CNN’s Burnett: New Biden Family Payment Evidence ‘Doesn’t Look Good’

On CNN’s OutFront broadcast Friday, host Erin Burnett said new developments related to the payment of the Biden family don’t look good.

While speaking to NYU law professor Ryan Goodman, Burnett asked,[O]On a certain level, just like a normal person, you hear this and it doesn’t sound right. There’s a man named John Robinson Walker, who got $3 million from a China-based company, and proceeded to deliver it to a group of people named Biden, one of them being Hunter Biden, another company belonging to President James Biden’s brother, and another sum of money to Beau Biden’s widow, Haley. So, again, from a layman, this doesn’t sound good, is it legally harmful? “

Goodman replied, “It doesn’t have to be legally harmful. When I look at all the facts alleged in the four-page memorandum it probably sounds immoral. But it’s hard to match it up with any illegal crime. And for all the reasons you say and more.” The fact that there’s a corridor indicates that the money doesn’t go directly to these members of the Biden family, but through this third person, the timing of that, two months later he steps down as vice president, and that’s happening with his family and one of the payments in 2015, and this started It looks like an abuse of influence, but it’s not illegal.”
