Republicans react to Hunter Biden indictments and UAW announces historic auto strike
President Joe Biden delivered a speech on “Bidenomics” at Prince George’s Community College on Thursday. Biden’s economic speech came shortly after his son, Hunter Biden, was indicted by a grand jury over allegations he unlawfully owned a gun while addicted to drugs. But instead of commenting on his son’s legal troubles, the president chose to go after Republicans for their economic policies.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) questioned whether it was coincidental that U.S. Attorney David Weiss indicted Hunter Biden just two days after Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. On Thursday, Weiss brought an indictment against Hunter over allegations he unlawfully owned a gun. The indictment follows McCarthy announcing the impeachment inquiry on Tuesday, saying, “House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s actions. Taken together, these allegations paint a picture of corruption.”
