On Thursday, Congressman James Comer (R-Ky.), Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, claimed that recently-subpoenaed bank records will reveal that the Biden family accepted bribes from foreign nationals to the tune of at least $30 million.
As the New York Post reports, Comer said in an interview on Fox News that “we have more bank records coming in, we’re going to exceed $10 million this week. And I think we’ll get up to between $20 and 30 million.” Comer has said that at least nine members of the Biden family have received foreign income from bribes and shady business deals, including son Hunter, brother James, sister-in-law Sara, son Beau’s widow and Hunter’s ex-girlfriend Hallie, Hunter’s wife Melissa, and Hunter’s ex-wife Kathleen Buhle.
The other three members of the Biden family who have received foreign income, according to Comer, are one grandchild and two of his brother’s children.
The claims come amid ongoing revelations concerning an FBI informant who formally accused Biden of bribery while he was vice president, recording his claims in an FD-1023 form. The document, which has been reviewed by the Oversight Committee, claims that both Joe and Hunter Biden each received a bribe of $5 million from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, in exchange for a promise that the elder Biden would drastically change U.S. foreign policy.
Since then, Comer has subpoenaed additional Biden bank records from Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, HSBC, and Cathay Bank.
“We’re going to continue to follow the money,” Comer added in his Thursday interview. “This is going to be hard for Joe Biden to explain.”
“We’ve already tracked down a little over $10 million,” Comer said in a later Fox News interview. “We’re pretty confident from other sources that that number will grow to beyond $20 million and it could be more if you factor in the president’s brother, who dealt mainly in the Middle East. We haven’t even gotten to him yet.”
The recent revelations represent the strongest claims yet of corruption from Joe Biden and members of his family, who have long been accused of using their political influence to earn money from numerous foreign business deals. The Burisma controversy has frequently been at the center of such claims, with Hunter being appointed to the board despite having no experience in the energy sector. Joe Biden later publicly boasted about using his influence as vice president to have Ukraine’s then-Prosecutor General, Viktor Shokin, fired after he launched an investigation into Burisma for possible corruption.
When and who of the Democrat Last Stand is going to break? Do the Democrats really believe this is OK? Senators Grassley, Graham and Kennedy had a good day yesterday in Senate Oversight Meeting ‘softening up’ Dick Durbin, and I think that Mr. Durbin in his heart can not continue to support Joe Biden. We are getting closer to the truth here.
Only Republicans would find a reason not to impeach Joe Biden. Never have I seen so much corruption and so little that is being done to fix it. Yes, Republicans have done an admirable job of searching, finding and reporting but the House needs to do what Democrats would be doing even as a minority based on a fraction of the evidence.
Durbin has the heart of a party loyalist just like the communists in the old USSR had. In fact Wray is aware that if you don’t play by the rules of a Marxist party in power you will be terminated and all opportunities for further employment will be cancelled. When Wray was in charge under “W” he threatened to quit. That would be unthinkable today by anyone occupying his position.
