House Oversight Committee has unveiled bank records which revealed that the Biden family received over $20 million in foreign earnings from Hunter Biden’s Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine ties.
Committee chairman James Comer (R-KY) also alleged that the First Son appeared to deliver the foreign business officials access to his father. The post-Soviet associates allegedly dined at least once at Washington’s Café Milano with then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son.
“During Joe Biden’s vice presidency, Hunter Biden sold him as ‘the brand’ to reap millions from oligarchs in Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine. It appears no real services were provided other than access to the Biden network, including Joe Biden himself,” Comer said in a statement.
“And Hunter Biden seems to have delivered. This is made clear by meals at Café Milano where then-Vice President Joe Biden dined with oligarchs from around the world who had sent money to his son,” he added. “It’s clear Joe Biden knew about his son’s business dealings and allowed himself to be ‘the brand’ sold to enrich the Biden family while he was Vice President of the United States.”
According to the bank records, Hunter earned up to $1 million per year as his salary for serving as one of the board members on Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings. His tenure in the company began when his father assumed control of the Obama administration’s Ukraine portfolio in 2014.
The records further reflected a Porsche being bought by Hunter after Kazakhstani businessman Kenes Rakishev transferred $142,300 in April 2014 in his account.
The documents also corroborated Hunter’s former friend and business partner Devon Archer’s deposition to the committee July 31, where he revealed $3.5 million being transferred on February 14, 2014, from Russian billionaire and former Moscow first lady Yelena Baturina to an entity called Rosemont Seneca Thornton, which was controlled by Archer and Hunter Biden.
Rosemont Seneca Thornton in turn transferred $750,000 of Baturina’s funds to Archer on March 11, 2014, and another $2,752,711 on the same day to Rosemont Seneca Bohai, an account created a day prior to the transfer. According to Archer’s testimony in front of the House Oversight Committee, Rosemont Seneca Bohai was controlled by himself and Hunter Biden.
