"President Biden and official White House spokespersons have said repeatedly that the President had no knowledge of his son's business, nor did he discuss business with his son. However, on June 29, 2023, Ian Sams, a spokesperson for the White House Counsel's office, released a statement saying, "As we have said many times before, the President was not in business with his son." This statement deviates from previous White House statements and brings forward concerns that the President knew of his son's foreign business deals."
