His son’s paintings Joe Bidena former businessman who is now involved in art, are today at the center of a congressional investigation by Republicans, who accuse the family of the American president of “trades on his contacts and influence.”
The head of a powerful Commission of House of Representatives asks the gallery where Hunter Biden’s works are on display to give Congress the list of buyers. “Your agreement with Hunter Biden raises serious ethical issues and raises the question of whether the Biden family is once again peddling its contacts and influenceRepublican James Comer says in this letter. He also called the owner of the gallery, George Burgess, to testify before Congress in February.
Hunter Biden, as relayed by the Athens News Agency, is one of the favorite targets of Republicans who, now having the majority in Parliament, intend to start a series of investigations against the American president. Republicans point out mainly that industrialists or entrepreneurs are at risk to buy Hunter Biden’s works with the sole purpose of gaining the favor of the White House.
According to James Comer, some works on display at the George Burgess Gallery in New York cost up to $225,000. “Who would pay huge sums of money for Hunter Biden’s works that are inherently worthless? It’s definitely not Picasso”he tweeted.
The gallery declined to comment
The gallery, contacted by AFP, declined to comment. In recent days, he has been promoting Hunter Biden’s paintings on social networking sites.
The Biden administration, keen to appear unrepentant on ethics issues, has been asked several times about the artistic career of the president’s son, a former lawyer and businessman. The president’s eldest son has been criticized, among other things, for the jobs he took on in Ukraine and China when his father was Barack Obama’s vice president (2009-17).
