On Wednesday, Jason Chaffetz, the former chair of the House Oversight Committee, responded to the new evidence uncovered in an investigation into President Biden’s family’s international business deals, saying that the business deals were “corruption at the highest level.”
Earlier that day, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer released evidence in the form of bank records that show “the Biden family, their associates, and their companies received over $10 million from foreign nationals and their companies… Chinese nationals affiliated with the Bidens created limited liability companies in the US and then, in a short time, transferred their interests to a Chinese company that sent money to the Biden.”
Chaffetz responded to the evidence on Fox News.
“This is corruption at the highest level, to not only enrich the Biden family en masse, but also corruption that is an intelligence security risk for the United States of America,” Chaffetz began. “If you look at the money and size, particularly in China, we are talking about people with direct ties to the highest levels of the Chinese government where Hunter Biden is involved and engaged in securing, for instance, one of the biggest cobalt mines in the world.”
“So Joe Biden goes with Hunter Biden to China in 2013, and less than two weeks after they return from that trip, suddenly Hunter Biden gets all of this money? Are you kidding me? What other evidence do we need of treason and those types of things?” he continued. “And don’t tell me that Joe Biden is oblivious to this. At one point Joe Biden is going on Air Force Two with Hunter Biden and Hunter Biden brings his business partner Jeff Cooper on the flight and there are direct emails saying we want to do business when we land in Mexico.”
“As it relates to what is going on in Romania, how in the world can they justify? This guy in Romania was convicted of bribery,” Chaffetz added. “And so he engages the U.S. Firm, which just happens to be Hunter Biden, to lean on the Department of Justice to make sure that they can reduce the sentencing and the prosecution there in Romania. Louis Freeh, the former F.B.I. Director under Clinton, says thank you to Biden and deposits $1 hundred thousand in the Biden grandkids’ account.”
“What other evidence does the media need and does Congress need?” Chaffetz concluded. “If they just brush this under the rug and don’t pay any attention to it and don’t ask the president, that White House press room should erupt this afternoon. Anything short of that is just so bad.”
