The Biden Family ‘Business’ was Selling Access to Joe Biden Around the World

WASHINGTON—This past December, President Biden lied to the American people when he claimed he “did not” interact with his family’s foreign business associates.

But bank records don’t lie. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability evidence uncovered through bank records and witness testimony proves Joe Biden interacted with nearly all of his son Hunter Biden’s foreign business associates. President Biden spoke by phone, attended dinners and meetings, and had coffee with his son’s foreign business associates. These individuals include Russian and Kazakhstani oligarchs, a Burisma executive, and Chinese nationals who collectively funneled millions to his son.

Joe Biden knew about, participated in, and benefitted from his family’s corrupt business practices.

Devon Archer, a Biden family associate, confirmed during a transcribed interview that Joe Biden was “the brand” his son sold around the world. While he was Vice President, Joe Biden dined with Russian Oligarch Yelena Baturina, Kazakhstani Oligarch Kenes Rakishev, and Burisma’s corporate secretary Vadym Pozharsky at Café Milano in Washington, D.C. These dinners occurred as the foreign nationals were collectively paying Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, millions of dollars. Then-Vice President Joe Biden also met with Jonathan Li, a Chinese national who was Hunter Biden’s associate, and wrote a college letter of recommendation for his daughter.
