Rep. Dan Goldman: ‘Preposterous Premise’ to Suggest Joe Biden Shouldn’t Talk to Hunter's Associates

Goldman: “And I want to be very clear about one thing: He did describe that there were approximately 20 occasions over the course of their nearly decade-long business relationship where, when one of them called the other, that Hunter Biden would ask his father to say hello to whomever he was at dinner. He said there were some times when it was friends and some times when it was potential business partners or business partners, but the witness was unequivocal and stated very clearly that they never discussed any business on that phone conversations. There were niceties and there was a hello, and they would talk about the weather or whatever it was, but it was never any business.”

REPORTER: "Doesn't that contradict the President's statement then, that he never talked to any about a business associates? Clearly he talked about the weather whenever, but he said specifically that is never talked to them. Doesn't that contradict that?"

Goldman: "I don't know what his comment is and if we’re going to, well don’t I don’t think, that’s what he said. He never said that he has never spoken to anyone. He said that he had nothing to do with Hunter Biden's business dealings. if he says hello to someone that he sees his son with. Is he supposed to say, Hi son but no, I’m not going to say hello to the other people at the table or the other people on the phone. It’s kind of a preposterous premise to think that a father should not say hello to people that the son is at dinner with, and that is literally all the evidences.
