evidence: Comer cited three "direct monthly payments to Joe Biden from Hunter Biden’s business entity" as evidence that Joe Biden profited from a deal Hunter Biden made with a Chinese energy company. But Hunter Biden’s attorney said the payments — which totaled a little over $4,000 — simply reflect Hunter Biden repaying his father, who bought him a truck while Hunter was in the throes of drug and alcohol addiction. That explanation appears to be corroborated by emails obtained from Hunter Biden’s laptop, as reported by the New York Post last year. [...] In an interview on NBC’s "Meet the Press" on Dec. 10, Republican Sen. Mitt Romney said Hunter Biden’s business deals were only possible by Hunter "trading on his father’s name," which Romney called "ugly and unsavory." But Romney said he had not seen any evidence yet that Joe Biden, himself, had committed high crimes and misdemeanors — the threshold for impeachment of a president. "I don’t see any evidence of that at all," Romney said. "I think before you begin an impeachment inquiry, you ought to have some evidence, some inclination that there’s been wrongdoing. And so far, there’s nothing of that nature that’s been provided."
