Six more Bidens may have gained from family business schemes: Comer 

Six more members of the Biden clan may have benefitted from the family’s various business schemes, bringing the total number of kin implicated up to nine, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer revealed Monday.

The findings come after the Kentucky GOP congressman and other lawmakers on the panel examined suspicious activity reports sent by banks to the Treasury Department alerting of potential criminal activity in transactions involving President Biden’s family. 

“Thousands of pages of financial records related to the Biden family, their companies, and associates’ business schemes were made available to members of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, which confirm the importance of this investigation,” Comer said in a statement.

“The Biden family enterprise is centered on Joe Biden’s political career and connections, and it has generated an exorbitant amount of money for the Biden family. We’ve identified six additional members of Joe Biden’s family who may have benefited from the Biden family’s businesses that we are investigating, bringing the total number of those involved or benefiting to nine,” he said.

Last month, Comer announced his committee had found evidence that at least three Biden family members and two associates received payments that originated from China in 2017, fewer than two months after Joe Biden left office as Barack Obama’s vice president. 

Bank records subpoenaed by the committee show that State Energy HK Limited, a firm affiliated with Chinese Communist Party-backed energy company CEFC China Energy, wired $3 million to Biden family associate Rob Walker in March 2017, who then divvied it up over a period of about three months, Comer said. 

It appears that first son Hunter Biden received about $610,000 in payments as part of the 2017 deal, while first brother James Biden got roughly $360,000, and the president’s daughter-in-law, Hallie Biden, received $25,000.

The panel’s March memo also listed an “Unknown Biden” who received four payments in 2017 totaling $70,000.

On Monday, Comer did not provide any clues as to who the six new Biden family members identified by the committee were.

“The Oversight Committee will continue to pursue additional bank records to follow the Bidens’ tangled web of financial transactions to determine if the Biden family has been targeted by foreign actors and if there is a national security threat,” Comer said. “We will soon provide the public with more information about what we’ve uncovered to date. The American people need transparency and accountability, and the Oversight Committee will deliver much needed answers.”

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who reviewed the 100 or so suspicious activity reports alongside Comer, said in a tweet Monday that “it’s wild the amount of [Biden] family members involved” and hinted that evidence has been uncovered pointing to “prostitution rings.

“I have to tell you, there are more Biden’s involved than we knew previously. And every time you look under a stone, there’s so much more you have to investigate because it’s wild the number of family members involved,” Mace said in a video posted on Twitter.

“And it’s even –  the amount of money that we’re talking about in these suspicious activity reports is astronomical. And the accusations therein, the source of the funding, where the money’s going, the shell companies, prostitution rings, etc. It’s insanity to me that it’s not been investigated in the way that it should be,” she added.
