"I never talked business with anybody," Biden said on Wednesday when asked about Hunter Biden's business associate Devon Archer's testimony to Congress.
Biden claimed the accusation is not true and described the question posed by Fox News' Peter Doocy as "lousy." When confronted over his response, Biden doubled down and claimed the question was bad because "it's not true."
Last week, Archer told the US House Oversight Committee that then-Vice President Joe Biden was often put on speakerphone by Hunter Biden and his Burisma business associates. However, Archer made clear to the committee that Joe Biden never discussed business on those occasions.
According to Archer, he recalled Hunter Biden put his father Joe Biden on speakerphone with Burisma executives about 20 times, including during dinners in Paris and Beijing.
