NEW: #HunterBiden’s dealings with foreign individuals raise conflict of interest concerns as well as concerns about crimes, counterintelligence, and extortion, according to a new congressional report. theepochtimes.com/joe-bidens-son…
According to the report, #HunterBiden engaged in millions of dollars in “questionable financial transactions” with foreign individuals, including the wife of the former mayor of #Moscow and people with ties to the #CCPChina. documentcloud.org/documents/7216…
James Biden is #JoeBiden’s brother; Sara Biden is James’s wife; and Archer is one of #HunterBiden’s business partners.
Hunter Biden and Archer received $4 million for being on #Burisma’s board.
Other Biden family members also received millions of dollars from foreign nationals with questionable backgrounds.
Archer, for instance, received $142,300 from a Kazakhstan national, purportedly for a car, the same day VP #JoeBiden addressed Ukrainian legislators in #Kyiv.
#HunterBiden received $3.5 million from #ElenaBaturina, the widow of the former mayor of #Moscow, and millions of dollars from business transactions with individuals linked to the #CCP and #China's People’s Liberation Army.
#HunterBiden also “paid nonresident women who were nationals of Russia or other Eastern European countries and who appear to be linked to an ‘Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring,'” the report stated. #HumanTrafficking
Key findings included learning that #GeorgeKent, a former deputy chief of mission at the US Embassy in #Ukraine, raised concerns to officials in #JoeBiden’s office in early 2015 about the perception of a conflict of interest in #HunterBiden being on the board of #Burisma.
“The presence of Hunter Biden on the Burisma board was very awkward for all U.S. officials pushing an anticorruption agenda in Ukraine,” Kent wrote in an email the next year to colleagues.
The concerns were not addressed, according to the report.
#HunterBiden was on #Burisma’s board when the company’s owner allegedly paid $7 million to officials working under #Ukraine’s prosecutor general to shut the case against the owner. Kent said the bribe was paid in Dec. 2014 and that he reported the allegation to the #FBI.
