House Republicans said they have bank records showing Joe Biden’s home is listed as the beneficiary for payments from Chinese Nationals. The Chinese payments were received in 2019, while Biden was running for President.
The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Republicans, under the leadership of Chairman James Comer, obtained two bank wires revealing Hunter Biden received payments originating from Chinese nationals when Joe Biden was running for President and that Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware home was listed as the beneficiary address for both wires.
Republicans said at the time of these bank wires, Hunter Biden was living in California.
House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Republicans provided these key facts about the bank wires:
- Jonathan Li and Hunter Biden developed a business relationship during Joe Biden’s vice presidency.
- On July 26, 2019, Hunter Biden received a $10,000 wire from Wang Xin. On August 2, 2019, Hunter Biden received a $250,000 wire from Jonathan Li and Tan Ling. Both wires originated in Beijing and Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware home is listed as the beneficiary address for both wires.
- Nearly three months later, on October 13, 2019, Hunter Biden’s attorney George Mesires stated that Hunter Biden received no money from BHR and did not disclose any payments from Jonathan Li.
- Evidence shows Joe Biden developed a familiar relationship with Jonathan Li during his vice presidency and prior to these payments to Hunter Biden. Devon Archer, a Biden business associate, described how Joe Biden met with Jonathan Li in Beijing, China, had a phone call with him, and later wrote college recommendation letters for his children.
- In December 2013, during a vice presidential trip to Beijing, reports indicate that “Hunter, shortly after arriving in Beijing, on December 4, helped arrange for Li to shake hands with his father in the lobby of the American delegation’s hotel.”
- On October 22, 2020, Joe Biden falsely said, “My son has not made money, in terms of thing about, what are you talking about? China. The only guy who made money in China is [President Donald Trump].”
House Republicans said they “will leave no stone unturned as we deliver transparency and accountability on behalf of the American people.”
