The leading senator investigating Biden family corruption says Secretary of State Antony Blinken told a "boldface lie" when he said in a sit-down previous interview with lawmakers after the 2020 election that he did not communicate via email or text with Hunter Biden, the son of the then-future president.
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., made the allegation after he and Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley wrote a letter providing evidence that Blinken had "provided false testimony to Congress" in his transcribed congressional interview.
Johnson's and Grassley's May 1 letter to Blinken begins by stating, "On December 22, 2020, you provided false testimony to Congress during your voluntary transcribed interview."
Further on, after establishing that Blinken agreed it is a crime to lie to Congress, the letter states: "Despite this clear warning that it is a crime to make false statements to Congress and congressional staff, you did not provide truthful testimony during the interview when you denied corresponding with Hunter Biden via email when you served as Deputy Secretary of State under the Obama administration."
