CNN Fact-Checks Biden Impeachment Inquiry Hearing: ‘No Evidence That Any of These Millions, Even a Single Penny of It, Went to Joe Biden Directly’

EXCERPT:

DALE: “It is, Jake. This is one of those cases where you have to listen very closely to the language of the politician who’s using it. So, the Bidens and their associates. Why not just say Joe Biden got $20 million? Well, because they found no evidence that any of these millions, even a single penny of it, went to Joe Biden directly. You go a step further, why not just say the Biden family? Why the Bidens and their associates? Well, because millions of this money, we don’t know exactly how much, but millions went to people who weren’t even part of the family, let alone Joe Biden himself. And I’ll add that the Washington Post also did a pretty solid analysis where they questioned the use of the phrase ‘shell companies,’ noting that many of these companies seem to have legitimate publicly stated business interests. They weren’t, you know, shells created for some mysterious reason. So, narrowly accurate, the number, the $20 million figure seems right, but who it applies to is I think is a real question.”
