Antony Blinken “lied boldface to Congress” about Hunter Biden: Sen. Ron Johnson

GOP Senator Ron Johnson accused Secretary of State Antony Blinken of telling “boldface” lies when he testified under oath to Congress in 2020 that he never emailed Hunter Biden.

Johnson made the comments after emails between the president’s son and Blinken revealed that the two were in communication in 2015 while Blinken worked for then-President Barack Obama and Hunter was on the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma.

“We know that he lied boldface to Congress about never emailing Hunter Biden,” Johnson said on Fox’s Sunday Morning Futures. “My guess is he told a bunch of other lies.”

The emails from the summer of 2015 show that Hunter was trying to meet with Blinken, then Barack Obama’s deputy secretary of state, to get the official’s “advice” on things.

The revelation has spurred Johnson to allege that Blinken could have broken the law when speaking to Congress during an interview in December 2020 when he was nominated to become secretary of state under the Biden administration.

“You cannot trust Joe Biden,” Johnson said. “You cannot trust Hunter Biden. You can’t trust the Biden family. You can’t trust so many of the people that they have surrounded themselves with.”

Johnson called on his fellow lawmakers to issue a subpoena to get Blinken and his wife, Evan Ryan, to testify before Congress again and preserve their records.

“If he wants to proclaim his innocence, I doubt he’ll do that, but he must, and she must, preserve their records, their personal emails,” Johnson said. “When you get to the bottom of this, we need to show how corrupt these individuals are.”

Blinken conducted his 2015 correspondences with the Biden scion entirely from his private AOL email account rather than an official State Department address.

Records also indicate that Hunter also emailed Ryan in 2010, asking her if he can get Blinken’s private email. The trio also made plans to get coffee together afterward.

The decade-plus-long relationship between Blinken and Hunter made headlines last week after the House Judiciary Committee revealed that former CIA acting director Michael Morell testified in private that Blinken — then a Biden 2020 campaign adviser — “triggered” a letter from 51 ex-intelligence officials that sought to discredit The Post’s reporting on bombshell emails from the first son’s abandoned laptop.

Biden cited the letter at the second and final presidential debate against Donald Trump, alleging falsely that the information disclosed by The Post — and later broadly corroborated — was the result of a “Russian plant.”
