White House Remains Mum on Joe Biden's Voicemails to Son Hunter Biden About Business Dealings
The White House has dodged questions regarding U.S. President Joe Biden's leaked voicemails to son Hunter Biden about his overseas business dealings.
The Daily Mail reported that White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday that she would not comment on anything about Hunter's controversial laptop when asked about the 2018 voicemail of the president discussing his son's deal with Chinse oil moguls.
Jean-Pierre told Fox News' Peter Doocy during her daily briefing that she will not talk about "alleged materials from the material."
Biden has consistently maintained that he has no involvement with Hunter's international business despite what the leaked voicemail suggested.
Biden administration officials and those in the president's circle have dubbed the materials from Hunter's alleged laptop as disinformation. However, intelligence officials have said that neither the laptop nor the materials on it are part of any disinformation campaign as far back as October 2020, according to a Fox News report.
Hunter is involved in a federal investigation partly by Suspicious Activity Reports about suspicious foreign transactions.
One source familiar with the probe involving the president's son noted that the SARs were pertaining to funds from "China and other foreign nations."

Joe Biden Leaked Voice Mail
A voicemail first reported by Daily Mail revealed that Biden spoke with Hunter about his business dealings with China despite the president repeatedly denying personally that he ever talked about Hunter's foreign ventures with his son.
A voicemail that was left on Hunter's iPhone showed that Biden called his son in December 2018, saying he wanted to talk to him after reading a New York Times article about Hunter's dealings with CEFC.
Hunter has reportedly struck a deal with the Chinese company worth millions of dollars after priding himself on his family connections.
In the Times' 2018 story, CEFC chairman Ye Jianming had been reported to be arrested along with his top lieutenant Patrick Ho.
The Times reported at the time that when Ho was arrested, he called the president's brother, Jim Biden, who told the paper that he believed the call was meant for Hunter.
Biden called his son and left a voicemail after seeing the story online. In the voicemail, the president said that the story will be printed tomorrow and that he thinks his son is "clear."
Federal agents were monitoring Ho as a potential spy for China, according to a copy of a warrant.
Investigation on Hunter Biden
The U.S. attorney in Delaware is investigating Hunter's finances, with reports that he recently cut the Internal Revenue Service a check for about $2 million in unpaid taxes.
Emails found in Hunter's laptop include one that indicates Biden repeatedly met with his son's business partners while he was still vice president, according to a New York Post report.
Hunter's attorney Chris Clark said that Hunter divested a 10% stake in BHR partners after Biden's November summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Other photos and emails found on the laptop suggested that Biden hosted his son and a group of Mexican business associates in 2015 at the vice president's official residence.
