Members of the Biden family including President Joe Biden may have received between $20 to $30 million from foreign sources, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told Fox’s Maria Bartiromo.
“We have more bank records coming in, we’re going to exceed $10 million this week. And I think we’ll get up to between $20 and 30 million,” Comer said.
The House Oversight Committee released a report last month detailing a network of LLCs that allegedly were used by the Biden family to launder money and hide its sources. The recently obtained FBI FD-1023 document suggests that Joe Biden was involved in a $5 million bribery scheme to get him to pressure Ukrainian President Poro Poroshenko to fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.
Shokin was investigating the corrupt Ukrainian energy firm Burisma and its owner Mykola Zlochevsky.
Comer identified nine members of the Biden family as allegedly having been involved in the corrupt moneymaking scheme. They include the president’s brother James Biden; his sister-in-law Sara Biden; his daughter-in-law Hallie Biden; Hunter Biden’s current wife Melissa Cohen Biden; and Hunter Biden’s former wife Kathleen Buehle.
“We’re going to continue to follow the money,” Comer said.
Comer told Fox News host Sean Hannity that the committee has “already tracked down a little over $10 million.” He told Hannity that the source of the information about the alleged payment from Burisma has not been heard from in at least three years.
“You know, MSNBC makes fun of me when I said that there are a lot of people that were involved in the Biden shenanigans that are currently missing,” Comer said of the high-ranking Burisma executive who allegedly made 17 recordings of Hunter Biden and Joe Biden. “But, with respect to this oligarch, we think we know where he is. He just hasn’t been seen in public in a long time, but we’re following the money.”
Millions From China to Biden Family?
Of particular interest besides the Burisma transactions has been the money received by the Biden family from accounts related to CEFC China Energy.
Its former head Ye Jianming and Hunter Biden business served as deputy secretary general of the China Association for International Friendly Contacts (CAIFC).
The U.S.-China Security Review Commission says CAIFC “performs dual roles of intelligence collection and conducting propaganda and perception management campaigns.” CAIFC also serves as a platform for deploying undercover intelligence gatherers.”
Hunter Biden and Ye were involved in a Louisiana project. Joe Biden, allegedly identified as “the Big Guy” in a May 13, 2017 email discussing the transaction, notes that he was supposed to have received 10% of the proceeds from the project.
In April, bank records obtained from Cathay Bank, a Chinese-American bank with offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Beijing, showed that CEFC Energy wired millions of dollars to Hudson West III. This company was a joint operation between Hunter Biden and Gongwen Dong, a close associate of Ye’s.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, connected Gongwen with “United Front” groups that have close ties to Chinese intelligence.
Grassley noted that CEFC Energy provided Hudson West III with a $5 million transfer in August 2014.
Hunter Biden personally referred to Patrick Ho, another associate of Ye’s, who he was working with as the “spy chief of China.”
James Biden the Next Target of Interest
Comer told Hannity that transactions involving James Biden will be the next focus for the House Oversight Committee.
“We’re pretty confident from other sources that that number will grow to beyond $20 million and it could be more if you factor in the president’s brother, who dealt mainly in the Middle East. We haven’t even gotten to him yet,” he explained.
