President Joe Biden’s son, other family members, and their associates were paid more than $20 million by Russians and other foreigners while President Biden was vice president, according to bank records released on Aug. 9.
Russian, Ukrainian, and Kazakhstan nationals were among those paying the Biden family and their associates, according to the records. Russian billionaire Yelena Baturina, for instance, paid $3.5 million to a company called Rosemont Seneca Thornton, with about a third going to Hunter Biden associate Devon Archer. Another $2.75 million went to an account started just one day earlier for Rosemont Seneca Bohai on Feb. 13, 2014.
Mr. Archer testified recently that he and Mr. Hunter Biden co-owned the account.
Ms. Baturina, the widow of former Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov, was among those present at dinners in Washington that President Biden attended, Mr. Archer recently told members of Congress. That included a dinner held within months of the payment.
The White House hasn’t denied the allegations.
Also at the dinner, according to Mr. Archer, was ex-Kazakhstan Prime Minister Karim Massimov. Mr. Massimov was sentenced to prison time this year for allegedly participating in an attempted coup in his home country. An associate of Mr. Massimov’s, who met with Mr. Hunter Biden, paid Mr. Hunter Biden the exact amount that was sent to a car dealership in New Jersey for a sportscar for Mr. Hunter Biden, according to the records and Mr. Archer.
Mr. Archer also testified that Mr. Hunter Biden placed President Biden on the phone about 20 times and that Mr. Hunter Biden, in exchange for payments, delivered the Biden family “brand.”
“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. And Hunter Biden seems to have delivered,” Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) said in a statement.
The White House, a lawyer who has represented President Biden, and an attorney representing Mr. Hunter Biden in his criminal case didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
Mr. Comer, who chairs the U.S. House of Representatives Oversight Committee, has previously released records detailing payments to the Biden family, including President Biden’s brother, from Chinese and Romanian nationals.
The committee has so far subpoenaed six different banks, receiving thousands of records, including the new ones, as they probe the Biden family. They haven’t yet subpoenaed records of members of the family. None of the payments so far uncovered have been directly tied to President Biden, though at least one account that received money was held by an unidentified Biden.
President Biden falsely said on the campaign trail in 2020 that Mr. Hunter Biden hadn’t made money from China. He also said, “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in July after some of the records were released that the president was “never in business with his son.” She later denied that the statement was a shift from President Biden’s previous claims.
Democrats have largely defended the president. Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) noted that, according to Mr. Archer, no business was discussed when President Biden was placed on the phone. Mr. Archer also said that he didn’t witness President Biden talk business during the 2014 and 2015 dinners.
“This investigation has uncovered ZERO evidence connected to President Biden. In fact, the evidence is clear that President Biden had nothing to do with Hunter’s businesses,” Mr. Goldman said in a recent statement.
The committee said the records have shown “deficiencies … in the current legal framework regarding ethics laws and disclosure of financial interests related to the immediate family members of vice presidents and presidents—deficiencies that may place American national security and interests at risk.”
Members are looking to craft legislation that would address the issue.
“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,” Mr. Comer said on Aug. 9. “The House Oversight Committee will continue to follow the money trail and obtain witness testimony to determine whether foreign actors targeted the Bidens, President Biden is compromised or corrupt, and our national security is threatened.”

MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D.
Don't you just love the way Garland dropped the special counsel announcement on a Friday afternoon--their usual technique for doing something unnoticed? That sure blew up in his face! . . .
