Add 6 More Biden Family Members to Roster of Those Who May Have Benefited From Hunter's Business Hijinks
RedState has reported extensively on the investigation of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee into the questionable business dealings of Hunter Biden and numerous Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) generated in relation to them. As noted by the Oversight Committee in January:
According to media reports, more than 150 of Hunter Biden and the Biden network’s international business transactions have generated suspicious activity reports (SARs) by U.S. banks for further review by the Treasury Department to determine if there is illegal activity or a threat to national security. The Treasury Department’s longstanding practice was to provide these reports to Congress, but the Biden Administration has restricted access to them, raising questions about a possible effort to hide the Biden network’s suspicious business dealings. Last Congress, then-Ranking Member Comer repeatedly requested the Biden family and their associates’ SARs, but Biden’s Treasury Department refused to provide the requested information.
Despite Treasury’s attempt to slow-walk the requested information, on Monday, members of the committee were able to view the SARs in camera (in private) at the Treasury Department.
Comer, R-Ky., and members of the committee, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene, R-Ga., visited the Treasury Department Monday to view financial records related to the Biden family and their past business associates as part of their investigation.
Following that visit, Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) issued a statement regarding their review:
Thousands of pages of financial records related to the Biden family, their companies, and associates’ business schemes were made available to members of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, which confirm the importance of this investigation. The Biden family enterprise is centered on Joe Biden’s political career and connections, and it has generated an exorbitant amount of money for the Biden family. We’ve identified six additional members of Joe Biden’s family who may have benefited from the Biden family’s businesses that we are investigating, bringing the total number of those involved or benefiting to nine.
“The Oversight Committee will continue to pursue additional bank records to follow the Bidens’ tangled web of financial transactions to determine if the Biden family has been targeted by foreign actors and if there is a national security threat. We will soon provide the public with more information about what we’ve uncovered to date. The American people need transparency and accountability, and the Oversight Committee will deliver much needed answers.
For those keeping score, that’s six Biden family members in addition to Joe Biden’s brother (James), son (Hunter), and daughter-in-law (Hallie), who appear to have reaped some benefit from Hunter’s varied, questionable business dealings, via Biden family associate Rob Walker, who acted as a pass-through for Chinese-owned State Energy HK Limited. Banking records obtained by the committee have already revealed that:
From 2015 through 2017, Biden family members and their companies received over $1.3 million in payments from Rob Walker-related accounts.
The Biden family members who received money from this account included:
o Hallie Biden, who received two separate payments totaling $35,000 in 2017;
o James Brian Biden Sr. (James Biden);
o Robert Hunter Biden (Hunter Biden); and
o A bank account identified as an unknown “Biden.” The Committee is continuing to investigate the identity of this account holder.
Presumably, the “unknown Biden” referenced there is among the six additional referenced by Comer today, but who knows? At this point, one might reasonably ask: Are there any Biden family members who didn’t profit from Hunter’s highly questionable business dealings?
