White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday that the president's son Hunter Biden's art show with potential "anonymous" buyers is "reasonable."
"He's not going to have any conversations related to the selling of art," Psaki said during her daily press briefing. "That will be left to the gallerist, as was outlined in the agreement that we announced just a few weeks ago. We believe this is a reasonable system that has been established that allows for Hunter Biden to work in his profession within appropriate safeguards."
"We won't know who the buyers are," Psaki responded. "Hunter Biden won't know who the buyers are. So I think the origin I think of this line of questioning, which is understandable, is about whether this would provide a situation for undue influence. But we won't know who they are, so there's no scenario where they could provide influence."
"I think we have set up a system, which we feel is appropriate, has appropriate safeguards," she said. "We believe that Hunter Biden, just like any child of a president, should be able to pursue their professions and their passions. And any selling of the art would be through the gallerist."
