The New York Post’s Steven Nelson shouted a last ditch question about President Joe Biden’s alleged involvement in his son Hunter’s business dealings as White House press sec. Karine Jean-Pierre scurried away from the podium.
A recently released CNN poll found 61% of Americans believe Biden played a hand in Hunter’s business dealings as Vice President. Nelson screamed the question as Jean-Pierre walked away from the podium.
“Can you explain why the president interacted with so many of his son’s foreign business associates? More than half of voters told CNN they believe the president was involved and he lied! You can’t have a response to that, Karine?” Nelson asked.
Jean-Pierre could be heard saying “thank you” and ignoring the question about Hunter. (RELATED: House Oversight Pushes Back On White House’s Claim Of ‘No Evidence’ Linking Joe Biden To Hunter Business Deals)
Among the 61% of respondents to the poll who said Biden was likely involved, 42% said they believe Biden’s actions were illegal, 18% said Biden acted unethically and 1% said he was involved in his son’s dealings but did nothing wrong.
Thirty-eight percent said they thought the then-vice president did not have any involvement in Hunter’s foreign business dealings in countries like Ukraine and China. The poll also found 55% of respondents thought Biden acted inappropriate during the ongoing investigations into Hunter with 44% saying Biden did act appropriately.
The poll was conducted online and via telephone with a 3.5% margin of error. The poll was conducted between Aug. 25-31 among a random national sample of 1,503 adults.
