Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy pressed White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on President Joe Biden’s alleged voicemail about his son’s business dealings in China.

An alleged 2018 voicemail first obtained by the Daily Mail recently circulated of Biden talking to his son, Hunter, about a New York Times article covering his business dealings in China, telling him he is likely “in the clear.” The president has repeatedly said he has never spoken to his son about his business dealings.

“Why is there a voicemail of the president talking to his son about his overseas business dealings if the president has said he’s never spoken to his son about his overseas business dealings?” Doocy asked.

“First, I’ll say that what the president said stands, so if that’s what the president said that is what stands,” Jean-Pierre said.

“He left a voicemail about a New York Times article concerning Hunter Biden’s business dealings and says, ‘I think you’re clear,'” Doocy pressed. “How is that him not talking to his son about his overseas business dealings?”

Jean-Pierre said she will not discuss “alleged materials” about Hunter’s laptop. The Fox News reporter asked if she was disputing the voicemail recording. (RELATED: Doocy Presses Psaki On Whether Biden’s ‘Minister Of Truth’ Will Censor News Related To Hunter Biden’s Laptop)

“I am not going to talk about alleged materials on the laptop,” she repeated. “It is not happening.”

“You’re refuting, then, that is not—” Doocy began.

“Peter, I refer you to his son’s representative,” she interjected.

RealClearPolitics White House reporter Phillip Wegmann followed up by questioning the consistency of her silence to Biden repeatedly saying he did not communicate with his son regarding his business dealings overseas.

“You seemed to dismiss Peter’s question about his conversation with his son, Hunter Biden, with regards to his business dealings,” Wegmann said. “I’m wondering how is that silence consistent with the president’s promise to always level with the American public, because in public he says he hasn’t discussed these business dealings and then at least according to the voicemail that has been obtained by the Daily Mail and Washington Examiner, it certainly seems like he was seeking to do exactly that, have a conversation about these business dealings. Is he leveling with the American public on this?”

Jean-Pierre repeated that she cannot discuss materials from Hunter’s laptop and referred him to his representative.

CEFC China Energy wired nearly $4.8 million to Hunter’s law firm through September 2018, according to reports by the Senate Finance Committee and Senate Homeland Security Committee.

His laptop was abandoned inside a Delaware repair shop in 2019, where the owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, then handed the hard drive to the FBI. The computer contained receipts and emails detailing his dealings in China and with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, where the president’s son served on the Board of Directors.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
