evidence: What is clear is that Hunter Biden did receive "a dollar from China." However, note that Welker asked "about the work your son has done in China and for a Ukrainian energy company when you were vice president." Biden might have been narrowly interpreting that question as confined to just that period of time — and the payments to Hunter Biden came after his father left office. [...] Joe Biden’s comment that Hunter Biden made no money in China was made in the course of a contentious debate in which he rebutted a number of false claims made by Trump. Yet he made his statement in response to a direct question from the moderator. It’s possible he purposely tailored his answer to just the period when he was vice president, but Biden has never been known for such parsing of language. The president tends to be sloppier in his phrasing — which often gets him into trouble. But the fact remains that Biden, during the debate, denied his son had made money in China. In court last week, his son has said he earned hundreds of thousands of dollars from Chinese business deals.
