Bank Records Show China-Linked Company Made Direct Payments to Joe Biden

A Hunter Biden business entity tied to China made direct monthly payments to Joe Biden in the months leading up to the former vice president's announcement that he would run for president in 2020, according to newly released subpoenaed bank records from the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. This is at least the third example of a direct payment to Joe Biden that stems from a family-owned business entity. "Now, Hunter Biden's legal team and the White House's media allies claim Hunter's corporate entities never made payments directly to Joe Biden," Comer said. "Today, the House Oversight Committee is releasing subpoenaed bank records that show Hunter Biden's business entity, Owasco PC, made direct monthly payments to Joe Biden," the Kentucky Republican said. The committee subpoenaed the financial records of Hunter Biden and of James Biden in September. James Biden wrote two separate checks to Joe Biden for $200,000 and $40,000, respectively. An FBI confidential informant said in a formal document that executives from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid a $5 million bribe to Joe Biden and another $5 million to Hunter Biden in 2016 when Biden was still Barack Obama's vice president.
