Senator Chuck Grassley joined America’s Newsroom on Fox News with Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino to discuss his multi-year investigation into Hunter and James Biden’s financial entanglements with the Communist Chinese regime.
Below are highlights from the interview. You can watch the full segment here.
On Why This Investigation is Necessary
“What I and Senator Johnson have done at this point is bring out the facts and the bank records that prove there was a close relationship between Hunter Biden, maybe James Biden, and businesspeople in China that have close contact with the Communist Party and with the military there. […] Is there any sort of blackmail opportunity for China against the United States because of those close working relationships? I say it’s concerning. […] when you have people high up in the Chinese government and business community, and when you know what they want to do — they want ins in the United States for their own political benefit — then that’s concerning.”
On Waking Up the Liberal Media
“But here’s the problem that ought to bother all of us — and it’s good the press is willing to admit that they were wrong over the last several years on this issue — but I expect journalists […] to be the policemen for our political system and to not only rely on Chuck Grassley and [Ron] Johnson to get these facts out. The media should have been working on these over a long period of time. In fact, they were in cahoots with Democrat Senators that were trying to say Johnson and I were just disseminating Russian disinformation.”
On Sen. Schumer Poisoning Supreme Court Well
“I believe that it’s a sad commentary that for the last 20 years, it has become such a political thing to decide whether Republican or Democrat-appointed people get on the Supreme Court. It really started with Senator Schumer in 2001 or 2002, when he got a bunch of his caucus together and Laurence Tribe, and they decided we could bring judicial philosophy into it rather than just ‘Are these people qualified or not qualified?’ like it ought to be to get on the Supreme Court. That’s what he’s done. He’s poisoned the well.”
