WATCH: Byron Donalds Lays Out Money Trail Proving Biden Received CCP Cash
During Wednesday’s Biden impeachment inquiry, Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL) outlined the complex financial trail connecting President Joe Biden to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) through a series of transactions involving family members and associates.
According to Rep. Donalds, the money trail began with a transaction on August 3, where stipulations of a deal were purportedly agreed upon, evidenced by WhatsApp text messages. The following day, a sum of $100,000 was wired into a Wasco PC account from CEFC Infrastructure.
“The rubber meets the road with these transactions,” Donalds stated. On August 8, a further $5 million was transferred from the Northern International Capital account to Hudson West III, a bank account controlled by Hunter Biden and CEFC associate Kevin Dong.
This money, Donalds pointed out, originated from an account tied directly to the CCP, highlighting the submission of bank statements demonstrating this transfer to the committee’s record.

Continuing, Donalds detailed how, within the same timeframe, $400,000 was wired from Hudson West III to Wasco PC, again under Hunter Biden’s control. This was followed by a series of transfers involving James Biden and ultimately led to a $50,000 withdrawal by Sarah Biden, James Biden’s wife, from the Lion Hall Group.
The culmination of the transactions was a check from Sarah Biden’s account to Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. on September 3, 2007, marked as a loan repayment. Notably, Biden’s accountant reportedly has no record of the payment.
In his closing remarks, Donalds explicitly linked these financial activities to the CCP, saying, “It is clear that the source of this money came from CEFC and that CEFC is a company that is directly linked to the CCP and Chairman Xi Jinping.”
In June of last year, whistleblowers raised claims of direct interference by the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) in the criminal investigation of President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. The whistleblowers’ testimony outlined recurring unjustified delays, a lack of transparency, and threats from the Defense Council in an alleged campaign to “delay, divulge, and deny” the investigation.
The whistleblowers alleged that the DOJ refused to investigate a WhatsApp message from Hunter to Chinese businessman Henry Zhao, where Hunter threatened that Joe Biden would “destroy” Zhao if payments were not made to the Bidens immediately.
Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) reported at the time that the U.S. Attorney of Delaware, David Weiss, had been denied the opportunity to bring charges against Hunter in both 2022 and 2023. Smith cited whistleblowers stating the DOJ was intervening and overstepping in the investigation despite a clear case for tax liability on Hunter Biden’s payments.
IRS investigators were reportedly internally hindered, facing issues such as a lack of U.S. Attorney independence, recurring unjustified delays, unusual actions outside the normal course of any investigation, a lack of transparency across the investigation and prosecution teams, and bullying and threats from the Defense Council.
Earlier in the day former business associate of Hunter Biden, Tony Bobulinski, testified before the House Oversight Committee. Chairman James Comer (R-KY) had previously extended invitations to Bobulinski, alongside Hunter Biden and Devon Archer, another figure involved in the investigation; however, Biden and Archer did not attend.
The testimony took a turn when Bobulinski said he had witnessed actions by President Biden that could be deemed criminal. Pressed for details, Bobulinski enumerated “Corruption statutes, RICO and conspiracy, DARA.”
