| Hunter Biden Knew 70% of ‘Anonymous' Art Buyer Identities, Contradicting White House |
| 2024-01-11 |
| [Breitbart] Hunter Biden knew the identities of 70 percent of his “anonymous” art buyers after the White House claimed Hunter was “not involved in the sale or discussions about the sale of his art,” and that Hunter will not be “informed” of “who is purchasing his art,” the House Oversight Committee found Tuesday. Hunter’s art sales worry Republicans due to the often nefarious nature of the art world:
The revelations show “no evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden,” House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said in a statement. “Biden had no knowledge of, or role in, these art sales.” House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) said the White House “appears to have deceived” about the art sales. “Hunter Biden’s gallerist never had any communication with the White House about such an agreement to make sure there was any sort of ethics compliance at all, and he provided information to the committee revealing how Hunter Biden’s amateur art career is an ethics nightmare,” he said in a statment obtained by Breitbart News. “The White House has a lot of explaining to do about misleading the American people.” Hunter’s art dealer, Georges Bergès, who owns a New York art gallery, recently sat for an interview with House impeachment inquiry. Hunter knew the vast majority of the individuals who bought his art, Bergès admitted to Comer. The buyers include Elizabeth Hirsch Naftali and Kevin Morris, the Messenger reported: The second source said Bergès never disclosed to Hunter Biden who the buyers of his artwork were. Bergès affirmed he did not target Democratic donors to sell Hunter Biden’s paintings and that most of the buyers were not donors. The first source confirmed that it appears Hunter Biden found out about the buyers on his own, without Bergès revealing the identities. Naftali paid $42,000 in February 2021, while Morris paid Hunter $875,000 for artwork in January 2023, the committee said. Naftali is a prominent Biden donor and Biden appointee to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad. It is unknown if Naftali’s purchase occurred before or after her appointment to that position.

| #2 Hunter is not an artist. Artists study and create art from a young age, learning techniques from teachers and practice. Hunter is a hobbyist. Art wasn’t what was being sold, we were. |
