WASHINGTON DC (WSAU) – Hunter Biden admitted to the House Oversight Committee that his father, President Joe Biden, was “the big guy” mentioned in an email regarding a business transaction with an energy company connected to the Chinese government.
According to the New York Post, during Wednesday’s deposition for his father’s impeachment inquiry, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a member of the House Oversight Committee, told Breitbart about Biden’s admission, saying, “At one point, we asked Hunter about the 10% for the ‘big guy. We showed him the email. And he said, ‘Oh, that was after my father left office.’
This is the first time the 54-year-old Hunter has acknowledged that email is indeed real since it was found on his laptop detailing a “10% cut for the big guy,” which was first reported by The Post in October 2020, leading to social media platforms locking their accounts and banning the story from being shared online.
After serving as Barack Obama’s vice president for eight years, Greene further told Breitbart that Hunter responded by saying he thought his father “was done” holding public service in 2017 when the deal was being negotiated.
Hunter Biden also defended putting his father on speakerphone more than 20 times with foreign associates at another point in the deposition, claiming, according to Greene, that it was “totally normal for your parents to call you.”
The Post noted that when they asked whether President Biden was always called “the big guy,” a term that his brother Frank and several Hunter’s acquaintances used, the president snapped at a Post reporter in June 2023, saying, “Why do you ask such a dumb question?”
During a break from the deposition, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer called the CEFC China Energy deal “money laundering” and cited a $40,000 check that Joe Biden received from his brother James after helping with a “complicated financial transaction.”
