CNN Reporter Flags ‘Serious Questions’ About Hunter Biden, FBI

Hunter Biden

CNN correspondent Sara Sidner recognized the Hunter Biden scandal in a Twitter thread on Sunday, arguing that investigating Biden’s business dealings "shouldn’t be a partisan issue."

Fox News Digital reports the reporter stated that "legitimate questions" about President Joe Biden’s son, and the FBI’s investigation into him, "should be asked" even though the younger Biden is not an elected official.

The mere fact that Sidner mentioned the Hunter Biden scandal saga enraged many liberals on Twitter, who slammed her post and wondered if this was yet another sign that CNN had gone off the rails ever since new management proposed turning the network away from overt partisan bias.

There are serious questions that should be asked about Hunter Biden. H’s not an elected official but legitimate questions should be asked and answered about his former business dealings and how it was handled by the FBI.

Sidner made her Monday morning observation by sharing a Yahoo News article detailing Hunter Biden’s alleged shady business relationship with Chinese billionaire Ye Jianming and his "international fixer," Patrick Ho, who was being investigated by the FBI in 2017 for a "global bribery scheme" that "appeared to advance Chinese government interests."

Biden administration officials and those in the president’s camp have long cast materials that came from the laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden as disinformation, but intelligence community officials have said, as far back as October 2020, that neither the laptop nor materials on it are part of any sort of disinformation campaign.

Biden administration officials and those in the president’s camp have long cast materials that came from the laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden (shown) as disinformation, but intelligence community officials have said, as far back as October 2020, that neither the laptop nor materials on it are part of any sort of disinformation campaign. 

The article detailed how evidence of this relationship and huge monetary exchanges between the two parties, which also included the president’s brother, James Biden, could be found in emails on Hunter Biden’s now-infamous laptop.

The piece claimed that this evidence could associate Biden with a Chinese "counterintelligence threat" to the country.

"But the depth and breadth of the Bidens’ financial ties with Ho and Ye raise new questions as to whether they were targets of a Chinese influence operation that, separate and apart from an ongoing criminal probe into Hunter Biden for alleged tax fraud and potentially foreign lobbying violations, represents a counterintelligence threat," Yahoo News reported.
