President Joe Biden hasn’t had much luck or made much of an effort in making good on his call for unity.
But his son Hunter has.
In a new survey shared with Secrets, 68% agree that the Justice Department should appoint an independent special counsel to investigate allegations that the president’s son engaged in shady international business and tax dealings while his father was vice president. Included was the president’s brother James, whose healthcare ventures are also in the legal spotlight.
The survey from TIPP Insights is bad news for the Bidens. Not only do 85% of Republicans want a special prosecutor separate from the FBI and the Biden administration appointed, but so do 65% of Democrats and 65% of independents.
But the survey analysis suggested that Democrats and Republicans might have different reasons for backing a special investigation.
“The Biden family matter has been in the minds of the country for a long time. Burisma has become a household name. President Trump raised the issue on a phone call to Ukraine in 2019, which led to his impeachment investigation. The Republican-controlled Senate acquitted President Trump on two articles of impeachment,” read the poll analysis.
“Democrats may want to see the Bidens acquitted by an independent counsel to find closure on the issue; Republicans may see the issue as presenting a window of opportunity to study Biden family affairs. Either way, the public has clearly stated they support the appointment of a special counsel,” said TIPP.
