President Joe Biden claimed from the 2020 presidential debate stage that his son has not “made money” from China, but Hunter Biden confirmed on Wednesday that he received several payments from Chinese Communist Party-linked companies and individuals.
Hunter’s confession, revealed during a closed-door testimony to the House Oversight Committee, not only corroborates evidence uncovered by Republican impeachment investigators but also invalidates claims made by Joe on the 2020 campaign trail to evade scrutiny for his involvement in Hunter’s foreign business deals.
According to the deposition transcript released Thursday, an unnamed interviewer asked Hunter to confirm or deny Joe’s assertions that the Biden family never “received any money from China” and Joe “never interacted with any of your business associates.”
The younger Biden initially claimed those statements were correct. Even when the interviewer noted that if Hunter introduced Joe to Ye Jianming, the founder and then-chairman of the Chinese Communist Party-linked energy company CEFC, “that would be untrue.” Hunter obfuscated.
“No, that is not untrue. I’m telling you this. The question being asked, that you’re stating, is that my father said I never received any money from China, the Government of China,” Hunter replied. --->READ MORE HERE
At long last, first son Hunter Biden affirmed during his Wednesday impeachment inquiry deposition that his father, Joe, was “the big guy” referenced in an email about a business deal with a Chinese state-linked energy firm that yielded millions for Biden family members and other associates, more than three years after The Post broke the story — but rejected the notion that the president was ever penciled in for a 10% stake.
The deposition represents the first time the 54-year-old Hunter has admitted that his former business partner James Gilliar was referring to Joe Biden when he raised the prospect on May 13, 2017, of the first son holding a 10% stake in the lucrative joint venture involving CEFC China Energy “for the big guy.”
“I truly don’t know what the hell that James was talking about,” the first son said when asked about the reference, according to a transcript released Thursday.
“All I know is … what actually happened.”
The email, found on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, was first reported by The Post in October 2020 as part of a bombshell series of reports on the first son’s influence-peddling schemes.
Hunter Biden and his allies had long insisted that information found on the laptop either was not his or had been manipulated by bad actors — with dozens of former intelligence officials insisting the trove bore the hallmarks of Russian election interference.
Later in his response, Hunter said that Gilliar’s suggestion of his dad getting a stake was a “pie in the sky idea” with Biden leaving public life after eight years as Barack Obama’s vice president.
“Like, ‘Joe Biden’s out of the office. Maybe we’ll be able to get him involved,'” the first son said.
“Remember, again, is that Joe Biden, for first time in 48 years, is not an elected official and is not seeking office. And so James is probably, like, ‘Wow, wouldn’t be great if a former Vice President could be in our business together?'”
Hunter claimed to his interrogators that if he had seen the email from Gilliar at the time, “I would have picked up the phone and said, ‘You’re out of your mind.'” --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to relevant/related stories:
