House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) stated on Sunday that there is “a feeling of urgency” to investigate whether or not President Joe Biden’s family is compromised by their international business relationships in China, Russia, and Ukraine.
According to what Comer told the Wall Street Journal, finding out if this administration has been tampered with is a top priority.
Comer, who is investigating the Biden family for nine violations including tax evasion, money laundering, and wire fraud, has sent demand letters to Hunter and James Biden, requesting their financial records and communications with business associates in China to determine whether the Bidens’ business dealings have compromised the president. Comer has made it clear that he expects Hunter to cooperate with the demand, but he has also hinted at the possibility of filing a subpoena to force Hunter’s hand.
In light of recent threats to American security from the Chinese government, Comer recently voiced alarm to ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos about the situation of national security under the Biden administration.
China’s persistent theft of American intellectual property continues. They have routinely stolen our patents. They are engaging in some monetary tinkering. We believe they have planted a huge spy network within our universities. Comer said that “they have been taking our R&D work for years.” The Chinese government is the main source of the problem.
“This government has not set a very good example so far” in terms of standing up to China, the official said. That you fired down the balloon is quite concerning to me,” he remarked. Americans are furious because the Chinese government sent a balloon above their country. “I believe people would be outraged,” Comer said if the American public learned how much money the Biden family had gotten from China.
The ethics and financial disclosure requirements may become more stringent as a result of Comer’s investigation to avoid influence peddling by political families.
Throughout his time in politics, Joe Biden’s family has maintained commercial ties to China. One email, according to Hunter’s “Laptop from Hell,” revealed the Biden family’s and CEFC China Energy Co.’s intended percentage distribution of shares in a company created for a joint venture. The author of a business proposal dated March 13, 2017, asked, “10 held by H for the big guy?”
Hunter’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski, the Bidens, and high-ranking members of the Chinese Communist Party were all involved in the CEFC transaction. Once again, it was Bobulinski who linked Joe Biden when he said that “the enormous figure” was Biden.
In November, Comer revealed that nine separate investigations into the Bidens were underway for crimes like money laundering, wire fraud, and tax evasion. Comer is seeking to gather bank records to learn more about the financial activities between the Bidens and their business partners.
Hunter and the United States Treasury have been avoiding Comer’s requests for information. According to a statement released by Hunter on Thursday, the lack of a “legitimate legislative and oversight basis” is why he would not provide the committee with the requested documents. As a response, Comer suggested we might subpoena some very convincing witnesses. After the Treasury Department denied the Committee’s request in January to provide 150 reports of suspicious activity concerning business transactions involving members of the Biden family, the Committee’s chairman threatened to issue a subpoena.
Author and senior writer at Breitbart and the Government Accountability Institute president Peter Schweizer published two anti-corruption books in 2018 and 2020. In 2013, Hunter Biden and Joe Biden flew Air Force Two to China, and according to their respective records, less than two weeks later, Hunter’s firm struck a $1.5 billion arrangement with a subsidiary of the Bank of China, the central bank of China. Other large and profitable foreign business activities and cronyism by the Biden family were also uncovered owing to Schweizer’s investigation.
After obtaining Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell,” Breitbart Political Editor Emma-Jo Morris and New York Post reporter Miranda Devine broke the story that Joe Biden was involved in his son’s business dealings and may have owned a 10% stake in a company Hunter Biden formed with top officials of the Chinese Communist Party.
