‘Can You Answer The Question?’: Kaitlan Collins Presses Abbe Lowell On Hunter Investigation ‘Linking Back’ To Joe Biden

CNN anchor and former Daily Caller reporter Kaitlan Collins pressed Hunter Biden’s lawyer Friday over whether he believes investigations into Hunter’s foreign business dealings may link back to his father, President Joe Biden.

Collins began by saying past investigations involving presidents tended to expand beyond the scope of their initial purpose. She asked Lowell whether the investigation targeting Hunter’s business dealings could eventually involve Joe Biden.

“Several of our last presidents, I think everyone except Obama, has had a special counsel or a special prosecutor,” Collins said. “I mean, these investigations have a way of ballooning and taking tacts that they did not initially have. Can you say, with certainty, that based on what you know, there’s no possibility that any of Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings will in any way connect back to his father, the president?”

Lowell argued many right-wing politicians and media members have desperately searched for information to tie Hunter’s business dealings to his father and have found nothing. He then pivoted to bashing David Weiss, appointed as special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe by Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday.

“But, can you answer the question, about whether or not, from what you know, if you’re confident that this won’t in any way link back to the president?” Collins pressed.

“What I know is what the evidence has revealed,” Lowell responded. “I mean, that is what people should focus on.” (RELATED: Here’s The Exact Moment Hunter Biden’s Immunity Deal Imploded)

Lowell said that over the past five years, people with the “power of subpoenas,” such as David Weiss, have looked into “every transaction” Hunter Biden has made.

“They came up with a decision that the only two charges to file were two misdemeanors and a gun-diverted charge. Not any of the other things that the MAGA right wing have been yelling, from ‘money-laundering,’ to ‘foreign corruption,’ to ‘foreign agent.’ None of that. It’s not as if it wasn’t looked into, and now the conclusion is reached,” Lowell said.

“So, do I know that will change in the future? It shouldn’t change. This is not a new special counsel — this is an investigation that’s gone on for five years,” he concluded.

The White House and Joe Biden have repeatedly denied the president had any involvement in Hunter’s foreign business dealings. “As we have said many times before, the President was not in business with his son,” White House Counsel spokesperson Ian Sams said in June. “As the President has said, he loves his son and is proud of him accepting responsibility for his actions and is proud of what he is doing to rebuild his life.”

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.
