'Partly cover-up': Maria Bartiromo suggests charges against Hunter are a deep state plot

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo suggested that the deep state was covering for President Joe Biden by bringing new charges against his son, Hunter.

"I'm just wondering if the timing of this indictment on Hunter Biden is partly cover-up because the DOJ had this information," Bartiromo asked Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) on Sunday. "They've been sitting on this for a long time, but they decided to indict Hunter Biden the weekend before he was supposed to go under oath in a closed-door testimony."

"I totally agree," Donalds replied. "The timing is suspect."

"The only reason that it took so long for him to be indicted is because his last name is Biden and because House Republicans uncovered this web of corruption surrounding Joe Biden that implicates Hunter Biden and James Biden," he added.
