So, to ensure the independence of the investigation, would the President support the appointment of a special counsel?&#8221; Peter Doocy asked.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-5e19d842=\"\">\n<p>Jen Psaki did not give a yes or no answer. Instead she said &#8220;The President has never had a conversation with the Department of Justice about any investigations into any member of his family. He said that during the campaign, and he will continue to abide by that. So I point you to the Department of Justice for any additional steps they would take, they would make those decisions independently.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-5e19d842=\"\">\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/witness-in-hunter-biden-tax-probe-asked-to-id-big-guy-in-chinese-energy-deal\">latest development<\/a> in the saga was a grand jury in the state of Delaware asking a witness about the identity of the &#8220;Big Guy&#8221; in Hunter Biden\u2019s leaked laptop emails.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-5e19d842=\"\">\n<p>Doocy asked in a follow-up: &#8220;Is there any concern that they\u2019re not going to be necessarily seen as being able to make the decisions independently? The White House Chief of Staff is out saying that the President is confident his son did not break the law.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-5e19d842=\"\">\n<p>&#8220;Well that\u2019s something the President has said, and certainly we would echo. But in the same answer to that question, Peter, during an interview this week on ABC, Ron Klain also said the Justice Department is independent and they will make their own decisions,&#8221; Psaki responded.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-5e19d842=\"\">\n<p>The timing of the interview comes after Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/bidens-chief-of-staff-asked-hunter-for-funds-for-vp-residence\">reported<\/a> that in September 2012, Ron Klain had reached out to Hunter Biden for help fundraising $20,000 that went towards a group that maintains the vice president\u2019s residence. But in that exchange Klain urged Joe Biden\u2019s son to &#8220;keep it low key&#8221; so that there wouldn\u2019t be PR backlash.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-5e19d842=\"\">\n<p>Another question had Psaki <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TPostMillennial\/status\/1511439224423301120\">reaffirmed<\/a> still, despite the latest developments, that Joe Biden had never asked Hunter about his overseas dealings. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-5e19d842=\"\">\n<p>In the interim when Psaki was away amid a COVID diagnosis, White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield filled-in and responded to inquiries from multiple outlets including CBS, who <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/cbs-reporter-asks-if-biden-will-pardon-his-son-and-brother-during-press-briefing\">asked<\/a> if Joe Biden considered using the powers of presidential pardon for the cases of either his own son, or brother. This in itself was encouraged by the mainstream media lifting their blackout on talking about the Hunter Biden investigation. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-5e19d842=\"\">\n<p>Establishment outlets like <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/new-york-times-finally-acknowledges-legitimacy-of-nyps-hunter-bidens-laptop-story\"><em>The New York Times<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>and <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/washington-post-reveals-details-about-biden-family-influence-peddling-after-ignoring-bombshell-reporting-from-new-york-post\"><em>Washington Post<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>have acknowledged the legitimacy of leaked contents from Hunter\u2019s laptop, after a prolonged period of implicit denial otherwise.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peter Doocy asked the White House on Tuesday if their position on the Hunter Biden investigation has changed, given recent reporting.When asked about appointing a special counsel to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":498,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1421697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1421697","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/498"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1421697"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1421697\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1421697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1421697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1421697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
