Former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said the new developments out of the investigation into Hunter Biden's business dealings are "very damaging" for the president. On "Fox & Friends First" Thursday, Whitaker argued the "shocking" evidence being sent to the U.S. attorney shows that China was trying to gather information on the Biden family.

MATTHEW WHITAKER: It's very damaging. If you think about how you build an investigation, you build it brick by brick. And this revelation that somebody that close to the family, that worked every day with Hunter Biden, had access to most of the information or the various companies, I think is a significant step. There is no doubt that Hunter Biden was part of a Chinese intelligence mission that was trying to gather as much information as possible about Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and the entire Biden family. And what Ron Johnson and my home state Senator Chuck Grassley have found and now provided to the U.S. attorney in Delaware is just shocking, how much money was being given to the Biden family.
