According to Politico, Swalwell confirmed that \u200bhe was responsible for \u2064the move,\u2063 catching Republicans off-guard. \u200cGOP Representative Darrell \u200bIssa accused Swalwell of\u2063 an \u2062ethics violation and sent a letter \u200cto the House Ethics\u200c and \u2063House Administration committees addressing the issue. It is alleged that Swalwell intended to allow Hunter Biden to\u200c publicly announce his refusal to comply with a \u2064subpoena and be\u2062 in contempt of Congress by reserving the media space.<\/p>\n<p>This accusation comes as\u2064 no surprise\u200b considering\u2063 Swalwell&#8217;s \u200cprevious involvement with suspected Chinese \u200dspy Christine Fang. In January, Swalwell lost his place on the House Intelligence Committee due to\u2064 this\u2064 reported involvement. \u200dHowever, he remains on the House Judiciary Committee, the very committee responsible \u200cfor investigating Hunter Biden. This raises concerns about \u2064Swalwell&#8217;s behavior and his potential bias towards Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these\u200c accusations, Swalwell has \u200bexpressed his\u200d unwavering support for Hunter Biden, stating that there\u200b is zero evidence of corruption \u2062on the part of Hunter or his father. This\u2063 claim\u200c is contradicted by House Republicans who have \u200dbeen investigating the Biden family. Swalwell\u200b has made it clear that \u2064he will not sit quietly and let\u200d MAGA Republicans do Trump&#8217;s bidding in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>During Hunter Biden&#8217;s press conference, where Swalwell \u200dstood nearby, he\u2063 acknowledged making \u2062&#8221;mistakes&#8221; but denied any financial stake from his father in his ventures. It is yet to\u200d be seen how these allegations and Swalwell&#8217;s \u2064involvement will impact the \u200bongoing \u200cinvestigations into \u2063the Biden\u2063 family.<\/p>\n<p>Sources:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Politico: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2023\/12\/13\/hunter-biden-wingman-eric-swalwell-00131582\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2023\/12\/13\/hunter-biden-wingman-eric-swalwell-00131582<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Western Journal: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hunter-biden-cleverly-evaded-possibility-arrest-speaking-senate-side-capitol-fox-news-reporter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hunter-biden-cleverly-evaded-possibility-arrest-speaking-senate-side-capitol-fox-news-reporter\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Washington Examiner: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/issa-accuses-swalwell-abetting-contempt-arranging-hunter-biden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/issa-accuses-swalwell-abetting-contempt-arranging-hunter-biden<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Daily Mail: \u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12860883\/Democrat-Eric-Swalwell-accused-aiding-abetting-CRIME-helping-Hunter-Biden-set-press-conference-defied-subpoena-faces-ethics-complaint.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12860883\/Democrat-Eric-Swalwell-accused-aiding-abetting-CRIME-helping-Hunter-Biden-set-press-conference-defied-subpoena-faces-ethics-complaint.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s true, as they say, about &#8220;birds of a feather.&#8221; This was evident as people rallied to support Hunter Biden.
