Speaking to reporters at the White House Tuesday afternoon, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre feigned ignorance when asked about a newly unearthed voicemail from President Joe Biden to his son -- Hunter Biden -- about his shady foreign business dealings.
DOOCY: "Why is there a voicemail of the president talking to his son about his overseas business dealings...?"

KJP: "I am not going to talk about alleged materials from the laptop."

.@PhilipWegmann: "You seemed to dismiss Peter's question about his conversation with his son Hunter Biden...how is that silence consistent with the president's promise to always level with the American public?"

Biden and his former press secretary, Jen Psaki, have repeatedly denied any discussion with Hunter about the deals. Given mounting evidence, this is clearly a lie.
Joe Biden: "I've never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings. Here's what I know -- I know Trump deserves to be investigated... You should be looking at Trump. Trump's doing this because he knows I'll beat him like a drum." https://t.co/yrMdiaBli8 pic.twitter.com/yGhipRo1ew

PSAKI: "The President does not get involved in the business dealings of his son. He's not involved in his son's business dealings." pic.twitter.com/JDYV7iGPGD
