Democratic presidential candidate Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. has declined to comment on the corruption allegations surrounding the Biden family, stating that he prefers to focus on issues and values rather than engaging in personal attacks.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Kennedy dismissed the controversies surrounding Hunter Biden and the claims made by House Republicans regarding foreign money funneled to the Biden family. When asked if alleged corruption should be a concern for voters, Kennedy acknowledged that it is an issue that people should be concerned about, but emphasized that it is not the main focus of his campaign.
Kennedy's stance on corruption allegations mirrors that of Senator Bernie Sanders during the 2016 presidential election, when he famously dismissed Hillary Clinton's email scandal during a primary debate. Sanders declared, "The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails!"
The scrutiny against the Biden family has intensified in recent weeks, particularly after Hunter Biden reached a plea deal with the Justice Department over tax violations and a gun charge. Two IRS whistleblowers have alleged that Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss sought to bring more severe charges against Hunter Biden in California and Washington, D.C., but was denied. One of the whistleblowers, IRS special agent Gary Shapley, claimed that investigators were discouraged from looking into potential financial ties between Hunter Biden and his father.
Another FBI whistleblower has claimed that the Department of Justice was informed about a possible bribery scheme involving Joe Biden and a foreign entity during his time as Vice President. House Republicans have previously released findings suggesting financial connections between various Biden family members and countries such as China and Romania through different bank accounts and shell companies.
These recent developments have raised questions about whether President Biden allowed his family to profit from their name during his vice presidency and after leaving office. There are also concerns about whether Biden himself received any kickbacks, as suggested by an email mentioning a deal that would give "10% for the big guy."
It is important to note that Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss has denied the claims made by the IRS whistleblowers, despite The New York Times independently verifying one of the claims. The situation remains contentious, with ongoing debates about the extent of the Biden family's involvement in alleged corruption.
