Michigan Governor Suddenly "Loses Connection" During Interview When Asked About Hunter Biden Trial

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) claimed she lost connection during a remote interview when asked about the criminal trial against Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son.

The incident occurred during CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, as Dana Bash inquired about the case, now in its second week in a Delaware federal court.

Hunter Biden faces charges of committing three felonies related to his 2018 firearm purchase, including lying on a background check and possessing the firearm despite his addiction to crack cocaine, which disqualified him from ownership.

When asked about these charges, Whitmer responded, “Dana, are you there?” The segment ended as Whitmer claimed she could not hear Bash.

Later, Whitmer rejoined the show and, when asked again about the charges, said, “You know, I don’t know how to weigh in on that, Dana.”

During the earlier part of the interview, Whitmer had much to say about former President Donald Trump and his trial in Manhattan, which many experts believe may be overturned on appeal. “Under this democracy, no one’s above the law. Everyone is held into account,” Whitmer said of Trump. “And this former president is now a convicted felon,” adding that he “flouts the law and cheats and just got caught.”
