LISTEN HERE:
Some unsettling information has come out, with sources indicating that there could be as many as 12 members of the Biden family who have profited from the influence peddling activities of President Joe Biden and his son. According to the Oversight Committee’s leading Republican, Chairman James Comer, there may be hardly any ‘left for a Christmas picture’ due to the extent of financial schemes involving the ‘entire Biden family.’ Currently, nine family members are known to be implicated in suspect deals. Comer suggests that there could be at least three more. Although most names have not been disclosed, Comer noted earlier that the Republicans’ investigation into Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) found that President Biden’s brother, Jim Biden, and his son Beau’s widow, Hallie Biden, certainly gained advantages from foreign business transactions. Democrats continue to dismiss these accusations, claiming that Comer and his Republican allies are focusing on allegations that remain unproven and not connected to any genuine misconduct as of now.
When questioned about how many family members were involved, Comer told a news host, ‘right now, we have nine. But I believe, in the end, that number will be at least 12.’ He went on to assert that this was a broad ‘Biden family influence peddling scheme,’ pointing out that he had yet found a legitimate business on the Biden end of these global ventures.

The Department of Justice is scheduled to have meetings with lawyers representing Hunter Biden this week, although the details and potential ramifications for the president’s son remain unclear. From Comer’s perspective, the DOJ is faced with a difficult decision over ‘what do you do with this many family members of the president?’
Comer continued, somewhat sarcastically, that the holiday season might be quite bleak for the family: ‘I mean, there’s not going to be anybody left for a Christmas picture if the DOJ did their job and went in there and indicted everyone that has any type of fingerprints involved in this influence peddling scheme.’ Indeed, it seems that it’s not just one or two individuals, but rather ‘the entire family’ that may be caught up in this web.
Members of the Oversight Committee have been meticulously examining SARs following a subpoena of the Treasury Department to explore the business dealings of President Biden and his family, primarily looking into Hunter Biden’s actions.
Comer shared to media that there are six specific decisions made by Joe Biden, either as vice president or president, that deeply concern them. He notes that these decisions likely connect to payments made to LLCs from legitimate businesses as a method of laundering money for Biden family members.
“THERE’S NOT GONNA BE ANYBODY LEFT FOR A CHRISTMAS PICTURE… IT’S THE ENTIRE FAMILY!”

In describing the investigation, Comer said, ‘I found legitimate businesses that were paying the LLCs that were then turning around and laundering the money back to the Bidens.’ He went on to emphasize the lack of legitimate business dealings found on the Biden side of things.
Comer speculates that if none of these LLCs had any legitimate business dealings, then it could be regarded as influence peddling. That would translate to acting as a foreign agent without registering as one, according to technical and legal terminology.
In emphasizing the severity of the matter, Comer remarked, ‘This is bad. There are more laws that appear to me that have been broken than just tax evasion. And there are a lot more Bidens involved than just the president’s son and his brother.’
Last week, the Oversight Committee’s Republican members reviewed documents implying that six more Biden family members profited from business deals tied to the president’s influence peddling, in addition to the previously identified three individuals. The GOP-led panel is now sifting through the Biden family’s financial records and speaking with those implicated in any alleged foreign business transactions.
Comer stated, ‘There are six specific decisions that Joe Biden made either as vice president or president that are very concerning to us that we believe could potentially lead back to payments that were made to these LLCs that were then laundered down to the Biden family members.’
“You know, investigating Hunter and the Biden family is about like tracking a bleeding bear through a snowstorm. There is evidence everywhere that would point out that this family has been involved in influence-peddling schemes for decades. And this is very concerning.” -Comer

He also revealed, ‘We’ve now identified 6 additional members of Joe Biden’s family who may have benefited from shady deals. This brings our total to 9.’, which should be of great concern to the American public.
Democrats on the committee have once again criticized these investigative efforts by their Republican counterparts, accusing them of merely seeking ‘political dirt’ on the Bidens.
As the investigation continues, Comer has promised that more details will soon be provided. A spokesperson for the chairman from Kentucky said that the panel is not currently providing the names of any additional family members who may have benefited from these deals, aside from Jim and Hallie Biden.

Democrats are livid, claiming that Comer and his Republican colleagues on the panel are jumping to conclusions and misrepresenting SARs as evidence in their investigation.
As the Democrats on the panel said in a statement, ‘Committee Republicans continue to mischaracterize Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) as evidence of misconduct or criminality, instead of calling them what they are: unsubstantiated tips that rarely result in any follow-up by law enforcement.’, and they view this as nothing more than a fishing expedition.
Comer also accused Hallie Biden – who was married to President Biden’s late son Beau – of influence peddling by receiving a $35,000 payment connected to a Chinese firm.
Last week, Republicans identified Hallie as the third member of the Biden family involved in Comer’s investigation, increasing the tally to nine. They also alleged that she received a portion of the $3 million sent from China to an associate of Hunter Biden, whom she dated from 2016-2019 after her husband Beau succumbed to brain cancer.
In response, the White House issued a statement accusing Republicans of attacking Hallie as they continue to accuse the family of profiting from business deals around the world using their Biden name.

According to a Republican memo, Hallie received $35,000 in two transfers in March from Biden family associate John ‘Rob’ Walker, following a $3 million wire from the Chinese State Energy HK Limited, a company affiliated with CE C China Energy. This information only bolsters the need for a thorough investigation into the suspect financial dealings of the Biden family.
