While the liberal broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) were trying to sweep the corruption accusations against former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter under the rug, Fox News correspondent Mark Meredith pulled out a microscope and shared what he found on Tuesday’s edition of Special Report.

“49-year-old Hunter Biden is no stranger to controversy,” Meredith noted at the top of his report before reminding viewers that Hunter was hired to the board of Ukraine oil company Burisma in 2014. He recalled that “at the time, reporters asked the Obama administration if it was a conflict of interest for then-Vice President Biden.”

Meredith followed up with this soundbite of then-White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, from May 2014, downplaying any suggestion of a conflict of interest:

JAY CARNEY [then-White House press secretary]: Hunter Biden and other members of the Biden family are obviously private citizens. Where they work is not reflect an endorsement by the administration. Or by the Vice President or President.

After noting that before working for Burisma, Hunter had his own “consulting firm” and was on the board of Amtrak (a favorite company of his father’s), Meredith spoke with Democratic strategist and Fox News commentator Kevin Walling, who said Hunter’s last name played a big part in getting the Ukraine gig.

“I’m the first one to say, I don't think Hunter, if his last name were Smith, would be on this board. Mainly because of that Biden connection, but I think two, the character that has become in terms of growing up as his father's son,” Walling explained.

Apparently, Joe Biden may not have been telling the truth about “never” speaking with his son “about his overseas business dealings.”

“Fox’s Tucker Carlson Tonight obtained this photo believed to be from 2014 showing the Bidens on a golf course with a Burisma border member,” Meredith reported. “President Trump’s son, Don Jr., suggested on Twitter the photo contradicts the former VP’s statement.”

Meredith noted that other Dems felt that Hunter’s other controversies might hamper his father’s campaign:

MEREDITH: Political pundits believe Hunter's public struggle with addiction and past business dealings remain an issue on the campaign trail. FORMER SENATOR ROBERT TORRICELLI (D-NJ): I like Joe and I think he's a very fine man. I think he serves his country amicably. But, some of this is inextricable.

While the liberal broadcast networks were busy covering for the Bidens to keep the focus on Trump, there were others who saw the problem. In a Fox News piece last week, Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer found, “Over a 16-month period, Burisma paid $3.1 million to a bank account associated with Hunter’s business.”
