Despite criticizing Hunter’s actions, Murphy praised President Biden as a “president who led an unprecedented economic recovery.”

Murphy also said that he believes it is inappropriate for a member of a politician’s family to profit from their last name.

“The truth is when I look at the Trump family, it looks like they’ve made a business out of benefiting from the presidency of Donald Trump,” he said.

The senator mentioned the condition of former President Donald Trump’s wife Jared Kushner’s company received a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia after leaving the White House.

“Hunter Biden will be held accountable in court for any violations of the law that he has committed,” Murphy added when pressed about the former son’s business dealings.

The House Republicans have opened an investigation into the president, around the alleged interference from members of his family, especially Hunter Biden.

That study has not been officially approved, but Republicans have indicated they hope to hold a formal vote to enact it.

His lawyers offered to testify publicly, but the GOP shot that down.
