Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said on Monday that public exposure following a Congressional probe into Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings—while his father, Joe Biden, served as vice president—benefited national security by reducing the risk of blackmail by foreign powers.

Johnson, who chairs the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, told Just The News in an interview that public airing of the findings of the investigation, including that Hunter Biden had “cashed in” on his father’s name to make lucrative business deals around the world, helped to reduce “the counterintelligence, the extortion threat” that would have persisted absent the probe.
