Several Republican senators are calling for a special counsel to investigate Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, over allegations surrounding the family’s business dealings overseas.
Republicans and President Donald Trump have focused on the business dealings of the Bidens while the Democrat was vice president, asserting that he may have engaged in an influence-peddling scheme to enrich his family. They have cited data apparently sourced from a laptop that allegedly belonged to Hunter Biden, which included an alleged message from a Ukranian gas executive to Hunter saying that he would meet the former vice president in Washington in April 2015. Biden’s campaign denied a meeting took place.
