CNN anchor Jake Tapper accused GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of spreading "wild allegations" against Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, during Sunday morning's edition of State of the Union.

Hunter Biden's work for the energy company Burisma has garnered renewed scrutiny after it was revealed that President Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to look into the former vice president and his son during a phone call in July. The transcript of the call, which was released last week, confirmed a whistleblower complaint about the conversation.

"He gets hired by a company in an industry he has no experience in, and oh, that’s fine, and all you folks in the press and Democrats, oh, no problem here? Try taking that message to the American people," Jordan said. "And when they see the vice president’s son getting paid $50,000 a month in a field and industry he has no experience in, I wonder what Hunter Biden did in those board meetings?"

"That’s not what happened," Tapper responded. "The European Union, the Obama Administration, the International Monetary Fund, pro-clean government activists in Ukraine thought that the prosecutor was not prosecuting corruption."

They continued to argue over Jordan's characterizations until he finally claimed that, "Jake, you’re missing the fundamental point here."

Tapper later argued, "I think you came here and leveled a bunch of accusations and allegations about Hunter Biden — he was paid by a foreign company, yeah. He was paid by Burisma. But Joe Biden was trying to get a prosecutor who was not pursuing corruption fired."

"It’s amazing the gymnastics you guys will go through to defend —" the congressman countered before being cut off.

"It’s the facts," the host maintained. "I would think somebody who’s been accused of things in the last year or two would be more sensitive about throwing out wild allegations against people."
