WASHINGTON — White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wouldn’t say Tuesday whether President Biden would ask his aides to return 2020 campaign contributions from accused cryptocurrency con man Sam Bankman-Fried, whom the Justice Department has charged with swindling investors out of at least $1.8 billion.
“The president received campaign donations [from Bankman-Fried]. Will the president return that donation? Does he call on all politicians … to return those funds?” asked Associated Press reporter Zeke Miller.
“So look, I’m covered here by the Hatch Act — [I’m] limited on what I can say and anything that’s connected to political contributions from here, I would have to refer you to the DNC,” Jean-Pierre said, citing the federal law that prohibits certain officials from advocating for candidates.
“I’m asking the president’s opinion, though,” Miller pressed.
“You asked me two questions: You asked me about will he return donations and then you asked me about his opinion. I’m answering the first part, which is I’m covered by the Hatch Act from here. I’m limited on what I can say. And I just can’t talk to political contributions or anything related to that — I cannot speak to that from here,” Jean-Pierre claimed.
When asked for her answer to the other question, regarding Biden’s opinion more generally, Jean-Pierre said, “I just cannot speak to this from here, even his thoughts.”
In the 2020 election, Bankman-Fried spent $10 million backing Biden’s campaign — much of that indirectly.

He should return the votes to the American people.
The donations will just be considered 10% for the Big Guy.
Bankruptcy manager needs to do aggressive claw backs.
That means “NO!”
They figure there will be no real consequences, other than having a Tucker type shake his finger at them online for a news cycle or two.
That will be called ‘Republican Violence’, and promptly ignored by the rest of the media.
Unless....Some repubican somewhere figures out how to force the DOJ to do it’s job.
give it back, don’t make them come get it...
The answer to the question is no. You would think that the billions laundered through Ukraine would be enough but you would be wrong.
Bull.

The black lesbian immigrant has been hiding behind the Hatch Act a lot lately. It’s complete BS. The question was legitimate and deserves an answer.
Will Biden and son Hunter return millions to the CCP?
It paid for the biggest and most diverse election fraud team ever (must go through the campaign finance documents for 2020, and see whom he hired; somebody beat me to it! Please! I don’t like work).
Biden is SOOOOOO corrupt. Of course he won’t return the $$$. The idiot thinks tax dollars are his to steal.
“You asked me two questions: You asked me about will he return donations and then you asked me about his opinion. I’m answering the first part, which is I’m covered by the Hatch Act from here. I’m limited on what I can say, other than oooh ooooh oooooh ooh ooh ooh. And I just can’t talk.” Jean-Pierre claimed.When asked for her answer to the other question, regarding Biden’s opinion more generally, Jean-Pierre said, “Unga bunga.”

Deep pockets and short arms.
Slow Joe never returns a payment. The big money players know once he’s been bought, he stays bought.
How could that mountain of cash be handed back to the original owners without handing back the very Presidency purchased by that ill-gotten capital?
Why would the corrupt SOB that hatched this plan want to return any of it?
