Influence Peddling: Kevin Morris Got 'Access' to Biden White House After Big Payments to Hunter


 Ward Clark reporting for RedState 

On Thursday, House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-KY) issued a statement describing the transcribed interview with Hollywood lawyer and Democrat donor Kevin Morris. The full statement can be viewed here. The smoking gun? Morris, shortly after being introduced to Hunter Biden in 2019, began shoveling cash towards Hunter, initially with no agreement as to any quid pro quo — although Morris did gain access to the Biden White House.

Morris has spoken to President Joe Biden and received “access” to the Biden White House after keeping Hunter Biden afloat financially with at least $5 million worth of loans, Comer said in a press release following Morris’ transcribed interview. 

“Shortly after meeting Hunter Biden at a Joe Biden campaign event in 2019, Kevin Morris began paying Hunter Biden’s tax liability to insulate then-presidential candidate Joe Biden from political liability. Kevin Morris admitted he has ‘loaned’ the president’s son at least $5 million. These ‘loans’ don’t have to be repaid until after the next presidential election and the ‘loans’ may ultimately be forgiven,” Comer said.

Morris, it's significant to note, is financing a feature-length puff piece on Hunter Biden, presumably in an attempt to refurbish the First Son's badly tarnished reputation. That is in addition to paying Hunter's taxes and buying his "paintings."

If these aren't smoking guns, then there's no such thing. But wait! There's more!

“Since Kevin Morris has kept President Biden’s son financially afloat, he’s had access to the Biden White House and has spoken to President Biden. This follows a familiar pattern where Hunter Biden’s associates have access to Joe Biden himself. As we continue more interviews this month and the next, we will continue to follow the facts to understand the full scope of President Biden and his family’s corruption,” Comer added.

Morris has donated between $500,000 and $700,000 to Democrats, yet did not receive “access” to the White House until the Biden administration, Comer’s release states. He toured the White House with Hunter Biden and attended a wedding and July 4th picnic at the White House, according to the release.

The Biden administration has stonewalled any investigation into Hunter's peccadillos at every turn, but the evidence just keeps piling up, including evidence that Joe — at least, to the extent to which he is aware of what's going on — is involved and has met with Hunter's financier.

This prompts a few questions:

  1. Who in the Biden White House did Morris speak with during this wedding and July 4th picnic?
  2. What was discussed?
  3. To which Democrats did Morris donate money?
  4. Does the President have any idea what's going on with all this?

OK, that last question we can answer: "Probably not." But this transcribed interview, with a guy who has shoveled whopping big piles of cash towards Hunter Biden for reasons unknown and who is financing a soft-stroked "documentary" about Hunter — all this is just another piece in the puzzle, a puzzle that is coming together to produce a picture of one of the most deeply, fundamentally corrupt political families in recent history. 

And, I remind you, this is a history that includes Bill and Hillary Clinton.
