‘In 2020, Joe Biden told Americans that his family never received money from China. We’ve already proved that to be a lie.’
House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) subpoenaed and obtained two bank wires revealing that Hunter Biden had received payments from Chinese nationals that were sent to his father, Joe Biden, who was then running for President.
The wire transfers, of upwards of $250,000, were made in July and August 2019 from Beijing, and listed the president’s Wilmington, Delaware, home as the beneficiary address in both cases.
“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,” said Mr. Comer in a statement released on X.
Both wires were sent to Hunter Biden from Jonathan Li, a Chinese national and CEO of the investment fund BHR.
“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,” Mr. Comer stated.
The New York Post found that soon after leaving his post in the Obama administration, the former vice president had written college recommendation letters for Mr. Li’s son and daughter. Emails obtained by Fox News revealed that Mr. Li had reached out to Hunter Biden and his business partners in 2017 asking for advice for his son, who was applying to Brown University, Cornell, and NYU. The then-president of Rosemont Seneca had FedExed Mr. Li’s son’s resume directly to the the president of Brown. Despite the connections, he was not accepted by the school.
The New Yorker had in 2019 reported that Mr. Biden introduced Mr. Li to his father in 2013, when the vice president took the trip to China, and that Rosemont Seneca, the company Hunter Biden worked for, had signed a deal with Mr. Li to create BHR.
