A former aide has claimed that Hunter Biden used his father Joe Biden’s position as the US vice president to influence their business meetings.
The ongoing political row over the criminal case against US President Joe Biden’s son Hunter was exacerbated by the demands reportedly made by House Republicans to impeach Biden. The demand to impeach the US President comes after a report by the New York Post claimed that Hunter, during Biden’s vice presidency, would “put him in into meetings” with his overseas business partners and prospective investors.
“House Republicans should initiate impeachment proceedings against Biden,” Republican Jim Banks told the tabloid on Monday.
The explosive claim was made by Devon Archer, Hunter‘s former business partner, to The New York Post, and is likely to testify the same before the US Congress on July 31.
Archer was a key figure in Biden’s family dealings during the latter’s term as the vice president of the US. Last month, the NYP had reported that Archer was in talks with the investigative committee of Congress to testify about his knowledge of those business dealings in countries including Russia and Ukraine.
The disgraced businessman is facing conviction for defrauding a Native American tribe, for which a one-year prison term was upheld by an appeals court last month. The Biden family was not involved in that scheme, the NYP said.
