The Washington Examiner’s Sarah Bedford said Thursday that Hunter Biden had been selling access to his father, President Joe Biden, to foreign countries during the elder Biden’s time as vice president.
Bedford’s comment comes after Devon Archer testified that Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company where he and Hunter Biden were board members, would have gone under sooner if it wasn’t for the “Biden brand” being involved. Bedford noted that Joe Biden had run in 2020 saying “I never discussed business with my son.”

“Now we know that Hunter Biden was selling access to his father,” Bedford said. “He was essentially selling to foreign companies, some of them from adversarial countries, the ability to get the vice president on the phone at any time, and that is really, really a far stretch from ‘I never discussed business dealings with my father.'”

Bedford added that Archer’s testimony shows the public that Hunter Biden was essentially selling access to his father.
“That’s what Hunter Biden was selling, and foreign companies were willing to pay a lot of money for that,” she said.
Suspicions around Joe Biden and his connection with his son have been raised by many Republican lawmakers. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) has said that Hunter Biden called his father around other people about 20 times over 10 years.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) are leading the effort to challenge the Department of Justice’s handling of a plea deal for Hunter Biden, sending a letter to the DOJ to give them a deadline of Aug. 14 to provide information for the inquiry.
On Thursday, Gallup released a poll that found only 42% believe the Biden administration’s ethics are either “excellent” or “good.” The only other administration since 1980 that had a worse public perception regarding ethics was Donald Trump’s.
