In a startling disclosure that has sent ripples through the political landscape, it has come to light that the art dealer responsible for selling Hunter Biden’s paintings had personal interactions with President Joe Biden. This revelation stands in stark contrast to previous assurances from the White House that the dealings surrounding Hunter Biden’s art were conducted at arm’s length to avoid any potential conflicts of interest.
The art world and political spheres collided when it was revealed that George Berges, the owner of prestigious art galleries in New York and Berlin, not only sold artwork by the president’s son from 2020 to 2023 but also claimed to have been in direct contact with the elder Biden. These interactions included both a phone call and a meeting at the White House, raising questions about the integrity of the ethics agreement that was purportedly in place.
The White House’s “ethics” agreement regarding Hunter's art was a sham.
The White House never facilitated any ethics agreement, despite saying the opposite. Hunter's art dealer even told us he never communicated with the White House.

The narrative spun by the administration was one of ethical transparency, with claims that Hunter Biden and his family would remain oblivious to the identities of the buyers of his art. However, testimony suggests that this may not have been the case. It has been alleged that Hunter Biden likely knew the identity of approximately 70% of the purchasers, many of whom were Democrat donors, undermining the narrative of an ethical firewall.
The initial contract between Hunter Biden and his art dealer contained an unusual request for the artist to be informed about who was buying his pieces. This request is unorthodox in the art industry, where confidentiality is often maintained to prevent undue influence or the appearance of impropriety, especially when the artist is connected to a prominent political figure.

Critics are now voicing their concerns louder than ever, pointing to this situation as indicative of a pattern of questionable practices within the Biden family. The term “grift” has been used to describe the family’s actions, suggesting a history of leveraging their political status for personal gain.
The House of Representatives has initiated an impeachment investigation, and Hunter Biden has been summoned to testify before Congress. The scrutiny of these art sales is just one facet of the broader examination into the activities of the Biden family.
As the story unfolds, the public is left to wonder about the true extent of the ethical breaches that may have occurred. With the president’s son at the center of this controversy, the implications for the administration are potentially severe.
The situation continues to develop, and the coming days are likely to bring more information to light. As the investigation proceeds, the American people will be watching closely to see whether accountability will be enforced and whether the principles of ethical governance will be upheld.
