The New York Times has made a correction to an article about Hunter Biden after an outcry emerged at the initial published version.
The article is now tagged with a correction that the Times said was made on Wednesday, the same day as its publication.
“An earlier version of this article misquoted Hunter Biden. He said, ‘My father was not financially involved in my business,’ not, ‘My father was not involved in my business,’” the correction read.
The full quote now reads: “Let me state as clearly as I can: My father was not financially involved in my business — not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Burisma, not my partnership with a Chinese private businessman, not in my investments at home nor abroad and certainly not as an artist.”
The significance of that one word was noted by Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee and member of the House Oversight Committee.

The president’s son appeared at a news conference at the Capitol as House investigators awaited him at a private session he declined to attend. Republicans threatened him with contempt.
Published December 13, 2023
Hunter Biden, the president’s son, appeared on Capitol Hill on Wednesday morning to offer to publicly testify in House Republicans’ impeachment investigation into his father, though he insisted he would not appear for a private deposition they scheduled over his refusals.
The younger Mr. Biden, who has been served a subpoena to testify, spoke to reporters in a hastily called news conference outside the Capitol near the Senate, across the complex from a House office building where Republican lawmakers were waiting to question him behind closed doors.
It was a dramatic moment that came just hours before House Republicans were to hold a vote to formalize their impeachment inquiry into President Biden, after a year of investigation that has turned up no concrete evidence of high crimes or misdemeanors.
They have pursued Hunter Biden for years, searching for evidence that his father was involved in corruption related to his business dealings with foreign entities, and had stacked boxes of papers on a table inside a deposition room waiting to question him.
Mr. Biden challenged them to do it in public.

The New York Times is facing backlash as critics accuse the paper of altering a key quote from Hunter Biden’s stunning presser while defying a congressional subpoena on Wednesday.
Biden, the scandal-plagued son of President Biden, offered a statement to reporters outside Capitol Hill publicly challenging “MAGA Republicans” over their demand for him to testify behind closed doors instead of an open hearing all while asserting his father was not “financially involved” in his business dealings.
“Let me state as clearly as I can: My father was not financially involved in my business — not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Burisma, not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman, not in my investments at home nor abroad and certainly not as an artist,” the 53-year-old Biden said Wednesday morning.
However, in the Times’ initial report on Biden’s comments published at 9:46 a.m. ET, the paper omitted the word “financially” from the quote.
“‘I am here,’ Mr. Biden said. ‘Let me state as clearly as I can: My father was not involved in my business,’” wrote Times reporter Luke Broadwater.
That specific quote from Hunter Biden caught the most attention among critics highlighting Team Biden’s evolving narrative. During the 2020 election cycle, then-candidate Joe Biden repeatedly insisted he never spoke with his son about his foreign business dealings.
