In a recent development, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has claimed that the Biden White House “deceived” the American people in regards to Hunter Biden’s controversial art deals. Comer’s statement comes after the committee interviewed Hunter Biden’s art gallerist Georges Bergès and gained new information about who purchased the first son’s paintings.
“The Biden White House appears to have deceived the American people about facilitating an ethics agreement governing the sale of Hunter Biden’s art,” Comer’s statement claimed on Tuesday. “Hunter Biden’s gallerist never had any communication with the White House about such an agreement to make sure there was any sort of ethics compliance at all, and he provided information to the committee revealing how Hunter Biden’s amateur art career is an ethics nightmare.”
According to Comer, the White House agreement governing the sale of Hunter Biden’s art is a “sham.” He claims that wealthy Democratic party donors purchased a “vast majority” of Hunter Biden’s art work, and that Hunter knew the individuals who purchased roughly 70% of his art. Comer also revealed that one of the buyers, Elizabeth Hirsch Naftali, was appointed by President Biden to a prestigious commission shortly after she purchased Hunter Biden’s art for tens of thousands of dollars.
“The White House has a lot of explaining to do about misleading the American people,” the statement concluded.
These revelations have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the possibility of a pay-to-play scheme. Comer has demanded an ethics investigation and a committee hearing to examine the suspicious activity. The White House has not yet responded to these allegations.
The controversy surrounding Hunter Biden’s art deals has been ongoing for over two years, and it remains to be seen how this latest development will impact the situation. As the investigation continues, it is important for the public to remain informed and for the truth to be uncovered.
