White House press secretary Jen Psaki declined to say Monday whether first son Hunter Biden has sold his remaining stake in a Chinese private equity firm with ties to the Communist government in Beijing — two years after President Biden vowed that his family would divest itself of all overseas business interests.
In April, the Daily Caller reported that Skaneateles LLC — Hunter’s company — still owned 10 percent of BHR Partners, which is controlled by the state-run Bank of China.
On Monday, Newsmax correspondent Emerald Robinson asked Psaki for an update on the matter, to which the press secretary responded: “I’d point you to his representatives on that. He [Hunter] doesn’t work in the administration.”
“The President has said during the campaign that none of his family will have any business relationship with anyone that relates to a foreign corporation or a foreign country,” Robinson pressed shortly after Psaki’s response. “Wouldn’t it be assuring to the American people, as we head into this, if they just let the American people know if Hunter has divulged himself of that to make sure there’s no –“
“Again, I conveyed to you, and then I think I’m going to have to move on, that you should talk to his representatives,” Psaki repeated.
