We completed a transcribed interview with Biden associate, Devon Archer.
Archer’s testimony confirms Joe Biden lied to the American people when he said he had no knowledge about his son’s business dealings and was not involved.
Critical takeaways 👇
When Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States, he joined Hunter Biden’s dinners with his foreign business associates in person or by speakerphone over 20 times.
Devon Archer testified that the value of adding Hunter Biden to Burisma’s board was “the brand” and confirmed that then-Vice President Joe Biden was “the brand” and that the 20 phone calls were to sell “the brand.”
In fact, Devon Archer admitted that “Burisma would have gone out of business if ‘the brand’ had not been attached to it.” Because of the Bidens’ involvement, people would have been intimidated to mess with Burisma legally.
In December 2015, Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma, and Vadym Pozharski, an executive of Burisma, placed constant pressure on Hunter Biden to get help from D.C. regarding the Ukrainian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin. Shokin was investigating Burisma for corruption.
Hunter Biden, along with Zlochevsky and Pozharski, “called D.C.” to discuss the matter. Biden, Zlochevsky, and Pozharski stepped away to make the call. This raises concerns that Hunter Biden was in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Joe Biden was dialed into a dinner in Paris with a French energy company and in China with Jonathan Li, the CEO of BHR. Then-VP Biden also had coffee with Li in Beijing and even wrote a letter of recommendation for college for Li’s daughter.
Archer confirmed Joe Biden was referred to as “my guy” by Hunter Biden.
In 2014, then-VP Biden attended a business dinner with Hunter & his associates at Café Milano in D.C. Elena Baturina, a Russian oligarch who is the widow of the former mayor of Moscow, was an attendee. Notably, the Biden Admin’s public sanctions do not contain Baturina.

We Are Referring Hunter and James Biden for Criminal Prosecution
Our Committee, along with @JudiciaryGOP and @WaysandMeansGOP, today sent criminal referrals to the DOJ recommending Hunter and James Biden be charged with making false statements to Congress about key aspects of the impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden.
These false statements implicate Joe Biden’s knowledge of and role in his family’s influence peddling schemes and appear to be a calculated effort to shield Joe Biden from the impeachment inquiry.
Lie 1: During his deposition, Hunter Biden made false statements about holding a position at Rosemont Seneca Bohai (RSB), a corporate entity that received millions of dollars from foreign individuals and entities who met with then-Vice President Biden before and after transmitting money to the RSB account that then transferred funds to Hunter Biden. After deposing Hunter Biden, the Committees obtained documents showing Hunter Biden represented that he was the corporate secretary of RSB.
Lie 2: Additionally, Hunter Biden during his testimony relayed an entirely fictitious account about threatening text messages he sent to his Chinese business partner while invoking his father’s presence with him as he wrote the messages.
Hunter Biden testified he had transmitted this threat to an unrelated individual with the same surname. However, documents released by the Committee on Ways and Means demonstrate conclusively that Hunter Biden made this threat to the intended individual, and bank records prove Hunter Biden’s Chinese business partners wired millions of dollars to his company after his threat. A portion of the proceeds has been traced to Joe Biden’s bank account.
Today, another tranche of IRS whistleblower documents was released. Based on new evidence, it appears Hunter Biden lied during our February deposition with him.
Reminder, our deposition with Hunter was under oath…
🧵 👇
In our deposition, Hunter Biden was asked if he was the corporate secretary for Rosemont Seneca Bohai.
He said, “I didn't even know that there was such a thing.”
Here is a corporate resolution signed by Hunter as the “acting Secretary” of Rosemont Seneca Bohai, LLC.
Furthermore, the Committee asked Hunter about foreign payments into the RSB account.
According to evidence provided by an IRS whistleblower, Hunter Biden was the beneficial owner of the entity’s associated bank account.
Here is a document directing Hunter’s monthly Burisma salary to the RSB, LLC bank account.
Today, we are releasing the transcript of our transcribed interview with Eric Schwerin, a Hunter Biden business associate who also was the bookkeeper for then-Vice President Joe Biden.
Key Takeaways:
- Eric Schwerin’s testimony reveals Joe Biden’s claim there was an “absolute wall” between his government duties and his family’s business is false. Joe Biden’s claim he had no interactions with his son’s associates is false.
- Schwerin admitted to having access to Joe Biden’s checking account and corporate account through the end of 2017 but never saw any loans made out to his brother and sister-in-law, James and Sara Biden.
- Schwerin oddly said that “a grandchild” may have put money in Joe Biden’s checking account.
- Schwerin had no visibility on key foreign payments to the Bidens.
🧵Key Excerpts👇
During his interview, Eric Schwerin stated he prepared financial documents and bookkeeping tasks for then-VP Biden. Joe Biden did not pay Schwerin for his professional services, which included paying bills, tax preparation, and financial disclosures
Then-VP Biden and his staff often met with Eric Schwerin at the White House regarding bills and financial matters, and Eric Schwerin would help with guest lists for events at Vice President Biden’s Naval Observatory residence.
Today, we are releasing the transcript of our transcribed interview with Jason Galanis, a business associate of Hunter Biden and Devon Archer from 2012-2015.
Galanis testified that:
· The entire value add of Hunter Biden was his family name and his access to his father, Vice President Joe Biden, or as Galanis called it, the “Biden Lift.”
· Hunter Biden called his father and used his father to close deals with the Chinese and Russians.
· The Department of Justice may be acting to cover up for the Bidens and retaliating against him.
🧵Read the key excerpts👇
According to Galanis, their goal was to make billions, not millions.
Hunter Biden and his business associates approached the financial firm, Burnham, and proposed transactions for the firm involving Kazakhstan, Russia, and China.
Today, we are releasing the transcript of our transcribed interview with Jim Biden as part of our impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden.
🧵 See the key excerpts 👇
Jim Biden initially said he was not part of a deal with Rob Walker, Hunter Biden, James Gilliar, and Tony Bobulinski but when presented with an agreement with his signature on it, he changed his story to say he did not recall signing that agreement.
Jim Biden’s testimony conflicts with Hunter Biden and Tony Bobulinski’s sworn testimony. Both Hunter Biden and Tony Bobulinski testified that Joe Biden met with Tony Bobulinski, Hunter Biden, and Jim Biden at a hotel in California. Jim Biden said this never happened.
