Report: WH Shelling out Taxpayer Dollars to Deal With Hunter Biden Probe and More

We’ve seen Joe Biden trying to duck transparency when it comes to who he might be meeting with when he goes on vacation to either of his two homes in Delaware. He’s refused to turn over the visitor logs on that. Even the Secret Service seems to be running cover for him when they say they have no responsive records for FOIA requests seeking to find out with whom he is meeting when it’s their basic job to investigate anyone who would visit him.

We’ve also seen Joe Biden lie his head off when it comes to his son Hunter, claiming he hasn’t talked with his son about his business when he’s met more than 14 times with business associates of Hunter’s, and Tony Bobulinski has said that Biden was aware and involved in some of the business.

But now, according to the NY Post, the White House is gearing up to fight the likely coming probes on Hunter Biden, the origins of coronavirus, as well as the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, and we’re going to have to pay for it. They’re already shelling out $265,000 a year in salaries and it’s expected to balloon, even more, to deal with the probes and the subpoenas they think are coming.

In May, the White House poached Richard A. Sauber, the top attorney for the Department of Veterans Affairs, to serve as a “deputy counsel to the president” tasked with handling House oversight probes. Ian Sams, a veteran of Vice President Harris’ failed 2020 presidential campaign, was hired to run official comms for the team. White House records show the two men will take home $155,000 and $110,000 respectively.

And the team is only expected to grow, the Washington Post reported — indicating that its staffing and operational expenditures will balloon further.

“Americans deserve transparency from President Biden about his family’s suspicious business dealings. But instead of providing transparency, the White House is hiring staff at the American taxpayers’ expense to stonewall congressional oversight and accountability,” said Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), who is on track to chair the House Oversight Committee next year if Republicans retake the House.

“Let’s be clear: no amount of Biden White House staff or stonewalling will stop Republicans’ quest for transparency and accountability on behalf of the American people,” he added.

  1. Can’t Hunter just dash off a couple of his ‘masterpieces’ and use the proceeds to defray the cost of his taxpayer funded criminal defense team? At a reported 1/2 million a copy shouldn’t put too a big a dent in his personal time. It’s not like he’d be late for work.

    Asking for a friend.

  2. Biden will spend more than $200 million in manpower and office supplies protecting himself from himself and his son.
