Hunter Biden smiles and walks away from reporters asking about Twitter laptop story and GOP probes

Hunter Biden was seen glad-handing his way through Kennedy Center Honors events Sunday evening – but he was mum when reporters asked him about new developments in the saga over his laptop and looming Republican probes. 

The president’s son flew to the White House with his father Sunday afternoon aboard Marine One, with Melissa Cohen and two-year-old Beau. 

Then, he joined in a celebration in the East Room of the White House for Kennedy Center honorees, who included actor George Clooney and members of the band U2.

Hunter is often seated up front for such events, but on Sunday he sat near the back in a room full of notables, not far from where reporters gathered to view the event, providing a rare opportunity to for an attempted question.

But when a pair of reporters asked Hunter about Twitter boss Elon Musk’s decision to post ‘Twitter files’ – internal company documents about efforts to suppress a New York Post story about his infamous laptop – as well as House Republicans gearing up to probe his own business practices, the president’s son smiled and walked away. He didn’t otherwise respond.

The files also included efforts by members of the Biden campaign and the Trump White House to have Twitter execs review or take down individual tweets, following the explosive publication of information from the laptop.

Musk called the documents the ‘definition of election interference,’ and former President Trump on Saturday renewed his claims of election fraud that have been tossed out of court – then said it calls for ‘termination of all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution.’ That comment was immediately condemned by the White House and some GOP officials.

But there are indications that a handful of tweets the Biden camp wanted taken down included nude photos of Hunter. The company has a policy on images of nonconsensual nudity. 

Incoming House Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) says he plans to probe the president’s son after the GOP takes over the House next month.

Hunter had come into the event along with former D.C. Police Officer Michael Fanone, who was beaten by Capitol rioters on January 6. 

Later, Hunter and Cohen sat in the President’s box at the Kennedy Center along with first lady Jill Biden, where he was seated next to honoree Gladys Knight.

‘More to review from the Biden team,’ one staffer wrote on October 24, days ahead of the presidential election, listing five tweets. ‘Handled,’ another replied hours later. Three of the tweets the Biden camp demanded be deleted contained ‘Hunter Biden porn’ and photos of Biden’s genitalia, from the abandoned laptop, it has been claimed

Former President Trump called on the federal government to investigate Twitter’s alleged censorship effort over its probe of handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home

Trump also called for ‘termination’ of ‘all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,’ earning rebukes from many national politicians
