AMAC Exclusive – By Aaron Flanigan
On Wednesday, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Chairman of the Oversight Committee, revealed in a press conference that, according to a review of subpoenaed bank records, members of the Biden family and their associates received more than $10 million from foreign entities, much of it during Biden’s time as vice president. The shocking new revelations, detailed further in a 36-page memo, indicate that the corruption of the Biden Crime Family likely runs even deeper than previously reported.
According to the bank records, Hunter Biden’s family received more than $1 million from a company controlled by Gabriel Popoviciu, a Romanian businessman accused of corruption, when Biden served in the Obama administration. An additional $2 million from Popoviciu went to a company controlled by Hunter Biden’s business partner.
The Committee’s memo states that the Bidens’ activities in Romania are “clear indicia of a scheme to peddle influence from 2015 to 2017”—providing strong substantiation to the widely-held belief that Biden has used his positions of power in Washington to enrich himself and his family.
“While Vice President Biden was lecturing Romania on anti-corruption policy, in reality he was a walking billboard for his son and family to collect money,” Comer said at the press conference. “We’ve never seen a presidential family receive these sums of money from adversaries around the world—we’re just talking about a couple of countries today.”
In addition to its findings on the Bidens’ payments from Romania, the Committee also revealed actions from the Bidens which “appear to be an attempt to engage in financial deception” with respect to their financial dealings with China. Hunter Biden, the Committee found, received funds into his own company’s account directly from a Chinese entity.
To make matters worse, one Chinese national involved in the payments, Ye Jianming, has close ties to the Chinese Communist Party and was allegedly deputy secretary-general for an international outreach arm of the People’s Liberation Army.
“The Bidens received millions of dollars from their Chinese partnership,” the memo concluded. “When Ye was detained by the Chinese, Hunter Biden then attempted to distance himself from the relationship by claiming he had never been paid by [Ye’s company]. This was false.”
During his time as vice president, Joe Biden oversaw key U.S. policies in both China and Romania—presenting a clear conflict of interest that raises disturbing questions about whether Biden sold his office for profit.
Comer and the Oversight Committee pledged to “investigate the Biden family and associates’ engagement with U.S. officials” in exchange for payments. “The Committee is committed to rooting out fraud, waste, and abuse that exist at the highest level of the federal government,” the memo said.
“I want to be clear: This committee is investigating President Biden and his family’s shady business deals that capitalize on Joe Biden’s public office and risked our country’s national security,” Comer stated. “We believe that the president has been involved in this from the very beginning, obviously.”
This week’s revelations are of course only the latest in the saga of the Biden family’s shady foreign and financial entanglements. As a result of the infamous “Laptop from Hell,” Hunter Biden’s abandoned computer which revealed that he received $5.8 million from Chinese business interests between 2013 and 2018, Congress is now actively investigating whether any payments went to Joe Biden himself.
As conservative advocacy group America First Legal reported earlier this spring, records also show that Biden “personally signed off on the official statement in response to questions from reporters about whether Hunter’s position with Burisma undermines the Vice President’s credibility in pushing anti-corruption measures in the country”—despite Joe Biden’s repeated insistence that he was in no way involved with Hunter’s business ventures.
As members of the House Oversight Committee acknowledged during the press conference, their findings from this week should be more than enough to warrant further investigations by the DOJ and the media. “Guys, you in the press, this is easy pickings,” said Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL-19). “I’m giving you Pulitzer stuff.”
Of course, despite the fact patterns pointing to Biden’s corruption, the institutional left will almost certainly remain silent on the Committee’s groundbreaking findings—even as they continue to divert large segments of their resources to investigating and persecuting Republicans.
“Corruption is a cancer,” Biden said in a 2014 speech to government officials in Romania. “A cancer that eats away at a citizen’s faith in democracy.”
Ironically, it is thanks to Biden himself that unprecedented numbers of American citizens are now losing faith in democracy. And as his approval ratings continue to sink to historic new lows, Biden may soon find that—no matter how hard he may try—he cannot escape the legal, political, and moral consequences of his actions.
