracy across several years to avoid paying over $1 million in taxes.&#8221;
The charges in both cases were brought by Special Counsel David Weiss, who was appointed in August of 2023 by Attorney General Merrick Garland, and charged with overseeing the investigation into Hunter Biden.

On Wednesday, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a> declined an invitation to testify before the House Oversight Committee in a public hearing next week as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, leading a top Republican to say the panel called the first son&#8217;s &#8220;bluff&#8221; and would carry on with the event.
Abbe Lowell, a lawyer for Hunter Biden, wrote a <a href="https://twitter.com/jordainc/status/1767916813675852258" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) saying neither he nor his client could make the hearing set for March 20 because of a court hearing in California the next day.
&#8220;The scheduling conflict is the least of the issues, however,&#8221; Lowell said, adding, &#8220;Your blatant planned-for-media event is not a proper proceeding but an obvious attempt to throw a Hail Mary pass after the game has ended.&#8221;

Hunter Biden had demanded a public hearing and even showed up on Capitol Hill a couple of times to push for such an arrangement, but ultimately, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/comer-eyes-public-hearing-with-hunter-biden-to-address-discrepancies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agreed to participate in a deposition</a> two weeks ago while under threat of being held in contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas. A transcript was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-confirms-joe-biden-was-the-big-guy-referenced-in-message-about-chinese-business-deal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> soon afterward.
Comer previously said he would be open to a public hearing, but only after the deposition. Then, as Hunter Biden&#8217;s deposition came to a close in late February, Comer said the &#8220;next phase&#8221; of the impeachment inquiry would be a public hearing as some &#8220;contradictory statements&#8221; needed to be reviewed.
The announcement for the public hearing, which was made last week, showed Hunter Biden was invited to testify. The other witnesses included Biden family business associates Devon Archer, Tony Bobulinski, and Jason Galanis.
In his letter, Lowell chided some of the others invited to testify and stressed that Hunter Biden said his father was &#8220;never involved in or derived any financial benefit&#8221; from his businesses. These claims were &#8220;backed up by an accurate reference to the records in the Committee&#8217;s possession,&#8221; he added.
Lowell concluded by telling Comer, &#8220;If you are serious about pursuing this oversight purpose in a legitimate and bipartisan fashion, you would hold a hearing with relatives of former President Trump about whom you indicated you &#8216;would ask.&#8217; If you do, Mr. Biden would consider an invitation for that event.&#8221;
Comer released a statement saying the oversight panel called Hunter Biden&#8217;s &#8220;bluff&#8221; because he had previously called for a public hearing but has declined to attend now that one has been scheduled.

&#8220;During our deposition and interview phase of our investigation, Hunter Biden confirmed key evidence, including evidence that his father, President Joe Biden, lied to the American people about his family’s business dealings and in fact attended meetings, spoke on speakerphone, and had coffee with his foreign business associates who collectively funneled millions to the Bidens,&#8221; Comer said.

Beyond the impeachment inquiry, Hunter Biden faces criminal indictments that branched out of an investigation led by special counsel David Weiss. He has pleaded not guilty to federal gun and tax charges.
