House Oversight Committee members are sifting through new bank records related to the complicated web of accounts, companies, and business partners that Hunter Biden, the president’s brother James Biden, and other members of the Biden family used to collect millions of dollars from foreign entities starting when Joe Biden was vice president.
Lawmakers already have evidence that Walker’s company paid more than $2 million to Biden family members from 2015 to 2017, after receiving millions from a Chinese energy company to which Hunter Biden has multiple ties, as well as from a Romanian company. Hunter Biden, according to a review of emails found on his abandoned laptop, actively worked to help Popoviciu avoid prosecution.
While the meeting did not appear to have taken place, the exchanges show how Hunter Biden’s business associates worked their connections to Obama administration officials to help Popoviciu as he faced an indictment. Then-Vice President Joe Biden had traveled to Romania and spoken out forcefully against corruption in Romania while his son performed the work, for which he did not register as a foreign agent.
Like in other foreign consulting deals, Hunter Biden did not register as a foreign agent, and instead of taking his money from Burisma directly, he took it in the form of a loan from a company owned by Archer, another close business partner.
