   White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre blew up Thursday when   
   pressed by a reporter on President Biden "lying" about past   
   interactions with his son Hunter's business associates, declaring   
   there was "no evidence" the president did anything wrong.   
      
   Jean-Pierre also lashed out at House Republicans over the vote to   
   approve an official impeachment inquiry against Biden, accusing them   
   of "wasting their time," but the interaction began with New York   
   Post reporter Steven Nelson asking why Biden interacted with so many   
   of his family's business associates, which contributed to the   
   inquiry's launch.   
      
   "What we're seeing from House Republicans is wasted time. And it is   
   certainly, you know, a baseless political slant. That's what we're   
   seeing. And they're leaving. House Republicans are leaving this week   
   to go, you know, enjoy a nice holiday. Right? As most Americans   
   should. But what happened to the funding to Ukraine?" Jean-Pierre   
   responded.   
      
   HUNTER BIDEN CLAIMED HE DIDN'T ‘STAND TO GAIN ANYTHING’ IN   
   CONTROVERSIAL BURISMA ROLE DESPITE MAKING MILLIONS   
      
   She listed a number of other policy topics, including the border and   
   potential government shutdown next year, and claimed Republicans had   
   not done anything to help Democrats address those problems.   
      
   "There's been zero evidence, zero evidence. You can ask me about   
   engagement and what the president has done with his family in   
   conversation. But there's no evidence," Jean-Pierre said.   
      
   Nelson attempted to push back, but Jean-Pierre stopped him.   
      
   "Wait, wait. But there's no evidence. There is no evidence that the   
   president has done wrongdoing. There's none. Absolutely none. None.   
   And that is just a fact. You've heard it from Republicans   
   themselves. So they're wasting their time. Instead of doing the work   
   on behalf of the American people, they go after the president's   
   family. But that's a waste of time," she said.   
      
      
   Nelson noted that there was an easy counter to her claim, that there   
   was evidence to show Biden had interacted with those associates, and   
   that he was "lying" about it.   
      
   "The president is not lying about anything as it relates to what   
   House Republicans are trying to do. It is baseless. It is a   
   political stunt. And it has not proven that the president has done   
   anything wrong, anything wrong. And so they are wasting their time.   
   They are wasting the American people's time," Jean-Pierre responded.   
      
   "What they should be doing is the things that I just listed. They're   
   going to go home, but they haven't taken care of what— We need to   
   make sure that we are helping Ukraine. There's going to be   
   potentially a shutdown next month. They have done nothing, nothing   
   to avert that shutdown," she said before moving on to another   
   reporter.   
      
      
   Last week, Biden was pressed during a press conference about why he   
   interacted with "so many" of his son and brother's foreign business   
   associates, but he denied having any such interactions, despite   
   evidence to the contrary.   
      
   "I'm not going to comment. I did not, and it's just a bunch of   
   lies," Biden responded. "They're lies. I did not. They're lies."   
      
   One of Hunter's former business associates reacted to President   
   Biden's comments by telling Fox News Digital that his claim was   
   "complete malarkey" and said there is "plenty of evidence" to refute   
   his denial.
