James Biden tells House committee that his brother 'has never had any involvement' in his business dealingsJames Biden , brother of President Joe Biden, arrives for a deposition before the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees on President Biden's impeachment inquiry in Washington, D.C, Feb. 21, 2024.

Republicans have accused the president's son, Hunter Biden, and, to a lesser extent, James Biden, of serving as conduits for Joe Biden to quietly benefit from their foreign business arrangements -- allegations the White House has forcefully denied. "I will allow the Republicans to reconstruct for you whatever they're trying to accomplish, but I can assure you that he has restated our basic understanding ... which is that Joe Biden had nothing to do with these business ventures," Raskin added. "He was not involved in any way and he was not receiving any money from them. He was not a business partner, or a business associate.

Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., has separately taken a keen interest in two checks collectively worth $240,000 that James Biden sent his brother, Joe Biden, in 2017 and 2018.Comer has framed those transactions -- which occurred after Biden left the vice presidency and before launching his presidential bid -- as evidence that he received "laundered" money from James Biden's business deals, including one with a Chinese energy firm.
