Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) said Wednesday that the Washington, D.C., establishment is "working harder than an ugly stripper" to cover up the investigation into Hunter Biden.

"I do know this, and I think the American people can see it," Kennedy told Fox News. "The Washington managerial elite, the establishment, if you will, is working harder than an ugly stripper to cover up whatever happened."

Kennedy's comments come in the wake of a letter sent by U.S. Attorney David Weiss to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) rejecting the notion that there is any foul play involved in the investigation into Hunter Biden.

"I have been granted ultimate authority over this matter, including responsibility for deciding where, when, and whether to file charges and for making decisions necessary to preserve the integrity of the prosecution," the letter read.

The cover-up is always more significant than the crime, according to Kennedy.

"I'm repeatedly amazed at how many smart people there are in Washington, D.C., who have no sense," he said.

"Look, I don't know if Mr. Hunter Biden committed a crime," Kennedy added. "I sure don't know if President Biden committed a crime. We're trying to get the facts."

The aforementioned elite do not believe that the public can see the cover-up, he said.

"Maybe it's a reflection of the contempt they have for the American people, but any fair-minded person can see that our effort to get to just the facts are being obstructed."
