James Comer reveals Beijing bank wires to Hunter Biden at Joe Biden’s home address
September 26, 2023 06:32 PM
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) revealed that Hunter Biden received a substantial sum from Beijing in 2019, and the beneficiary address for the wire transfer was that of Joe Biden.
Hunter Biden received two wires in 2019, one for $10,000 on July 26 and one for $250,000 on Aug. 2. Joe Biden announced his candidacy for president on April 26 that year. The transfers are the most recent payments from China that Hunter Biden is found to have received, and they further contradict Joe Biden’s claim in 2020 that his family never received money from China.

“Bank records don’t lie but President Joe Biden does. In 2020, Joe Biden told Americans that his family never received money from China. We’ve already proved that to be a lie earlier this year, and now we know that two wires originating from Beijing listed Joe Biden’s Wilmington home as the beneficiary address when he was running for President of the United States. When Joe Biden was vice president, he spoke on the phone and had coffee with Jonathan Li in Beijing, and later wrote a college letter of recommendation for his children,” Comer said in a statement.
“Joe Biden’s abuse of public office for his family’s financial gain threatens our national security,” he continued. “What did the Bidens do with this money from Beijing? Americans demand and deserve accountability for President Biden and the First Family’s corruption. The Oversight Committee, along with the Judiciary and Ways and Means Committees, will continue to follow the evidence and money to provide transparency and accountability.”

The substantial amount received, as well as the Bidens’ Wilmington, Delaware, address being the recipient, add substantially to speculation that Joe Biden may have been aware of the payment.
Republicans have long accused Biden of serving Chinese interests and launched a House Oversight investigation upon taking a House majority in 2022. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) launched an impeachment inquiry of the president earlier this month.
