Senate Republican: Blinken "lied boldface" to Congress about Hunter Biden

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.”

[There was a time when a high-ranking official who lied to Congress and/or investigators would either get prosecuted or at least see his professional life come to an end. These days, it just means you get a gig at CNN. Right, James Clapper and Andrew McCabe? Also, just to scratch my pedant itch, it’s *baldface* lies, not *boldface* lies. I feel like Walter Sobchak at times like these: “Am I the only one who cares about the rules??” *sigh* — Ed]
