The Biden administration may have lied to the public about an ethics agreement related to Hunter Biden’s art career‚ according to House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comers (R-KY). The committee on Tuesday interviewed Georges Bergès‚ Hunter’s art gallerist‚ and asked him about who was purchasing Hunter’s art and what his relationship was with the White House. According to Comer‚ Bergès said that he never made any ethics agreement with the White House‚ which has claimed there was an ethics agreement between the gallerist and the Biden administration to not discuss the sales.  “The Biden White House appears to have deceived the American people about facilitating an ethics agreement governing the sale of Hunter Biden’s art. Hunter Biden’s gallerist never had any communication with the White House about such an agreement to make sure there was any sort of ethics compliance at all‚ and he provided information to the committee revealing how Hunter Biden’s amateur art career is an ethics nightmare‚” Comer said.  Bergès said that Hunter “knew the identities of the individuals who purchased roughly 70% of the value of his art‚ including Democrat donors Kevin Morris and Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali‚” according to Comer.  “The vast majority of Hunter Biden’s art has been purchased by Democrat donors‚ one of whom was appointed by President Biden to a prestigious commission after she purchased Hunter Biden’s art for tens of thousands of dollars shortly after Joe Biden’s inauguration. The White House has a lot of explaining to do about misleading the American people‚” Comer said.  Naftali‚ who paid Hunter Biden for a piece of his hyper-expensive artwork‚ was appointed by President Joe Biden to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Morris‚ who previously helped pay Hunter’s unpaid taxes‚ reportedly purchased $875‚000 worth of art from Hunter in January 2023. “However‚ Kevin Morris only paid Mr. Bergès 40% commission of the $875‚000 purchase and Hunter Biden and Kevin Morris figured out the financial implications. Mr. Bergès admitted he has never done an art deal like that before‚” House investigators noted.  According to Comer‚ Bergès was introduced to Hunter by Hollywood video producer Lanette Phillips‚ who has hosted fundraisers for President Joe Biden. Bergès also reportedly told House lawmakers that he had met with the president in person and over the phone and was at a wedding at the White House.  The interview was conducted as part of the House investigation into corruption and influence peddling within the Biden family.

In a recent turn of events‚ actor Mark Ruffalo has come forward with an apology after he disseminated artificial intelligence-generated images that falsely depicted former President Donald Trump on the private plane of the now-deceased Jeffrey Epstein. The images‚ which were shared widely across social media platforms‚ have sparked a conversation about the responsibility of public figures in spreading information and the role of social media in policing content. Ruffalo‚ known for his roles in Hollywood as well as his political activism‚ initially shared the images alongside commentary that seemed to implicate Trump in untoward activities related to Epstein. However‚ it was soon revealed that the images were not authentic but rather created using advanced AI technology. This revelation prompted Ruffalo to issue a retraction and apologize for his role in sharing the deceptive visuals. Mark Ruffalo is a moron pic.twitter.com/PX0QzT9m99 — Flash (@YellowFlashGuy) January 9‚ 2024 Despite the apology‚ Ruffalo took the opportunity to direct criticism at Elon Musk‚ CEO of the social media platform where the images were shared. Ruffalo accused Musk of allowing disinformation to proliferate on the platform‚ which he suggested was contributing to a decline in the platform’s value. This accusation comes amidst broader discussions about the spread of fake news and the ethical implications of AI technology in fabricating realistic but false imagery. The incident has raised questions about the veracity of claims made against Trump in relation to Epstein. Court documents have surfaced suggesting connections between the two men‚ including testimonies from Epstein’s housekeeper who confirmed that Trump visited Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion regularly. However‚ the housekeeper clarified that Trump never stayed overnight‚ had massages‚ or dined anywhere other than with the staff in the kitchen‚ countering any insinuations of impropriety. JUST IN: Actor Mark Ruffalo Shares AI-Created Images of Trump to Promote MISLEADING EPSTEIN NARRATIVE‚ Then Criticizes Musk for Perceived "Increase in Misinformation." THE GAMES THEY PLAY.. Actor Mark Ruffalo‚ known for his far left leaning political views‚ recently shared… pic.twitter.com/qnctIdT1HQ — Chuck Callesto (@ChuckCallesto) January 8‚ 2024 Trump himself has acknowledged knowing Epstein but has distanced himself from the convicted sex offender‚ stating that he was not a fan and had not spoken to Epstein in over 15 years due to a falling out. Additionally‚ Trump pointed out that Epstein was never a member of his Mar-a-Lago club. These statements stand in contrast to the narrative that the AI-generated images attempted to convey. The dissemination of the fabricated images by Ruffalo is a stark reminder of the ease with which misinformation can be spread by influential individuals and the potential harm it can cause. It underscores the necessity for due diligence and fact-checking‚ particularly when dealing with sensitive allegations that can impact reputations and lives. As the debate over the regulation of disinformation online continues‚ this incident serves as a cautionary tale about the power of AI to create convincing falsehoods and the critical need for users to approach online content with skepticism. It also highlights the importance of holding those in positions of influence accountable for the information they share‚ ensuring that public discourse is informed by truth rather than deception. In conclusion‚ while Ruffalo’s apology is a step towards rectifying the spread of false information‚ it also opens up a larger conversation about the responsibilities of both social media companies and their users. As technology continues to advance‚ the collective effort to combat disinformation must evolve accordingly‚ promoting a digital landscape where truth prevails and the integrity of public dialogue is maintained.
