White House spokesperson for oversight and investigations Ian Sams explained why Hunter Biden was using his father’s Wilmington, Delaware, home address where payments from Chinese investment fund CEO Jonathan Li were wired.

“Imagine them arguing that, if someone stayed at their parents’ house during the pandemic, listed it as their permanent address for work, and got a paycheck, the parents somehow also worked for the employer,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Mr. Sams is a special assistant to the president and senior adviser to the White House counsel’s office. “It’s bananas. Yet this is what extreme House Republicans have sunken to.”
