EXCERPT:
ZANONA: “Republicans say this raises questions about foreign influence and also whether Biden’s family members were using his name to try to make money, but the memo does not link these payments in any way to President Joe Biden. I want to be crystal-clear about that. And the memo does not show that President Joe Biden, while he was vice president, used his position to either direct these payments or to try to enrich his own family members in any way, which Republicans have said is the entire purpose of their investigation. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden’s legal team says that he pursued these business deals legitimately and he has a right as a private citizen to do that. I want to read you part of the statement from his legal team, they said, 'Hunter Biden, a private citizen with every right to pursue his own business endeavors, joined several business partners in seeking a joint venture with a privately owned, legitimate energy company in China. As part of that joint venture, Hunter received his portion of good faith seed funds which he shared with his uncle, James Biden, and Hallie Biden, with whom he was involved with at the time and sharing expenses.' So, again, Republicans are digging into this issue, they are trying to make this a political liability for President Joe Biden, but so far they have not provided any evidence of wrongdoing.”
