Jen Psaki tells reporters she has NEVER heard claims that Hunter Biden's company was paid $3.5 million by the wife of ex-Moscow mayor
[MAIL] White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that she was 'not familiar' with the widely reported claim that Hunter Biden received $3.5million from the wife of Moscow's former mayor.
"Hunter Biden? Never heard of him"
Psaki was speaking at her daily press briefing when she was asked by the New York Post what the payment from Elena Baturina, widow of former Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov, was for.

'I'm not familiar with that claim. It doesn't sound like it's backed up by a lot of evidence. If you have evidence or specifics, I'm happy to discuss it further,' Psaki said.
Just like Oblahblah, she'll just learn about it from the news...except they're not discussing it either
'I'm not familiar with the report at all,' she added when asked about the report from the Senate Finance and Homeland Security committees that made the claim.

#1 [NYP] At the Sept. 29 presidential debate in Cleveland, Trump peppered Biden with questions about the payment.

“Just out of curiosity, the mayor of Moscow’s wife gave your son $3.5 million … What did he do to deserve it?” Trump said, also noting Hunter Biden’s reported $83,000 per month job on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma while the elder Biden controlled the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy.

Biden replied, “None of that is true.”

“Oh really, he didn’t get $3.5 million?” Trump said.

“It’s totally discredited — totally discredited,” Biden insisted.

“Well wait, he didn’t get $3.5 million, Joe? He got $3.5 million,” Trump said.

“That is not true,” Biden insisted.

At the second and final presidential debate in Nashville, Tenn., on Oct. 22, Trump launched into an attack on Biden over the report.

“Joe got $3.5 million from Russia. And it came through Putin, because he was very friendly with the former mayor of Moscow and it was the mayor of Moscow’s wife. He got $3.5 million. Your family got $3.5 million and you know, someday you’re gonna have to explain — why did you get three and a half [million]?” Trump said.

After Psaki’s briefing Wednesday, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) tweeted, “@PressSec heard you’re not familiar with my and @chuckgrassley report. Here is a link.”

#6 It's a f---ing WIRE TRANSFER, you moron. Flagged by the Treasurt Department. From the billionaire ex-wife of one of Russia's most notoriously corrupt politicians, the bandit mayor of Moscow.

One of 12 total payments to Hunter's and Devon Archer's and Kerry's stepson's corrupt shell company "BAK" (Biden - Archer - Kerry, get it?), which subsequently went bankrupt after blowing through $39 million in investors' funds.

Archer was investigated by the FBI, which revealed that he told investors at a board meeting that a London real estate company owned by that same corrupt individual, Elena Baturina, was providing $200 million - yep, $200,000,000 - to him and Biden for his ridiculous sham "tablet production company with unnamed Chinese investors"and that such funds would provide him with "a major liquidity event".

In other words, the money was going into his and Biden's pockets (or up their noses).

#12 "Shall we dance?" Psaki, terpsichorean,
To her psychically-challenged Proto-Corps(e)man
Did whisper, not spuriously.
Sniffed he - rather curiously -
"Pshaw! I rhapsodize not your thighs but your sweet-smelling tresses aurorean!"
