On Thursday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer revealed that subpoenaed bank records show that Joe Biden’s daughter-in-law Hallie Biden was the recipient of Chinese cash in 2017, the identity of whom was previously unknown.
Hallie Biden is the widow of Joe Biden’s oldest son, Beau Biden, who passed away from brain cancer in 2015. She is the mother to two of President Biden’s grandchildren, Natalie and Robert Hunter.
She began dating Beau’s brother, Hunter Biden, the following year, staying with him until 2019.
The subpoenaed bank records reveal that Hallie received $35,000 in 2017 from the Biden family associate Jon “Rob” Walker after he got $3 million from the Chinese State Energy HK Limited.
The money was paid to Hallie in two transfers. The first payment was made from Robinson Walker LLC in the amount of $25,000.
Comer has suggested that, since the bank records don’t list the first names of all the Biden family recipients, it is possible that other relatives are involved in the family’s alleged financial crimes and foreign business dealings.
“Over the course of several years, members of the Biden family and their companies received over $1.3 million in payments from accounts related to their associate, Rob Walker,” Comer said. “Most of this money came as a result of a wire from a Chinese energy company and went not only to Hunter and James Biden but also to Hallie Biden and an unknown Biden.”
“It is unclear what services were provided to obtain this exorbitant amount of money,” Comer added.
A third of the Chinese money was sent to a Biden family associate, James Gilliar, and about $1,065,000 was distributed among Biden family members over the course of three months.
Earlier in the week, Comer commented on the Democrats downplaying the important contents of the Biden family’s bank records.
“Democrats described our subpoena as providing nothing more than records for Papa John’s and Starbucks,” said Comer. “But they failed to mention the records we’ve received documenting the Biden family’s business schemes.”
Prior to this revelation, the only way Hallie had been involved in Biden family crime was when she took a gun away from Hunter and threw it away outside of a grocery store.
Hunter Biden is currently under federal investigation by the US attorney’s office in Delaware for tax fraud and illegal foreign lobbying, among other potential crimes.
