Facts

  • In a statement made on Tuesday, Republican Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) claimed that bank wires obtained via a subpoena show Hunter Biden receiving payments from Beijing which listed President Joe Biden's Delaware home as the recipient's address.1
  • The statement, issued on behalf of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, claims that $260K was sent from Chinese business partners in Beijing to Hunter Biden in 2019.2
  • The bank wires, one of $250K and another of $10K, are believed to be in relation to BHR Partners — a business created as part of a joint venture between Hunter Biden's company Rosemont Seneca, and Chinese investment firm Bohai Capital.3
  • Comer continued that 'bank records don't lie but President Joe Biden does,' referring to a statement made by the president on Oct. 22, 2020, in which Biden claimed that his son had not made money from China.4
  • So far, the six previous bank record subpoenas by the committee have only requested the records of Hunter Biden's business associates. In response, Abbe Lowell – Hunter Biden's attorney – has stated that the allegation 'evaporates in thin air the moment facts come out.'5
  • The House Oversight Committee, alongside the House Judiciary Committee, promised following November 2022's midterm elections to 'pursue all avenues' of potential wrongdoing within the Biden family's business dealings.6

Narratives

  • Left narrative, as provided by Daily kos. While the entirety of Congress should be focused on the looming threat of a government shutdown, House Republicans have made up another Hunter Biden scandal. The half-baked conspiracies against the Biden family unsurprisingly fall flat on their face once again. Republicans once again wish to mislead the public with a fantasy agenda, rather than dealing with genuine looming policy concerns.
  • Right narrative, as provided by New York Post. There's now no question that Joe Biden lied to the American people when claiming that he lacked any knowledge of his son's foreign business dealings. The records now show that the Biden family indeed used political office for financial advancement. These are serious allegations with gravity — the GOP must press ahead with its investigation of Hunter Biden.
