Chair of the House Oversight Committee James Comer is calling for a sense of urgency to find out if President Joe Biden and his family have been compromised by their foreign business dealings with China, Russia, and Ukraine. Comer sent demand letters to Hunter and James Biden seeking financial records and communications with business associates to determine whether they have been compromised by Chinese interests.
Hunter has rejected the demand, prompting Comer to hint at using a subpoena to compel their testimony. Comer is worried about the security of America under the Biden administration due to recent Chinese national security threats. “China continues to steal our intellectual property…They manipulate their currency…They continue to steal our hard-earned research and development,” said Comer.
He believes Americans would be outraged if they knew how much money the Biden family has taken from China – including an email that proposed equity distribution between CEFC China Energy Co., Hunter, and “the big guy” (Joe Biden). This was confirmed by Hunter’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski.
The investigation could lead to stronger ethics and financial disclosure laws being implemented to prevent political families from peddling influence. Peter Schweizer exposed how Hunter flew aboard Air Force Two before his firm made a $1.5 billion deal with the Bank of China two weeks later.
Comer is working hard behind closed doors to obtain bank records so he can trace how money flowed between the Bidens and their partners – but he faces stonewalling tactics from both sides as well as denial from US Treasury Department when requesting suspicious reports flagged by banks concerning transactions involving the Biden’s. Should these investigations uncover any wrongdoing or ethics violations then this will only prove further why it is important for transparency laws around foreign investments involving political figures should be put into place immediately for American citizens’ safety.
