House Democrats continued to defend President Joe Biden this week from family corruption accusations, despite powerful and growing allegations to the contrary.
As arguments mount against Joe Biden’s claims that he’s had no involvement or knowledge of his family’s foreign business, House Democrats have taken the increasingly far-fetched position of defending the president.
“There is zero evidence linking President Biden personally to anything” to do with his family’s business, Democrat Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) said Thursday.

Last week, House Oversight Committee James Comer announced that Joe Biden’s family business received over $20 million while he was vice president in the Obama administration. A number of Biden family suspicious activity reports of wire transfers support Comer’s claim.
The revelation did not prevent Democrats from protecting the president. Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) told NBC News that he still does not “think the president is corrupt.”

Damning allegations surfaced last month from an FBI informant that a former executive of Burisma Holdings bribed Joe and Hunter Biden with $10 million.
Starting in 2014, Burisma paid Hunter Biden $83,000 a month for a board position to obtain the Biden “brand,” as Biden business associate Devon Archer described the arrangement.
The House Oversight Committee argues that Joe Biden threatened to withhold U.S. aid to Ukraine in 2015 until the president of Ukraine fired prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who had jurisdiction for an investigation into the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
Some Republican lawmakers believe the FBI informant document is a reason to begin an impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden.

“There’s been no evidence to show [Joe Biden] has been involved in anything!” Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) told CNN’s Jake Tapper.
Archer told House investigators that Joe Biden phoned in on over 20 phone calls with Hunter Biden and his foreign associates.
The Biden brand is an “abuse of soft power,” Archer told Tucker Carlson during an interview on Twitter. “Obviously, the brand of Biden, you know, adds a lot of power when your dad’s vice president.”
“Shouldn’t President Biden have realized what Hunter was doing here — getting on the phone, talking speakerphone with his business associates — did he, at the very least, show a major lapse of judgment?” Tapper asked Goldman.
“They never discussed business!” he replied.
Goldman previously claimed Joe Biden phoned into the meetings to discuss the weather.
