A new report by the House Oversight and Accountability Committee has uncovered shocking evidence of the Biden family’s involvement in “influence peddling and business schemes.” According to Committee Chairman James Comer, the Biden family and its business associates created over 20 companies and received more than $10 million from foreign nationals while Joe Biden served as vice president. The committee has subpoenaed four different banks as part of its probe and received “thousands of records in response.”
The memo released by the committee ahead of the press conference reveals that the Biden family appeared to take steps to “conceal the source and total amount received from the foreign companies.”
The committee identified payments to Biden family members from foreign companies “while Joe Biden served as Vice President and after he left public office.”
The committee said it found that Hunter Biden, through his associate Rob Walker, received more than $1 million from a foreign company reportedly controlled by Gabriel Popoviciu, the subject of a criminal probe and prosecution for corruption in Romania. Then-Vice President Biden met with Romanian leaders in 2014 and 2015 “regarding corruption in the country.”
The memo said the Biden family, their business associates, and their companies received over $10 million from foreign nationals’ companies. The committee says it is investigating “the opaque corporate structure of particular Biden-affiliated companies, those companies’ complicated connections with each other, whether these companies maintained books and records, and why certain foreign nationals sought to partner with and engage in businesses with specific Biden family members and their companies.”
The committee said it already sees signs that the Biden family may have collected money from foreign nationals trying to influence U.S. policy. The committee is concerned about the Biden family’s pattern of courting business in regions of the world in which the then Vice President had an outsize role and influenced U.S. policy.
The memo included a breakdown of the transactions from Chinese and Romanian nationals and companies.
Specifically, with regard to China, the memo points to two people —Ye Jianming and Gongwen Dong – and warned that particular Chinese business venture posed “potential threats to American national security.”
Both people were connected to Hunter Biden’s joint-venture with Chinese energy company CEFC.
The committee will continue to gather additional bank records and follow the money trail. The Committee is committed to rooting out fraud, waste, and abuse that exist at the highest level of the federal government.
