🧵THREAD: Evidence of Joe Biden’s involvement in the Biden family “business.”
Our investigation is centered on Joe Biden’s knowledge of, participation in, and benefit from his family’s influence peddling schemes.
Here are key facts unearthed to date.
Recap👇
Biden Associate Devon Archer testified Joe Biden was “the brand” that Hunter Biden sold around the world when his father was Vice President of the United States.
Selling “the brand” has been lucrative for the Bidens. In our third bank records memo, our committee identified over $20 million in payments from foreign sources to the Biden family and their business associates that occurred during Joe Biden’s Vice Presidency.
Devon Archer testified he was aware of at least 20 times in which then-Vice President Biden spoke on speakerphone with Hunter Biden’s foreign business associates. These phone calls were used to send signals of power, access, and influence to those paying the Bidens.
In a recent interview with Biden family associate Jason Galanis, Hunter Biden put then-Vice President Biden on speakerphone with Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina and her husband, the former mayor of Moscow. VP Biden ended the call by saying, “OK then, you be good to my boy.”
Then-Vice President Biden dined with Russian and Kazakhstani oligarchs, as well as a Burisma executive, who collectively funneled millions of dollars to Hunter Biden and his business associates.
Then-Vice President Biden had coffee with Hunter Biden’s Chinese business associate, Jonathan Li, in Beijing and even wrote a college letter of recommendation for Li’s daughter.
Then-Vice President Biden used email aliases and private email addresses to communicate with Hunter Biden and Hunter's business associates hundreds of times.
Tony Bobulinski also testified Joe Biden was “the brand” being sold by the Biden family as they did work with a Chinese Communist Party linked energy company, CEFC. As part of this deal, CEFC sought to gain a stake in U.S. oil and gas companies to export American made energy to China.
According to Rob Walker, Joe Biden met with the now-missing Chairman of CEFC, Ye Jianming, and other CEFC officials. This meeting was around the time Hunter Biden and his associates received $3 million from a CEFC entity for the work they did when Joe Biden was Vice President.
Our committee subpoenaed and obtained two bank wires revealing Hunter Biden received payments originating from Chinese nationals, including Jonathan Li, in July and August 2019 when Joe Biden was running for President of the United States.
Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware home is listed as the beneficiary address for both wires.
We obtained bank records revealing a $200,000 direct payment from James and Sara Biden to Joe Biden in the form of a personal check. This check was written on the same day James Biden received a $200,000 “loan” from Americore—a financially distressed rural hospital operator which James Biden made “representations that his last name, ‘Biden,’ could ‘open doors.’”
In an internal Americore document obtained by POLITICO, Jim Biden’s first attribute on his biography is “Brother and Campaign Finance Chair of former Vice President Joe Biden.”
We released bank records revealing how Joe Biden received $40,000 in China money from the account of his brother, James Biden, and his sister-in-law, Sara Biden, in the form of a personal check. This money landed in Joe Biden’s bank account shortly after Hunter Biden threatened a CEFC associate to pay up—claiming his father was sitting next to him in the room.
There is no Biden family business without Joe Biden. He is “the brand” that allowed the Bidens to rake in millions from China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, and Kazakhstan.
Joe Biden has tarnished his position of public trust by allowing his family to put his power, protection, and influence up for sale. He spoke, dined, met, and had coffee with his family’s foreign associates as they funneled millions to the Bidens. This public corruption cannot be tolerated.
Tomorrow, our committee will depose Hunter Biden, a key witness in our investigation of Joe Biden. This is an important interview in our investigation, but it is not the end. There are more subpoenas and more interviews to come.
The buck stops with Joe Biden, and there will be accountability.
