New documents surrounding the business dealings of Hunter Biden have Washington tongues wagging over an unnamed member of the Biden family who took a cut from a $3 million payment made to a family associate.
According to House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.), the committee will soon announce the identity of a Biden family member who received proceeds from a $3 million payment made to associate John “Rob” Walker. The payment originated from two individuals with close ties to the communist government of China and the unnamed Biden has not previously appeared in transactions, Comer told Fox News host Sean Hannity Monday night:
“The very next day after that wire was received, the Walker account started transferring money into three different Biden family members’ accounts, including a new Biden family member that’s never before been identified as someone being involved in the influence-peddling scheme,” Comer told Hannity.
The case against President Joe Biden’s sons Hunter and James Biden ratcheted up this week when Comer announced a sweeping subpoena for private bank transactions among the brothers and Walker going back 14 years. The information sought relates to the trio’s participation in a venture with CEFC China Energy, according to the Oversight committee’s ranking Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.).
Comer downplayed the inquiry into all three individuals, who are not public employees, and insisted the committee’s investigation relates to President Biden.
“The media says, ‘Well, this is a Hunter Biden investigation.’ This is an investigation of Joe Biden. And we’re investigating the Biden family and again, after this new batch of information, it expands,” Comer said on “America’s Newsroom.”
Comer went on to speculate that President Biden, who had vacated the Office of the Vice President at the time, had knowledge of an operation by Walker and both Biden brothers. If the operation attempted to influence government opinions, relationships, or contracts on behalf of CEFC China Energy, all three individuals would have been required to register as foreign agents.
