George Berges also says first son made unusual request to know the identity of buyers, undercutting White House's narrative.
he art dealer who sold Hunter Biden’s paintings told Congress that President Joe Biden both called and met him at the White House as he was pitching Hunter's artwork and that the first son also made an unusual request to be informed about who bought his pieces, according to testimony that directly undercuts the White House narrative on the sales.
The Biden White House repeatedly told the public that Hunter Biden’s art sales were covered by an ethics agreement to ensure they were arms-length and that the first family -- Hunter included -- was blinded to the identity of buyers.
But George Berges, owner of the prestigious Berges art galleries based in New York and Berlin that sold Hunter Biden’s painting from 2020 to 2023, told congressional impeachment investigators that the first son likely knew the identity of 70% of the buyers – the largest who were Democrat donors – and that Hunter Biden’s first contract made an unusual request when the relationship started.
“I believe in the first contract, he was—he was able to know who the buyers were,” Berges told investigators for the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees in a transcribed interview last week that was reviewed by Just the News. “…I don’t know how it was phrased or—but I remember that there—that that was the difference.”
“Is that normal or unusual, or where’s that? Is it a normal kind of contract?” Berges was asked.
“That part was different. Normally, the gallerist does not let the artist know who the collectors are,” the art dealer answered.

Mr. Berges better hire some extra-good and tough security.
The old Pedo Potato is still grifting as hard and heavy as he always has.
The Biden Crime Family has far surpassed the Clinton Crime Family, something I hardly thought possible. They both make the old mafia look like second rate bicycle thieves.
And another shoe drops, so to speak. but most probably, NOTHING will happen to any of the Bidens.
Well, that was kinda the whole point of the scam.
No one bought that stuff because they thought it was good art.
I have yet to be awarded any lucrative government contracts. I think I’m going to ask for my money back.
Hunter’s “Art Dealer” (and I use the term loosely) told Congress under oath
<><>that WH resident Joe Biden called and met with him
<><>AT THE SAME TIME he was selling Hunter Biden’s “paintings”
<><>AT THE SAME TIME Americans were assured Biden would not know the buyers
FTA-—But the art dealer’s most damaging testimony for Joe Biden’s
pending impeachment involved (a) Joe Biden, and, (b) his White House.
Berges said under oath that
<><>in addition to meeting and talking with Joe Biden while selling Hunter Biden’s artwork,
<><>the gallerist had NEVER had any contact over what the WH ballyhooed as an “ethics agreement.”
CONGRESS: “When you’re seeing in the press that the White House is putting in certain safeguards regarding an ethics agreement, did you ever say to Hunter Biden, ‘Hey, where’s this coming from?’” a congressional investigator asked.
BERGES “I might have. I probably did, yeah,” Berges said.
CONGRESS: “And do you remember what he said to you?” the investigator continued.
BERGES: “I don’t . . . . I do remember being surprised,” Berges explained.
CONGRESS: “Why were you surprised?” he was asked.
BERGES: “Because I hadn’t had any communication with
the White House about an ethics agreement,” Berges answered.
