Twitter had a field day with Goldman’s comments.
Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) accidentally admitted Joe and Hunter Biden talked business, contradicting Joe Biden’s long-held position, while grilling IRS whistleblowers on Wednesday.
From Fox News:
During testimony from two IRS whistleblowers in a House Oversight and Accountability Committee on Wednesday, Goldman pressed IRS supervisor Gary Shapley about his testimony that Hunter Biden told his dad he “may be trying to start a company or try do something with these guys.” Goldman then told Shapley that this “doesn’t sound much like Joe Biden was involved in whatever Hunter Biden was doing with the [Chinese oil and natural gas company] CEFC if Hunter Biden is telling him that he’s trying to do business with them, does it?”
Shapley agreed but pointed out that it shows Joe Biden was talking to his son about business.
“That is true, Hunter Biden does try to do business,” Goldman interrupted. “That’s correct.”
Conservatives and even a Democrat law professor on social media saw the exchange as a tacit admission that President Biden’s claim he “never” spoke to Hunter Biden about any business dealings was not accurate.
Conservative pundits pounced on Goldman’s admission.
“Democrat Dan Goldman, coverup artist for the Biden crime family, made the case for the appointment of a special counsel (not that he needed to, since the case is and has been overwhelming),” conservative radio host Mark Levin tweeted.

“And the funniest thing is how smug Goldman is while stepping on all these rakes,” Washington Free Beacon reporter Chuck Ross tweeted.

“Rep. Goldman just tripped the wire on Joe Biden,” tweeted Fox News contributor and law professor Jonathan Turley, a registered Democrat. “In trying to grill the whistleblowers to show that there is no evidence that Joe Biden was involved, he elicited an answer that the witnesses established that Joe Biden did discuss business deals of Hunter with the Chinese.”
