During his appearance outside the U.S. Capitol this morning, Hunter Biden insisted that his father "was not financially involved" in his business dealings:
Hunter Biden added that "my father was not financially involved in my business," saying he was not involved in his dealings with Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings, or his Chinese investments and others in the U.S.
"No evidence to support that my father was financially involved in my business because it did not happen," Hunter Biden said.
One more time:

Did you catch that shift?
It didn't escape notice from Republican Rep. Jim Jordan:
.@RepJamesComer on Hunter Biden: "We've never mocked his addiction."

Rep. @Jim_Jordan on Joe Biden: "He's been involved, just not financially. That is a huge departure from everything they have said now for the last three-and-a-half years." pic.twitter.com/FPCLrKqhlp
Talking point pivot detected!
Rep. @Jim_Jordan on Hunter Biden: "He said his father was not financially involved in the business...another change in the story...We think he should come in. If he doesn't we're going to move forward with contempt proceedings." pic.twitter.com/z9Ggrxn7Tc

That shift is quite amazing considering this all started three or four years ago with Joe Biden saying he never even spoke to his son about his overseas business dealings.
"Financially" is hilariously specific.

not *financially* involved is a very specific word choice https://t.co/B0Rum0jQDz

Note the legalese wording.

This leaves room for Joe was involved, just not *financially.
All those payments to Joe were just repayments of personal loans, you see. https://t.co/T5FASbTGY4
And it's been pointed out previously that if Hunter and Jim Biden were the ones making the money, why would Joe have to give THEM loans? This just doesn't add up.
