"GOP Memo Challenges Necessity of Direct Payments to President Biden for Corruption Allegations"

House Republicans investigating President Biden's family's foreign business dealings argue that they don't need to show direct payments to the president to demonstrate corruption. A memo released by House Oversight and Accountability Republican staff outlines millions of dollars from foreign sources that flowed to Hunter Biden and his associates, including payments from Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan during Joe Biden's vice presidency. The memo does not identify any direct payments to President Biden or that he directly benefited from them. Republicans are using testimony from Hunter Biden associate Devon Archer to support their claims, alleging that President Biden's participation in conversations with his son's business associates shows his knowledge of and involvement in the dealings. Democrats dismiss the memo and accuse Republicans of changing their investigatory standards.
