CNN host Abby Phillips got more than she bargained for after claiming she’s seen no evidence of President Joe Biden “enriching himself.”

The defense comes as Biden and his family spend their final vacation of his presidency in St. Croix, at the beachfront home of billionaires Bill and Connie Neville. Previous unpaid stays with rich supporters like the Nevilles have raised ethics concerns in the past, and critics accused Biden of allowing people to purchase influence over his administration.

But Phillips remains adamant that there is no proof that Biden has ever “enriched himself” from his positions of power. This was something Republican Rep. Mike Lawler was ready to fight about.

“I’m still waiting, after four years of Donald Trump, four years of a Joe Biden DOJ looking into these very things, I’m still waiting to see the proof, ” Phillips said.

“Well he can’t be charged, he’s the president,” Scott Jenning pointed out.

“I’m not talking about charges, I’m still waiting to see the proof of Joe Biden enriching himself, I take his brother and his son, perhaps,” she conceded.

This is where Lawler stepped in.

“I’ll give you the direct line. A Chinese company transferred money to a shell company owned by Hunter and Jim Biden, that then transferred money directly to Jim and Sarah Biden’s shell company, that then transferred the money to Jim and Sarah’s personal account, who then immediately wrote a check for $40,000 to Joe Biden. So to say that there was no evidence is not true,” he said as the panel began to engage in cross-talk.

“Trump was president for four years. He wanted to charge Joe Biden. Why did the charges not come? And I think that still remains an open question. If there is something illegal happening here, there should be charges on the basis of what you’re saying, and there have not been,” Phillips said, suddenly interested in talking about charges.

“Well, he just pardoned Hunter for an 11-year time period,” the representative pointed out.

“He just wiped the slate! Jim will be next,” Jennings exclaimed.

Phillips then cut to break, but X users kept up the discourse:
