New evidence from the Biden family’s bank records show that an individual named Rob Walker used his company to transfer over $3 million in funds from a Chinese energy firm to multiple Biden family members, including Hunter Biden and another family member that had not previously been tied to the family’s business dealings.

The Biden family has been under Congressional investigation for months due to its ties to overseas business dealings, especially on the part of Hunter Biden.

 

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) said on Tuesday that the House Oversight Committee has access to the Biden family’s bank records and has found a $3 million transfer from China that occurred during the last year of Joe Biden’s vice-presidency, in March 2017. A full memorandum of the findings so far has been published on the Oversight Committee website.

 

Comer said on Tuesday:

 

After two months of dragging their feet, the Treasury Department is finally providing us with access to the suspicious activity reports for the Biden family and their associates’ business transactions. It should never have taken us threatening to hold a hearing and conduct a transcribed interview with an official under the penalty of perjury for Treasury to finally accommodate part of our request.

Said Comer:

 

According to bank documents we’ve already obtained, we know one company owned by a Biden associate received a $3 million dollar wire from a Chinese energy company two months after Joe Biden left the vice presidency. Soon after, hundreds of thousands of dollars in payouts went to members of the Biden family.

 

Comer told NewsMax he believes dozens of international banks, including China, were involved in transferring money to the Bidens.

 

He added that “We believe there are at least a dozen more banks that had transactions from our adversaries not just in China, but also in Russia and our adversaries in Ukraine, so we're just going to continue to follow the money.” 

 

The House Oversight Committee has been conducting an investigation into the Biden family after years of suspicious overseas business dealings on the part of Hunter Biden.

 

According to a memo by the Committee:

 

Chairman James Comer and Oversight Committee Republicans are investigating the Biden family’s domestic and international business dealings to determine whether these activities compromise U.S. national security and President Biden’s ability to lead with impartiality.

 

Members of the Biden family have a pattern of peddling access to the highest levels of government to enrich themselves, often to the detriment of U.S. interests. We are committed to following the Biden family and associates’ money trail—consisting of many complex, international transactions worth millions of dollars—and providing answers to the American people.

 

The American people deserve to know whether the President’s connections to his family’s business deals occurred at the expense of American interests and whether they represent a national security threat.

 

Democratic Ranking Member Jamie Raskin has accused Comer of following former President Trump’s agenda in “a dragnet of political opposition research on behalf of former President Trump.”

 

Said Raskin:

 

I fear your actions may also reveal that your priority is catering to former President Trump’s demands that Congressional Republicans use our Committee’s power to seek any and all information that could be used to politically weaken and embarrass President Biden, his family, or, seemingly, anyone they have ever associated with, in service of President Trump’s recently announced bid to recapture the presidency.

Comer states the investigation is for national security purposes, saying to Fox’s Jesse Watters that the Biden family has a seemingly long history of “influence peddling,” or lobbying, which would be illegal for an elected official or his immediate family members.

 

Comer said in a statement to National Review:

 

We are going to continue to use bank documents and suspicious activity reports to follow the money trail to determine the extent of the Biden family’s business schemes, if Joe Biden is compromised by these deals, and if there is a national security threat.

 

…If Treasury tries to stonewall our investigation again, we will continue to use tools at our disposal to compel compliance.

The Oversight Committee will be working to discover the relationship between the Biden family, Russia, China, Ukraine, and possibly other countries.
