Hunter Biden admitted during his deposition Wednesday that he put his father, Joe Biden, on speakerphone with his business associates, and invited him to drop by business lunches, while maintaining that his father was never involved in his business dealings, a transcript of his testimony reviewed by Fox News Digital reveals.
Fox News Digital obtained the transcript of Hunter Biden’s highly-anticipated testimony. The first son sat for a deposition on Capitol Hill Wednesday for more than seven hours as part of the impeachment inquiry against his father.
During his deposition, Hunter Biden testified repeatedly that his father was not involved in his business dealings.
When pressed about testimony from his ex-business associates like Devon Archer and Rob Walker — both of whom claimed Hunter Biden put his father on speakerphone when doing business and attended business lunches and meetings — Hunter Biden testified that it was normal behavior, as he was speaking to his father, and spending time with his father.
As for business lunches, Hunter Biden said: “Would you call it involvement if my dad was in New York City at the same time I was in New York City and I was having lunch with some of my business associates, and I said, Hey, dad, come by for lunch?”
“Who wouldn’t do that? Are you saying that you wouldn’t do that with your father if he was in town at the same time?” Hunter Biden asked investigators.
