Comer exposes Biden family’s influence peddling in Romania and China during Hunter Biden investigation.

House Republican Investigator Releases New Financial Records on Biden Family

Bank Records Show Over $10 Million in Payments to Biden Family Members

A top House Republican investigator, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), has released new financial records from his investigation into “the Biden family’s influence peddling and business schemes.” The 36-page memo highlights bank records related to Hunter Biden-linked business deals in Romania and China. Comer’s report argues that the bank records show that “the Biden family, their business associates, and their companies received over $10 million” from companies belonging to foreign nationals. Republicans have identified payments to Biden family members from foreign companies while Joe Biden served as vice president under former President Barack Obama and after Joe Biden left public office in early 2017.

• The Romanian transactions show evidence of influence peddling and a correlation between Biden family and their business associates’ work and then Vice President Biden’s responsibilities while in office.
• The Biden family’s troubling receipt of payments from China, particularly the individual Ye Jianming and his company, CEFC, to show what was from 2015 to 2018 a growing interest by people closely tied to the CCP in cultivating a relationship with the Biden family.

Comer’s new memo alleges that “the transactions in Romania and China show related but separate issues identified by the Committee that raise serious questions about financial disclosures and risks to national security.”

New Details on Biden Family Financials

Comer had previously revealed new Biden family financial details in March after he obtained them through a subpoena of Hunter Biden associate Rob Walker’s financial records at Bank of America. The House Oversight chairman revealed that “from 2015 through 2017, Biden family members and their companies received over $1.3 million in payments” from accounts tied to Hunter Biden business associate Rob Walker. Comer said more than $1 million was sent in incremental payments to Hunter Biden, his uncle and Joe’s brother James Biden, and Hallie Biden, the widow of the president’s deceased son, Beau Biden, with whom Hunter was having a romantic relationship in 2017 following his brother’s death, shortly after Walker received a $3 million wire from a Chinese company called State Energy HK.

Concerns About National Security Risks

Comer’s new memo follows a subpoena he sent to FBI Director Christopher Wray seeking information about an alleged bribery scheme tied to then-Vice President Biden and an unnamed foreign national. The new GOP memo does not detail any foreign payments going directly to Joe Biden. However, Comer’s 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 Committee is investigating the corrupt conduct of Ye — and others with ties to the CCP — who used CEFC and Chinese companies to entice Biden family members with millions of dollars in exchange for influence and legitimacy in the United States and abroad.

Comer wrote that “the Biden family and associates’ activities in coordination with Chinese nationals and their corporate entities appear to be an attempt to engage in financial deception.”
