Liz Cheney, who voted to impeach former president Donald Trump, issuing a strong statement about his implicit involvement in the January 6 riots, has been married to lawyer Philip Perry since 1993 (via Politico). He has an extensive political resumé of his own, having been appointed as General Counsel of the US Department of Homeland Security under former President George W. Bush, according to the bio on the site of his current employer, Latham & Watkins.
Speaking of Latham & Watkins, where Perry has worked as of 2007, it turns out that a partner at the firm has represented Hunter Biden since 2020 (via New York Post). Not only that, but the company donated half a million dollars to President Joe Biden's campaign.
While the association between Perry's firm and the first son, as well as its support of Democratic causes, has been met with skepticism in the past, Latham & Watkins is newly denying that Cheney's husband working there presents a conflict of interest. In a statement to the New York Post, a representative noted the company "has 3000 lawyers and thousands of clients."
"Mr. Perry has no role at all in any matter involving Hunter Biden," the spokesperson added.
