Reporters roasted White House press sec. Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday after she tried to dodge questions about text messages allegedly showing President Joe Biden was involved with his son Hunter’s foreign business dealings.
IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley told members of Congress that Hunter Biden threatened Chinese business associate Henry Zhao by saying his father, Joe Biden, was sitting next to him and that Zhao would “regret not following my direction.”
