Hannity: Hunter Biden emails expose 'damning information', 'corrupt practices' of Biden family
Former VP is 'lying straight to your face' when he denies discussing overseas business with son, Fox News host claims
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The New York Post's latest report about Hunter Biden is "an avalanche of damning information" that speaks to the corrupt practices "of the Biden family business," Sean Hannity told viewers Wednesday night.
The "Hannity" host then played a clip of Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, denying "ever discuss[ing] with my son or brother or anyone else" and promising an "absolute wall" between personal and presidential business if elected.
"What you just watched," Hannity said, "is Biden lying straight to your face."

"In December 2013, Hunter Biden flew with his father aboard Air Force Two. They took a trip to China," he said. "Hunter admitted he met with Chinese businessmen during the trip ... Hunter had zero experience in the country of China, zero experience with Chinese investments. But only 10 days later ... Hunter signed on to a very lucrative, sweetheart deal with a Chinese state-backed investment fund, netting Hunter a massive amount of money and equity and revenue and a partnership with the Bank of China."

In an interview with ABC News' "Good Morning America" last year, Hunter Biden claimed "nobody buys this idea that I was unqualified" to sit on the board of Ukrainian energy giant Burisma.

"I think that I had as much knowledge as anybody else that was on the [Burisma] board -- if not more."
