James Comer (R-KY), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, released a 36-page memo on Wednesday, noting his committee had subpoenaed four banks and received thousands of records. The report argues the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dems-ask-doj-to-help-lawyer-found-to-have-falsified-science-bribed-judge-to-shake-down-oil-company\/\" title=\"Dems Ask DOJ To Help Lawyer Found To Have Falsified Science, Bribed Judge To Shake Down Oil Company\">bank records show<\/a> that \u201cthe Biden family, their business associates, and their companies received over $10 million\u201d from companies belonging to foreign nationals, with Republicans identifying 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.<\/p>\n<h3>Comer\u2019s New Memo Alleges Evidence of Influence Peddling and Risks to National Security<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThe 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,\u201d Comer\u2019s new memo alleged.<\/p>\n<p>Comer said that \u201cthe Romanian transactions show evidence of influence peddling and a correlation between Biden family and their business associates\u2019 work and then Vice President Biden\u2019s responsibilities while in office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Kentucky Republican added that his committee \u201cis also providing additional information about the Biden family\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>New GOP Memo Does Not Detail Any Foreign Payments Going Directly to Joe Biden<\/h3>\n<p>The new GOP memo does not detail any foreign payments going directly to Joe Biden. The Washington Examiner reported last year that Hunter Biden spent over $30,000 on escorts, many of whom were linked to &#8220;.ru&#8221; Russian email addresses and worked with an \u201cexclusive model agency&#8221; called UberGFE during a 3 1\/2 month period between November 2018 and March 2019. He managed to do so thanks in part to Joe Biden committing to wiring him a total of $100,000 to help pay his bills from December 2018 through January 2019.<\/p>\n<h3>Comer Reveals New Biden Family Financial Details<\/h3>\n<p>Comer had revealed new Biden family financial details in March after he obtained them through a subpoena of Hunter Biden associate Rob Walker&#8217;s financial records at Bank of America. The House Oversight chairman revealed that \u201cfrom 2015 through 2017, Biden family members and their companies received over $1.3 million in payments\u201d from accounts tied to Hunter Biden business associate Rob Walker.<\/p>\n<p>Comer said more than $1 million was sent in incremental payments to Hunter Biden, his uncle and Joe\u2019s brother James Biden, and Hallie Biden, the widow of the president\u2019s deceased son, Beau Biden, with whom Hunter was having a romantic relationship in 2017 following his brother\u2019s death, shortly after Walker received a $3 million wire from a Chinese company called State Energy HK.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden denied these details, which Comer considers facts backed by clear evidence.<\/p>\n<h3>Comer\u2019s New Memo Follows a Subpoena He Sent to FBI Director Christopher Wray<\/h3>\n<p>Comer\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<h3>Comer\u2019s New Memo Argues Actions in Romania Taken by the Biden Family and Its Associates \u201cBear Clear Indicia of a Scheme to Peddle Influence\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>The new GOP memo also said Wednesday that, prior to the wire from State Energy HK, Hunter Biden associates Rob Walker and James Gilliar, as well as Hunter Biden and Hallie Biden, \u201creceived payments from a Romanian source, and many of the payments were made while Joe Biden was Vice President and working directly on the U.S.\u2019s official policy in Romania.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The House Republican memo argued that actions in Romania taken by the Biden family and its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/james-comer-releases-new-financial-records-exposing-biden-familys-influence-peddling-in-romania-and-china\/\" title=\"Comer reveals new financial records exposing Biden family's influence in Romania and China.\">associates \u201cbear clear indicia<\/a> of a scheme to peddle influence\u201d from 2015 to 2017, arguing that \u201cwhile Vice President Biden lectured Romania on corruption and ethics, Hunter Biden received \u2014 through Biden associate Rob Walker \u2014 over a million dollars from a company controlled by a Romanian individual accused of corruption (Gabriel Popoviciu).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Comer released bank records showing \u201cthe Biden family\u2019s receipt of money from a foreign company reportedly controlled by Gabriel Popoviciu, the subject of a criminal probe and prosecution for corruption in Romania.\u201d The payments came around the same timeframe that then-Vice President Biden delivered speeches and met with Romanian leaders in 2014 and 2015 regarding corruption in the country. Comer said his committee \u201cis concerned about the Biden family\u2019s pattern of courting business in regions of the world in which the then Vice President had an outsize role and influenced U.S. policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Comer\u2019s New Memo Reveals Hunter Biden\u2019s Ties to Chinese Energy Conglomerate CEFC<\/h3>\n<p>Hunter Biden and his associated businesses are also believed to have received at least $5 million in payments from Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC in 2017 and 2018, and Ye Jianming\u2019s deputy Patrick Ho also agreed to pay Hunter Biden a $1 million retainer. Hunter referred to Ho as &#8220;the f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joe-biden-spoke-with-hunter-about-dealings-with-chinese-oil-tycoon-voicemail-reveals\/\" title=\"Joe Biden Spoke With Hunter About Dealings With Chinese Oil Tycoon, Voicemail Reveals\">***ing spy chief<\/a> of China&#8221; in a May 11, 2018, voice recording.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Committee is investigating the corrupt conduct of Ye \u2014 and others with ties to the CCP \u2014 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,\u201d Comer\u2019s new memo said.<\/p>\n<p>Comer wrote that CEFC deputy Gongwen Dong formed CEFC Infrastructure in Delaware in May 2017, and that Hudson West V, a company directed by Dong which received a $24 million wire from Ye and formed a partnership with Hunter Biden, was the sole equity member of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hunter Biden investigation: Comer unveils &#8216;Biden family\u2019s influence peddling&#8217; in Romania and China A top House Republican investigator released new financial records from his investigation into \u201cthe Biden family\u2019s influence peddling and business schemes\u201d by highlighting bank records related to Hunter Biden-linked business deals in Romania and China.
