Documents show Chinese donors linked to Hunter Biden‘s business dealings have been moving money to the University of Pennsylvania. The university is home to the Penn Biden Center, where dozens of classified documents from President Joe Biden’s time as vice president were found late last year.

According to Straight Arrow News’ exclusive Media Miss tool, just one outlet on the left is covering this story.

University of Pennsylvania records show it received at least $105 million in donations from Chinese donors from mid-2018 to mid-2022. The records were obtained by conservative watchdog Americans for Public Trust through a public records request.

“On the heels of learning that the Biden family received millions of dollars from foreign entities, this latest revelation raises further questions about the scope of President Biden’s ties to China,” Americans for Public Trust Executive Director Caitlin Sutherland told the Washington Examiner. “We now know that the University of Pennsylvania — home to Joe Biden’s namesake think tank — received a massive increase in contributions from China and Hong Kong as he was ramping up his presidential campaign, and has raked in millions from CCP-tied donors since he took office.”

The university has been criticized for receiving money from Chinese donors as the ongoing criminal probe into Hunter Biden gains steam. The IRS whistleblower, who claimed to have information about Biden’s mishandling and political interference and was subsequently removed from the investigation, is accusing the Justice Department of retaliation.

Similar to the Hunter Biden Chinese donor story, only one outlet on the left is reporting on the retaliation accusation, according to Straight Arrow News’ exclusive Media Miss tool.

On Monday, May 15, attorneys for the whistleblower wrote a letter to the House and Senate justice committee informing them that the whistleblower’s entire team had been removed at the request of the Justice Department.

“The department cannot comment on the matter,” a Justice Department spokesperson said in response to the accusation. “As to any investigation of Hunter Biden, as the attorney general has said, that investigation is being handled by U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who has full authority to make investigative decisions and to bring charges in any jurisdiction as he deems appropriate.”
