Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, suggested that the allegations against Hunter Biden are likely why former President Barack Obama didn’t encourage Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to run for president.

In an interview with Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” Johnson described the controversy surrounding Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings as “a huge mess” that is “not going away, particularly if [former] Vice President Biden becomes the president.”
