On Wednesday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) issued a memo that included bank records for Hunter Biden, confirming that the president’s son received over $20 million from foreign oligarchs during his father’s vice presidency.
As reported by Fox News, the 19-page memo provides screenshots of partially redacted bank records, showing millions of dollars in payments from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina, and Kazakhstani oligarch Kenes Rakishev. The memo also confirmed that then-Vice President Biden met Baturina, Rakishev, and a Burisma representative at several different dinners.
“Then-Vice President Biden met—in person, for significant periods of time—with those individuals or their representatives,” Comer’s memo declares. “Then-Vice President Biden joined approximately 20 phone calls on speakerphone with Hunter Biden’s foreign business associates and attended dinners with foreign oligarchs who paid huge sums of money to Hunter Biden. Joe Biden, ‘the brand,’ was the only product the Bidens sold.”
Following two previous memos detailing similar payments to the Biden family from China and Romania, Congressman Comer says that the Bidens have now been confirmed to have received at least $20 million from foreign entities and oligarchs.
“During Joe Biden’s vice presidency, Hunter Biden sold him as ‘the brand’ to reap millions from oligarchs in Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine,” Comer said on Wednesday in a press release.
Featured in the third memo are three of the firms founded by Hunter Biden and other business partners, whose records were subpoenaed by the committee: Rosemont Seneca Partners, LLC; Rosemont Seneca Thornton, LLC; and Rosemont Seneca Bohai, LLC.
For example, Baturina – the widow of the former Mayor of Moscow Yury Luzhkov – wired a payment of $3.5 million to Rosemont Seneca Thornton on February 14th, 2014. Hunter’s ex-business partner Devon Archer confirmed the validity of the payment during his recent congressional testimony.
The most explosive revelation of Archer’s testimony was the confirmation that then-Vice President Biden, despite his repeated claims that he was never aware of his son’s business dealings, had indeed been included on over 20 business-related phone calls with Hunter via speaker phone. Archer says that the Vice President and his son worked together to sell “the brand” to foreign businesses, promising political influence and access to the Vice President’s office in exchange for large sums of money.
No doubt All “fake news” per the MSM
