Brooke Singman at Fox reports House GOP claims Hunter Biden lied under oath multiple times during congressional deposition. "The committee claims Hunter Biden mischaracterized his role working for his firm, Rosemont Seneca, and actually controlled bank accounts he claimed in his deposition he did not. The committee also said Hunter Biden claimed he did not help a foreign national obtain a visa, but the committee says emails between himself and his former associate Devon Archer show that the first son helped a man named Miguel Aleman with visa documents. The committee also pointed to Hunter Biden's claim that he sent a text to the wrong "Zhao," due to being under the influence, but WhatsApp records show Hunter Biden only spoke with one Zhao — Henry Zhao of Chinese energy firm CEFC." NYPo, House committee votes to release evidence that Hunter Biden ‘indisputably’ lied under oath to Congress. Didn't they read the fine print, it's only illegal for Republicans to lie to Congress.
Stacy McCain proposes we consider Cognitive Decline as a Policy Principle: Understanding Biden’s Confused Agenda "Would the policies be better if Joe Biden wasn’t senile?
