President Joe Biden has consistently maintained that he has never talked with his son Hunter about his business dealings in Ukraine and China. Last week, though, the New York Post, the same outlet that had its Twitter account locked for weeks because it was dealing in “Russian disinformation” and “hacked materials,” reported that they’d been able to retrieve a voicemail in which Biden told Hunter, “I think you’re clear” — which certainly suggests whatever Hunter was up to might have been improper or illegal.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about that voicemail by Fox News’ Peter Doocy, but she said she’s not going to talk about alleged materials from the laptop.
DOOCY: "Why is there a voicemail of the president talking to his son about his overseas business dealings…?"
KJP: "I am not going to talk about alleged materials from the laptop."
DOOCY: "Are you disputing that it's the president's voice on the voicemail?" pic.twitter.com/DOfRRBSNoR

RealClearNews’ Philip Wegman followed up:
.@PhilipWegmann: "You seemed to dismiss Peter's question about his conversation with his son Hunter Biden…how is that silence consistent with the president's promise to always level with the American public?"
KJP: "I can not comment on any materials from the laptop." pic.twitter.com/P1AYJvlINz

So, we’re going to be the most transparent administration in history, but we won’t answer questions from the podium and the president won’t take questions at all. Ok.

What’s their excuse for not talking about the laptop now, after both the New York Times and Washington Post (finally) confirmed it was authentic? No, Hunter’s not a public figure, but if his father’s voice is on that cellphone backup, that’s a different story.
Amazing what this administration gets away with!

No denial of the conversation and we can extrapolate the laptop is real and a credible source of information. If lying is a crime several should be incarcerated.

She thinks that if she doesn’t talk about it that it didn’t happen. She’s a real firecracker that one….a dud.

POTUS had no problem denying he ever spoke to him about such things.

So basically it’s being covered up and I was told to keep it that way

Doesn't have a "laptop" section in her playbook.

So @POTUS clearly has exceptions to the being upfront with the American people. Which would mean he has no intentions to be upfront. Message received.
