On Thursday, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) announced that whistleblowers have told his office that President Biden was aware of Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings, contradicting the president’s repeated claims that he had no knowledge about the subject.
“Other whistleblower disclosures to my office made clear that the FBI has within its possession very significant, impactful and voluminous evidence with respect to potential criminal conduct by Hunter and James Biden,” Grassley said.
“These disclosures also allege that Joe Biden was aware of Hunter Biden’s business arrangements and may have been involved in some of them. We still aren’t sure what’s been done with this information,” Grassley added.

Grassley made similar statements late last year, when he revealed that whistleblowers had told his office that Biden was also involved in some of his son’s foreign business dealings.
“These documents also indicate that Joe Biden was aware of Hunter Biden’s business arrangements and may have been involved in some of them,” Grassley said at the time. He added it is “unclear whether the FBI followed normal investigative procedure to determine the truth and accuracy of the information or shut down investigative activity based on improper disinformation claims in advance of the 2020 election.”
The news is particularly significant because “President Biden has repeatedly denied speaking to Hunter about his business dealings. He has also denied, since the 2020 campaign trail, having any knowledge about or involvement in his son’s business ventures,” Fox News reported.
