(UnitedVoice.com) – During former President Donald Trump’s administration, Democrats often criticized him and his children for their business deals. When Joe Biden ran for president in 2020, he claimed there would be a wall between him and his family’s businesses. That reportedly turned out not to be the case.
In 2021, Hunter Biden announced plans to sell his paintings. Some of them were priced at half a million dollars. There were immediate concerns that people would buy the paintings in an attempt to receive favors from the Biden administration. The White House claimed that would not be the case and promised there was a procedure in place to ensure the buyers were vetted and only the art gallery knew their identities.
According to a bombshell report by Business Insider, that didn’t happen. Hunter Biden learned the identities of at least two of the people who bought his artwork. Not only that, but one of the buyers is also someone who was appointed to an executive branch position.
Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali purchased one of the president’s son’s pieces of art. She’s a Democratic donor who gave $29,700 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 2023. She also donated $13,414 to Biden’s campaign this year.
Eight months after Hunter’s first art show, the president appointed Hirsh Naftali to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad. When the administration, Hirsh Naftali, and Hunter Biden were asked to clarify the timeline and whether the younger Biden weighed in on her appointment, nobody responded.
If Hirsh Naftali purchased the artwork before her appointment and Hunter Biden knew about it, it could confirm the ethical concerns people had prior to the art show. Of course, it could all be one big coincidence, and maybe Hirsh Naftali really enjoys Hunter’s work as an artist. Since nobody will respond to questions or produce a timeline, the American people are being left in the dark.
