Matt Gaetz Questions FBI Director on Alleged Protection of the Bidens<\/h2>\n<p>During a hearing on Wednesday, Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz engaged in a fiery exchange with FBI Director Christopher Wray regarding the bureau&#8217;s handling of investigations into President Joe Biden&#8217;s son, Hunter Biden. Gaetz directly asked Wray if the FBI was protecting the Biden family.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m sitting here with my father. I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge, that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here for the call with my father,&#8221; Gaetz said, quoting a WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to a Chinese businessman, as revealed by IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley in June. &#8220;Sounds like a shakedown, doesn&#8217;t it, director?&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Wray chose not to comment on the matter. It is worth noting that the FBI and Department of Justice have been conducting investigations into Hunter Biden since 2020, and he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wife-of-drug-kingpin-el-chapo-pleads-guilty-in-federal-court\/\" title=\"Wife of drug kingpin \u2018El Chapo\u2019 pleads guilty in federal court\">recently pleaded guilty<\/a> to tax and gun charges.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mattgaetz?\">@MattGaetz<\/a> reads the Hunter Biden WhatsApp Text to Christopher Wray and asks &#8220;Are you protecting the Bidens?&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/d7bD1VBBti\">pic.twitter.com\/d7bD1VBBti<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ALX  (@alx) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alx\/status\/1679146229874434049?\">July 12, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;You seem rather uncurious about it.
