Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., chimed in on the House Oversight Committee report allegedly showing that the Bidens pocketed at least $20 million from various sources.
“We now have evidence proving the Bidens got paid $20 MILLION DOLLARS!! New bank statements show money coming from Russia, Kazakhstan, and of course Ukraine!!,” Taylor Greene wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Biden Inc does not sell a product or service but instead raked in tens of millions selling Joe Biden’s power!”
That allegedly included $3.5 million from Russian organized crime-linked oligarch Yelena Baturina. Kazakh billionaire Kene Rakishev, a chief funder of Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov, gave Hunter Biden $142,300. Kadyrov is a noted Putin crony heavily involved in the 2022 invasion of Ukraine who has been accused of human rights abuses. Rakishev has been accused of physically brutalizing his enemies.
Hunter Biden and Devon Archer received at least $6.5 million from Burisma, bank records show. The Bidens also received at least $8 million from Ye Jianming, the former head of the Chinese military intelligence-linked CEFC China Energy.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Vocal Pushing for Impeachment Inquiry
She has been vocal in pushing for an impeachment inquiry into the Bidens’ alleged bribery scheme detailed in the recently released uncorroborated FBI FD-1023 form.
It alleges that Burisma founder and executive Mykola Zlochevsky told an FBI confidential informant that he had paid Joe Biden a $5 million bribe while he was vice president to get rid of Ukrainian Prosecutor-General Viktor Shokin.
The prosecutor general had Burisma’s corruption in his sights. Zlochevsky was eager to move into the U.S. energy market but could not due to Shokin’s investigation.
“[Confidential Human Source] told Zlochevsky that due to Shokin’s investigation into Burisma, which was made public at this time, it would have a substantial negative impact on Burisma’s prospective IPO in the United States. Zlochevsky replied something to the effect of, ‘Don’t worry Hunter will take care of all of those Issues through his dad,’” the FD-1023 said.
Archer Testifies That Zlochevsky Pressured Hunter Biden to Call His Father
Former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer testified last week that Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi told him that he and Zlochevsky had pressured Hunter Biden to call his father following a November 2015 board meeting in Dubai.
Archer testified: “The request was I think they were getting pressure and they requested Hunter, you know, help them with some of that pressure … The request — you know, basically the request is like, can D.C. help? But there were not — you know, I’m not going to — there were not — it wasn’t like — there weren’t specific, you know, can [Joe Biden] help? It was – it’s always this amorphous, can we get help in D.C.?”
Democrats have claimed that Shokin’s Burisma investigation was dormant when Joe Biden traveled to Kyiv in December 2015 to pressure Ukrainian President Poro Poroshenko to fire Shokin.
Shokin Says Hunter Biden Under Investigation When He Was Fired
However, Shokin released a video statement online last weekend in which he attests that was not the case. Shokin noted that the Ukrainian court seized Zlochevsky’s assets, personal savings, and property 10-12 days before his resignation in February 2016.
“We have to believe that [Joe] Biden was told that we were going to start questioning his son and others, Archer, involved in the Burisma case. Everyone understood this case was going to end very badly for them,” Shokin said. “I am convinced that Biden understood what was coming. I did not react to the allusions concerning the closure of the Burisma case. We, myself and my colleagues, were about to reach the outcome of this case.
Shokin continued: “Having understood this, Biden used all of the unofficial means at his disposal, in particular using his men including certain members of parliament as well as these so-called activists. He acted through them so as to not show his interest in this case ― his personal interest I mean … Biden was acting on his own behalf for his family and not for the interests of the American people.”
He noted that Hunter Biden likely would have found himself under investigation for corruption due to his involvement with Burisma.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday night, “I think there’s enough proof out there that this Biden family needs to come forward and show there wasn’t a play-to-play.”
