A former business partner of Hunter Biden said that President Joe Biden met with the chief of a CCP-linked Chinese energy company in 2017.
Rob Walker, former business partner of President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, testified in Congress that the elder Biden met with the chief of a Chinese energy firm linked to the ruling communist party in 2017.
Mr. Walker testified behind closed doors in January as part of the House impeachment inquiry against President Biden, but a transcript of Mr. Walker’s testimony wasn’t released until Feb. 13 by the House Oversight Committee.
According to the newly-released transcript, Mr. Walker testified that, after the elder Biden met with the chief of the Chinese energy conglomerate and about 10 others, an affiliated firm wired $3 million to Robinson Walker LLC, a company Mr. Walker controlled.
Financial records related to Robinson Walker LLC, obtained by the House Oversight Committee, show that Mr. Biden and other Biden family members (though not President Biden) received roughly $1.3 million from Rob Walker-related accounts.
When Mr. Walker testified in January, the chairman of the GOP-led House Oversight Committee, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), said the testimony served as proof that “the Bidens sold the ‘Biden Brand’ to enrich the Biden family.”
In his testimony, Mr. Walker insisted that he only ever did “legitimate business” with Mr. Biden and that President Biden “was never involved in any business activities we pursued.”
The White House said that Mr. Walker’s testimony had refuted Republican claims that President Biden was involved in his son’s business dealings.
The release of the transcript comes on the same day that Tony Bobulinski, another former business associate of Mr. Biden, is set to testify behind closed doors at the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees.
Mr. Bobulinski had previously accused President Biden of lying when he said he was never involved in his son’s business dealings.
Shortly before the 2020 presidential election, Mr. Bobulinski came forward with a series of explosive disclosures prompted by messages discovered on the younger Biden’s laptop.
Among them was correspondence involving Mr. Biden where a 10-percent cut from a Chinese business deal would be “held by H for the Big Guy.”
