In a recent interview on "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo" on Fox News, House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) asserted that Joe Biden directly benefitted from his family's influence peddling schemes. Comer highlighted how Joe Biden misled the American people about his knowledge of and involvement in his family's questionable business dealings.
Chairman Comer pointed to bank records and memoranda that showed Joe Biden profited from laundered money earned by his family through their connections. He stated, "We traced the $40,000 check that Joe Biden received all the way back to that WhatsApp message where Hunter Biden claimed his father was sitting beside him while he was shaking down the Chinese operative. That’s where that $40,000 was triggered. Just a few weeks after that text message, that $40,000 landed in Joe Biden’s pocket after the Biden’s laundered it. But that money came from China – further evidence that Joe Biden benefited from his family’s influence peddling scheme."
Regarding the ongoing investigation, Comer expressed frustration with the obstacles faced by the committee. He mentioned that they have encountered resistance from the Bidens' attorneys, as well as various government agencies such as the IRS, DOJ, Treasury, and FBI. Comer revealed, "I would predict somewhere around two dozen subpoenas in the very near future."
One of the key aspects of the investigation involves the Bidens' claim that certain payments were classified as "loans" to avoid reporting them on taxes. Comer explained, "The reason they did these complicated transactions was to disguise the source of the revenue and to deceive the IRS from paying taxes. What you’re going to see in the coming weeks are a lot of loans. Anytime the Bidens have money, they’re going to claim it was a loan because you don’t have to report loans on your taxes."
Comer emphasized that Joe Biden had deceived the American people by denying any involvement in his family's business dealings. He stated, "I can’t emphasize this enough. This was a very organized criminal scheme by the Bidens. Here’s the problem for Joe Biden. He lied about his knowledge and involvement of his family’s shady influence peddling schemes. We’ve proven the family was influence peddling. Even the Democrats and the media won’t touch that. We have proven the Bidens were influence peddling. Now what we’re looking at is Joe's involvement."
In summary, Chairman Comer's statements on "Sunday Morning Futures" shed light on the allegations surrounding Joe Biden's family and their influence peddling schemes. The evidence presented suggests that Joe Biden directly benefitted from these activities, contrary to his previous denials. The committee is set to issue subpoenas in the near future to further investigate these claims.
