🤭 President Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Monday stepped in to interrupt French President Emmanuel Macron to break some bad news to Biden — with journalists only feet away — about attempts to get Arab nations to produce more oil to lower record gas prices.

“Careful. Maybe we should just step inside … because of the cameras,” Sullivan said, motioning to journalists covering the G7 summit in Germany.

❗️ Fire at mall in Kremenchug occur due to detonation of western ammunition stored nearby: Russian MoD

❗️ Mall that caught fire in Kremenchug was non-functional, Russian MoD says

🧐 Joe Biden called Hunter Biden in late 2018 after reading a New York Times story detailing his son’s shady business dealings with a Chinese firm, CEFC China Energy, according to a voicemail cited by the Daily Mail.

🇨🇳 The Times' article had pointed out that the oil giant’s chairman, Ye Jianming, had been arrested, while Patrick Ho, who ran its nonprofit wing, had been convicted of bribery.

💬 “Hey pal, it’s Dad. It’s 8:15 on Wednesday night. If you get a chance just give me a call. Nothing urgent. I just wanted to talk to you,” said Joe Biden in the voicemail left on Hunter Biden's iPhone XS on 12 December, 2018, according to the report.

The audio had been discovered on a cell phone backup on his notorious ‘laptop from Hell’, discarded at a Delaware computer repair store in April 2019.

The older Biden proceeds to say in the voicemail:

💬 “I thought the article released online, it’s going to be printed tomorrow in the Times, was good… I think you’re clear. And anyway if you get a chance give me a call, I love you.”

🤔 This appears to be in stark contrast to President Biden’s vehement denial that he had any knowledge of his son’s murky business transactions.
