The message, which seemingly exploits the influence of his father, President Joe Biden, raised concerns about the president&#8217;s previous claims of not discussing his son&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-secret-service-intervened-in-hunter-biden-gun-incident-lied-on-background-check-form-report-says\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Secret Service Intervened In Hunter Biden Gun Incident; Lied On Background Check Form, Report Says\">overseas business dealings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>A Potential Smoking Gun?<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Does this not undermine the president&#8217;s claim during the 2020 campaign and the reaffirmations of that claim by his two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/top-10-best-jim-acosta-moments\/\" title=\"Top 10 'Best' Jim Acosta Moments\">press secretaries<\/a> since then, that he never once discussed his son&#8217;s overseas business dealings with him?&#8221; James Rosen of Newsmax asked.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite the pressing nature of the question, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby refused to engage, simply stating, &#8220;No, and I&#8217;m not going to comment further on this.&#8221; This led to a back-and-forth exchange between Kirby and Rosen, with Kirby eventually shutting down any further discussion on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>When Jean-Pierre took the podium, she repeatedly redirected the questions to the White House counsel, who had only released a brief statement prior to the revelation of the text message. The statement from White House spokesman Ian Sams expressed support for Hunter Biden&#8217;s journey of rebuilding his life, but provided no further comment.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter Biden&#8217;s personal attorney, Chris Clark, also released a statement, distancing the actions of his client from the rest of his family. &#8220;Any verifiable words or actions of my client, in the midst of a horrible addiction, are solely his own and have no connection to anyone in his family,&#8221; Clark stated.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>The Controversial Text Message<\/h3>\n<p>The focus of the controversy lies in a July 30, 2017, WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to Henry Zhao, the group chairman of China&#8217;s Harvest Fund Management. In the message, Hunter references his father and demands a payment while seemingly threatening the Chinese businessman.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The implications of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/they-are-not-going-to-let-me-go-mother-sent-chilling-last-text-to-daughter-before-death\/\" title=\"\u2018They Are Not Going To Let Me Go\u2019: Mother Sent Chilling Last Text To Daughter Before Death\">text message suggest<\/a> that Joe Biden may have been aware of and potentially involved in his son&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-calls-travel-lid-for-wednesday-an-hour-after-bobulinski-interview-airs\/\" title=\"Biden Calls Travel Lid for Wednesday an Hour After Bobulinski Interview Airs\">foreign business dealings<\/a>. Photographs from Hunter Biden&#8217;s laptop, previously reviewed by the Washington Examiner, indicate that Hunter was at his father&#8217;s residence on the day the text message was sent, although it remains unclear if Joe Biden was present at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the mounting questions and intensified scrutiny, Jean-Pierre remained tight-lipped, repeatedly referring back to the White House counsel&#8217;s previous response. Reporters continued to press for more information, but Jean-Pierre refused to provide any further details.<\/p>\n<p>As the controversy surrounding Hunter Biden&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-hammered-over-hunter-biden-text-message-to-chinese-associate\/\" title=\"White House under fire for Hunter Biden's text to Chinese contact\">text message unfolds<\/a>, the White House finds itself under increasing pressure to address the allegations and clarify the extent of President Biden&#8217;s involvement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The White House refused to address inquiries regarding a text message sent by Hunter Biden to a Chinese business associate, seemingly exploiting his father&#8217;s influence.
