Hunter Biden knew the identities of 70 percent of his “anonymous” art buyers after the White House claimed Hunter was “not involved in the sale or discussions about the sale of his art,” and that Hunter will not be “informed” of “who is purchasing his art,” the House Oversight Committee found Tuesday.
Hunter’s art sales worry Republicans due to the often nefarious nature of the art world:
- Money laundering is a major issue in the industry, according to a 2020 Senate report.
- Some Republicans believe the Biden business laundered money.
The revelations show “no evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden,” House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said in a statement. “Biden had no knowledge of, or role in, these art sales.”
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) said the White House “appears to have deceived” about the art sales.
