White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki had her feet held to the fire by New York Post reporter Steven Nelson over Hunter Biden’s business dealings in China and Russia and she did not like it.
“I’ve got a quick clarification and two questions about presidential conflicts of interest in foreign affairs.
The first brief clarification is: The New York Times reported this week that the First Son remains under criminal investigation. Does the President still intend to stay out of that case?” the reporter said to begin his questioning.
Psaki was able to stealthily avoid directly answering the question by passing the buck.
“Yes. It’s the Department of Justice, and I would point you to them,” she said.
Nelson then moved on to reports that alleged that Hunter’s firm received $3.5 million from the richest woman in Russia, Elena Baturina, in 2014.
“And my two questions about conflicts of interest in foreign affairs. First, I have a question about Russia and then one about China,” he said.

Q I’m sorry. I’m sorry. We could — hold on.
PSAKI: Go ahead.
Q My question about the conflict of interests when it comes to China is: Last year, the First Son’s attorney said that he divested from a Chinese investment fund controlled by Chinese state-owned entities. We have received not even basic transparency about who bought out his stake, when this happened, and how much money changed hands. Did he actually divest? And if so, can you agree to basic transparency?
PSAKI: He’s a private citizen. He doesn’t work for the government. I’d point you to his representatives.
Thank you.
Q But there’s a blaring conflict of interest for his father’s role as President, dealing with China.
PSAKI: I think we’re done here. Thank you very much.
She’s got enough on her plate defending Joe, so adding Hunter to that pile does seem like piling on. On the other hand, the job is voluntary.
PissSaki is a typical Federal Government LIAR.
ONE FREAKING MEDIA PERSON!! ONE!! DISGUSTING!
Don't care. It's time people start holding the feet of this administration to the fire. They lie every day. Trying to blame Russia for high gas prices when they were up 50% long before Russia invaded Ukraine. Hey! Dufus! Just reinstate the XL pipeline and remove the restrictions on productive oil leases and watch what happens to the spot price of oil.
Looks like it wasn’t “Russian disinformation” after all. Brennan, Clapper, etc... will suffer no consequences for their lies. None. At least not in this world.
Will she admit that the democRATs were on the wrong side of the truth on Hunter, the Russia hoax and the Ukraine phone call impeachment?
I’m shocked she got the question.
The word will go out to not ask any more.
Is not easy covering for a a lying, pandering demagogue as corrupt and shameless as Joe Biden, but Psaki has the perfect lack of shame, self-respect, conscience, and integrity to do so with little effort.
I understand the WH Spokesmouth gives golden showers as a side gig.
You didn’t hear it from me.
The P is silent...
That line of argument certainly worked for Don Jr.
Oh, wait.
“Psaki Avoids Questions On Hunter Biden As Reporter Presses Her”
I hope he used a ten-foot pole.
>> >>PSAKI: He’s a private citizen. He doesn’t work for the government. I’d point you to his representatives.
>> That line of argument certainly worked for Don Jr.
>> Oh, wait.
And it’s not working for Clarence Thomas and his wife, either.
Bobbke-head Psaki avoids answering the question because the only answer is he and Joe Biden are as guilty as hell of everything the laptop shows. To answer she would have to lie or tell the truth.
