McCarthy Shows GOP Video of Biden Denials Before Whistleblower Testimony

Created: JANUARY 24, 2025

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy presented a video compilation to House Republicans showcasing President Biden's repeated denials of involvement in his family's business affairs. This comes just a day before an IRS whistleblower is scheduled to testify before Congress, alleging political interference in the Hunter Biden investigation.

The exclusive video obtained by Fox News Digital chronicles Biden's defense of his family's actions, culminating in IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley's assertion that the investigation he participated in was obstructed from pursuing leads potentially implicating President Biden.

Shapley and another whistleblower are set to appear before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, claiming that the Justice Department interfered in the IRS's investigation into Hunter Biden's business dealings. This hearing represents the culmination of interconnected investigations by multiple House committees into both Hunter Biden and the president's brother, James Biden.

This move underscores the significance House GOP leaders attribute to the Biden family investigation, a primary focus for Republicans since regaining the House majority. It has also served as a unifying point within a politically diverse conference.

The timing of McCarthy's video presentation and the upcoming hearing coincides with an intense budget battle within the House, where a small group of conservative representatives holds significant sway over legislation.

Despite internal divisions on other issues, House Republicans have largely coalesced around their suspicion of wrongdoing by the president's family.

Hunter Biden recently reached a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, pleading guilty to misdemeanor tax charges and a felony firearm possession charge, concluding a protracted investigation into his overseas business activities, including dealings in Ukraine and China.

The two-minute video presented to lawmakers features news clips from the 2020 presidential debates, showing Biden denying any unethical conduct related to his son's international work. Subsequent clips reveal investigations into both James and Hunter Biden, followed by Biden's dismissal of allegations regarding financial transactions involving his relatives.

McCarthy's compilation also highlights reports of flagged bank transactions linked to Hunter and James Biden, alongside a White House statement characterizing their dealings as "private matters."

Shapley, a veteran IRS agent, alleges that the Justice Department hampered the Hunter Biden investigation he was involved in. He claims that U.S. Attorney David Weiss's attempts to obtain special counsel status were rejected, and that Weiss was prevented from filing charges in other jurisdictions, contradicting Attorney General Merrick Garland's assertions of Weiss's independence.

Weiss has disputed these allegations in a letter to Senator Lindsey Graham.
