Republicans on the House Oversight Committee claim an FBI document describes how President Joe Biden engaged in a bribery scheme when he was vice president. They claim the alleged bribe was from a major Ukrainian oil company that wanted the Bidens’ help in gaining U.S. drilling rights in exchange for millions of dollars.
Straight Arrow News contributor Ben Weingarten takes a look at the complicated financial transactions that he says are evidence of Joe and Hunter Biden engaging in a criminal scheme where money was exchanged for policy decisions.
The GOP-led House Oversight Committee has shown the Bidens and associates created a web of over 20 companies — most formed during Joe’s vice presidency — through which they received over $10 million from foreign nationals’ companies, from China to Romania. That money flowed to Bidens, many with no relevant skills or experience, and at times without evidence they did any work.
Republican Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson previously detailed dubious Biden family dealings with Russians, Kazakhs and Ukrainians. Ukraine is where the alleged Biden bribe originated and where son Hunter served on the board of corruption-laden energy company Burisma, while Biden managed U.S. foreign policy there. The Bidens’ monetizing of Joe’s office, including in Ukraine, and its apparent efforts to disguise the associated transactions, dovetail with the bribery allegation.
“After foreign companies sent money to business associates’ companies,” the House Oversight Committee has reported, “the Biden family received incremental payments over time to different bank accounts. These complicated financial transactions appear to conceal the source of the funds and reduce the conspicuousness of the total amounts made into the Biden bank accounts.”
