REPORT: Biden Family Lawyer Represented Chinese Gangster Involved In Drug Trade
The top lawyer for President Joe Biden’s family has been connected to a Chinese national serving as the ring leader for an international drug smuggling ring, according to Breitbart.
Abbe Lowell, who has defended Hunter Biden vociferously in his ongoing criminal trials, previously gave representation to Ng Lap Seng, a member of the Shui Fong triad. The connection was first reported by Peter Schweizer in his new book, “Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans” about the international drug trade.
As president of the Government Accountability Institute, Schweizer argues the connection between Seng and Lowell is significant given the deep flaws in the Biden administration’s handling of the southern border where record amounts of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids are crossing into American cities.
Schweizer writes that the “conflicting personal ties” are troubling, given that the Biden family is also deeply enmeshed in controversies around its acceptance of money from companies connected to the Chinese communist government.
Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, has represented a variety of well-known American clients from New Jersey senator Bob Menendez to members of the Trump family. But he was also a legal representative for Ng Lap Seng. Lowell has also represented Qin Fei, who is accused of being a Chinese intelligence officer, and Lum Davis, who pled guilty to illegally lobbying for the Chinese government. The problem of conflicting personal ties when it comes to confronting China on fentanyl extends beyond the Biden family to members of his administration. And so does the silence.
Elsewhere in his book, Schweizer argues that the Biden administration, led by Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, has feigned ignorance about China’s involvement in the drug trade and deflected when challenged to hold the world superpower accountable.
“[A]ccording to officially released notes of the conversations he [Biden] has had with President Xi, he has not raised the subject with the Chinese president as of this writing. When the so-called monkeypox virus emerged in 2022, the virus received “czar” status in the White House, even though, at the time, it had not claimed a single American life. Fentanyl gets no “czar” status at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And China has not been called to account,” he writes.
“In late 2022, the Biden administration named twenty-two countries as being transit points for drugs or producers of drugs. One country not on the list? China. In announcing his administration’s drug strategy, Biden could only promise, ‘We will look to expand cooperation with China . . . to disrupt the global flow of synthetic drugs and their precursor chemicals.'”
“Biden’s secretary of state, Antony Blinken, has made excuses for Beijing, absurdly arguing that some of the precursors arriving in Mexico from China have been shipped by accident. He cautiously added that mentioning precursor shipments from China was ‘not about pointing fingers.'”
Former President Donald Trump has made a point on the campaign trail of connecting President Biden to China, lambasting him for various business deals involving Hunter and his brother James Biden which landed lucrative, multi-million dollar payments from various Chinese-backed corporations. One of those, CEFC, funneled money through various shell companies, some of which ultimately made its way into President Biden’s personal bank account. The Democratic incumbent has denied he was complicit in the business dealings.
