GWU law professor Jonathan Turley comments on the "taunting" response from the Biden White House to Congressional Republicans' impeachment inquiry regarding the overseas business, this week on the "FOX News Sunday" panel.
"The president stands contradicted. I mean, he clearly lied when he said he had no knowledge of his son's business dealings. He was also clearly aware of and influence-peddling scheme and was the focus of it," Turley said. "What the Democrats have done successfully is create this false narrative he has to receive money directly for this to be corruption or bribery."
JONATHAN TURLEY: I thought was quite shocking to see the level of taunting of the House. This was one of the most important things that the Congress and the president could be involved in, an impeachment inquiry. And actually, when I testified in the Biden impeachment hearing I noted that [WH counsel's office spokesman Ian] Sams and others might be tripping some wires here. This is what got the Nixon White House in trouble, when the White House counsel and other offices got involved in the narrative.
There are serious questions here. There are 10 questions presented here. But he does not appear to answer them.
But the president stands contradicted. I mean, he clearly lied when he said he had no knowledge of his son's business dealings. He was also clearly aware of and influence-peddling scheme and was the focus of it. But what the Democrats have done successfully is create this false narrative that he has to receive money directly for this to be corruption or bribery. Federal courts have rejected that. They have said repeatedly that money going to family members is corruption.
