House Republicans on the Oversight Committee have fired off another shot across the stern at President Joe Biden in the form of a memo that discusses how money from foreign entities found its way into his family, which raises even more concerns about the influence peddling scheme the Bidens may have been involved with and its impact on our national security.
“A new memo compiled by GOP staff on the House Oversight Committee focused mainly on Biden’s son, Hunter, who has drawn intense scrutiny over a federal criminal investigation. It comes after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) recently said the congressional probe into the Biden family’s finances is ‘rising to the level‘ of an impeachment inquiry, while Democrats argue Republicans have not produced any evidence showing the president received any foreign money directly. The elder Biden himself has called allegations of corruption “a bunch of malarkey,“ the Daily Wire reported.
The memo also states that bank records reveal oligarchs from Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan have paid millions of dollars to the first son, his Rosemont Seneca entities, and his former business partner Devon Archer during the time when Joe Biden was serving as vice president.
“It appears no real services were provided other than access to the Biden network, including Joe Biden himself. And Hunter Biden seems to have delivered,” Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) remarked in a statement. “This is made clear,” Comer added, by meals at Café Milano in Washington, D.C., where then-Vice President Joe Biden “dined with oligarchs from around the world who had sent money to his son.”
Here’s more from DW:
In a recent appearance before the House Oversight Committee, Archer testified to Biden attending dinners with his son’s business partners, as shown in a lightly redacted transcript released by the panel. Archer indicated that Joe Biden did not discuss anything of consequence during these meals or in calls with Hunter’s associates, though he repeatedly emphasized how the Biden family “brand” went a long way in their ventures.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, reacted to the new memo by insisting that his GOP colleagues have “once again released information on financial transactions that do not involve” the president, according to The Messenger. “Instead, they rehash the same Hunter Biden business dealings that Congressional Republicans identified at least three years ago,” he added.
“Today House Republicans on the Oversight Committee released another memo full of years-old ‘news,’ innuendo, and misdirection — but notably missing, yet again, is any connection to President Biden,” CNN said.
Comer has stated there are at least 20 “sham” or shell companies founded by the Biden family, along with complex financial transactions that have been used to hide cash funneled to members of the Biden family. He then revealed that the Oversight Committee has sent out subpoenaed a total of six different banks aimed at people and companies that are connected with the Bidens and some of their business associates, which has led to the production of thousands of records. That’s a lot of material to wade through, but hopefully it will produce some data and information that can hold those involved in this scheme accountable for what they have done.
The new memo said that the committee “has not yet subpoenaed bank records of the Biden family.” However, it did add that the panel is set to make “legislative solutions” that are focused on shoring up ethics laws and rules that govern the disclosure of financial interests.
