Biden said he had “great faith in Hunter,” adding that he disagreed with the charges against him.
“It’s used to getting me, I think it’s kind of a mean game, but see, it is what it is and he’s a grown man,” said Biden. “He’s the smartest guy I know in sheer, intellectual capacity, and as long as he’s good, we’re good.”
When Colbert pressed again whether Biden could work with Republicans who attacked Hunter Biden, Biden said he could.
“If the country benefits, then it will. I really mean it, ”Biden said. “Because look, there’s so much at stake and the American people, I think they can smell the phoniness, smell what’s true and not true.”
Hunter Biden unveiled last week that the American law firm in Delaware is investigating its taxes. Investigations into his business dealings abroad reportedly began in 2018.
The elected president went on to say Wednesday that he is “sure” that his son has done nothing wrong.
