Bank documents obtained by Breitbart from the House Oversight Committee reveal that the Biden family company received more than $10 million over a period of years from business schemes in Romania, China and other countries in exchange for what appeared to be influence-peddling.
The committee revealed that Biden family members, business associates, and companies created a network of more than 20 companies. Many of these were founded during Joe Biden’s Vice-Presidency. The committee revealed that the Biden family and business associates received more than $10 million in total from foreign companies.
The funds seem to contradict the claims of President Joe Biden that his family did not receive any money from China. The funds raises questions about the Biden family’s return on the money they received in the form of products or services.
Romanian Transactions
Bladon Enterprises has paid Robinson Walker, LLC more than $3 million between November 2015 and May 2017. Bladon Enterprises was Gabriel Popoviciu’s Cypriot business that he used in Romania. Robinson Walker, a business partner of the Bidens’ family, sent $1.3 million in cash to the Bidens.
According to the committee, based on wire transfers, the Biden family received about $1.038 from Robinson Walker, LLC after Bladon Enterprises deposited. The committee revealed that 16 of 17 payments made by Bladon Enterprises from Robinson Walker, LLC to the Biden family accounts were made when Joe Biden served as vice president.
The committee reported that payments to Robinson Walker, LLC began immediately after Vice President Biden received Romanian President Klaus Iohannis at the White House, on September 28, 2015.
The meeting was summarized in a readout that stated the Vice President “welcomed President Iohannis’ emphasis on anti-corruption and rule of law efforts as a way to strengthen national security, promote greater investment, and increase economic growth.” Iohannis added Joe Biden had “voiced his satisfaction with Romania’s progress in the fight against corrupt.”
On May 21, 2014, Joe Biden, the then vice president, visited Romania. He delivered a speech to the Romanian prime minister, judges, prosecutors and leaders of parliament. The Romanian prosecutors at the time were investigating Popoviciu. He was later charged with and convicted of bribery related offenses.
Breitbart reported that Hunter Biden started working for Popoviciu during the spring of 2015. Hunter Biden’s diary shows that he met Joe Biden at least three times between July 2015 and March 2016, about helping Popoviciu resolve a “conviction arising from his purchase of an acreage of government land at a steep discount.” The New York Post reported this.
Chinese Transactions
The bank records obtained by the committee reveal that Hudson West III (a company managed by Hunter Biden) sent more than $4 million between August 2017 to October 2018 to Hunter Biden-related companies, and more than $75,000 to James Biden-related companies. Bank records obtained by committee reveal that Gongwen Biden and Hunter Biden each owned 50 percent of Hudson West II. Gongwen dong was “Chairman Ye’s CEFC emissary”, according to an email that was verified by Hunter Biden and the Washington Post.
CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming, who is closely connected with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), also paid Hunter $1 million for legal services during 2017. Hunter received a large, diamond valued at $80,000 from Ye in February 2017.
The committee also revealed that Hunter Biden had received $100,000 more from Shanghai Huaxin, a Chinese company. This money was a part of an apparent CEFC deal between Ye and Dong.
The committee reported that on May 11, 2017 Dong founded CEFC Infrastructure in Delaware. Hudson West V was the only equity member in CEFC Infrastructure. Hudson West V is a company formed as a partnership between Hunter Biden and Hudson West V. Banking documents reveal that Dong listed himself as Director of Hudson West V, and its address was Xicheng District Beijing in China.
A week later, Hudson West V transferred 100 percent of their interest to Shanghai Huaxin Group Limited. (Shanghai Huaxin), an entity incorporated in China. Shanghai Huaxin injected $10 million into the CEFC Infrastructure Bank Account on June 30, 2017.
Hunter Biden’s legal firm, Owasco P.C., received $100,000 from CEFC Infrastructure about a month later.
These payments are on top of what the committee has already disclosed. Comer revealed on April 17 that nine Bidens, or six more than had been previously revealed, may have benefited from the international business schemes of their family. Hunter, James and Hallie Biden are currently on the payroll, along with a fourth Biden who is not identified. The committee teased the release of the identities that it had so far hidden on April 25. At that time, a spokesperson for the Committee declined to reveal any identities.
The identified family members collectively received $1.3 million in payments from a Biden associate who had been wired $3,000,000 by a Chinese energy firm two months after Joe Biden left his vice presidency.
Breitbart Senior contributor and Government Accountability Institute president Peter Schweizer published Secret Empires in 2018 and Profiles in Corruption in 2020. Both books were #1 bestsellers on the New York Times Bestseller list. They revealed how Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and their Air Force Two crew flew to China in 2013, before Hunter Biden’s company signed a $1.5billion deal with the Chinese Bank of China subsidiary less than two months after the trip. Schweizer’s work revealed the Bidens’ other lucrative and vast foreign deals.
Emma-Jo Morris, Breitbart’s Political Editor, and Miranda Devine’s investigation at the New York Post into the “laptop of hell” that was Hunter Biden also made international headlines. They revealed, together, that Joe Biden had a 10 percent stake in the company formed by the scion with the Chinese Communist Party’s highest officials.
