Sen. Ron Johnson says Antony Blinken ‘lied boldface’ to Congress about Hunter Biden

GOP Senator Ron Johnson accused Secretary of State Antony Blinken of telling “boldface” lies when he testified under oath to Congress in 2020 that he never emailed Hunter Biden.

Johnson made the comments after emails between the president’s son and Blinken revealed that the two were in communication in 2015 while Blinken worked for then-President Barack Obama and Hunter was on the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma.

“We know that he lied boldface to Congress about never emailing Hunter Biden,” Johnson said on Fox’s Sunday Morning Futures. “My guess is he told a bunch of other lies.”

The emails from the summer of 2015 show that Hunter was trying to meet with Blinken, then Barack Obama’s deputy secretary of state, to get the official’s “advice” on things.

The revelation has spurred Johnson to allege that Blinken could have broken the law when speaking to Congress during an interview in December 2020 when he was nominated to become secretary of state under the Biden administration.

“You cannot trust Joe Biden,” Johnson said. “You cannot trust Hunter Biden. You can’t trust the Biden family. You can’t trust so many of the people that they have surrounded themselves with.”
