SNIP "Chairman Smith: That’s what we’re doing in this impeachment inquiry, is following the facts. But you just highlighted, Maria, several examples. There’s actually more than 20 different countries where we’ve seen some kind of business associate with Hunter Biden and foreign entities. President Biden said that his son had not received or his family had not received any money from the Chinese. According to documentations that’s came forward of bank records. We know that that is no longer true. There’s money coming in from all different entities. We’ve seen it from Ukraine, Romania, China, all of it. We’ve also...

A former business associate of Hunter Biden has contested Joe Biden’s recent denial of any interaction with his son’s foreign business associates. During a press conference on Wednesday, Biden labeled allegations of such interactions as “a bunch of lies.” However, one of Hunter’s former business associates responded to the President’s remarks by stating to Fox News Digital that Biden’s claim was “complete malarkey.” The source declared that there is “plenty of evidence” to challenge his denial. On Monday, the House Oversight Committee disclosed subpoenaed bank records indicating that Hunter’s business entity, Owasco P.C., had made direct monthly payments to President...

Bombshell new records released by the House Ways & Means Committee have revealed that Joe Biden used email aliases to speak with his son’s business associates hundreds of times while in office as Obama’s vice president.

Hunter Biden once admonished a Mexican business magnate for ignoring him after he set up multiple meetings with Joe Biden during his vice presidency. Hunter Biden emailed Miguel Aleman Magnani, grandson of a former Mexican president and former CEO of Interjet, in February 2016 expressing his displeasure at Magnani for ignoring him.

Democrat President Joe Biden’s U.S. Ambassador to Germany, Amy Gutmann, has returned to the United States just days after first reporting for duty during the Munich Security Conference, taking a commercial flight back to the States after Vice President Kamala Harris refused to let her fly home on Air Force Two. Gutmann, who presented her credentials just days ago — Thursday of last week — to begin work as the U.S. Ambassador to Germany, attended meetings at the Munich Security Conference with world leaders and fellow top U.S. officials, including Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

nother day, another gaffe made by President Joe Biden before a major world leader. What else is new? While meeting with United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday, Biden told one of his favorite stories about one of his favorite topics: Amtrak. It wasn’t a particularly noteworthy moment as far as banal chatter between foreign leaders goes, except for one, small problem. Despite Biden having previously recounted the mildly interesting anecdote on more than one occasion, it's been exhaustively debunked and probably never happened. While meeting with Johnson in the Oval Office, Biden told Johnson he’d heard he had...

Oh, we know it well. That big beautiful blue Boeing 747-200B that ferried our beloved President Trump from MAGA rally to MAGA rally as he "whistle-stopped by Air Force One." Crowds of thousands waited patiently in rain and cold, cheering madly as that gleaming big bird approached the airport while RSBN's veteran reporter admitted to getting choked up every time it appeared on the horizon. I know just how he feels. And this is the plane the MSM implied Joseph the Senile flew home to Delaware aboard on Friday. Fiddlesticks! While I fully realize that every plane carrying the person...

She’s Jill “The Jokester” Biden. The wife of former Vice President-turned-presidential hopeful Joe Biden can’t resist a good gag — which once led to her cramming herself into the overhead bin on Air Force Two, The Hill reported Wednesday. “The White House is a serious place, with serious people, doing serious work. If you’re not careful, it can grind you down,” Biden, a college English professor, wrote in her just-released memoir, “Where the Light Enters: Building a Family, Discovering Myself.” She hatched the idea to pop out of the overhead compartment ahead of a scheduled flight to California during President...

BaghdadOn a cool December morning, Vice President Dick Cheney and U.S. ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad waited for their distinguished guests on the sidewalk outside of the ambassador's residence in the heart of the fortified Green Zone in downtown Baghdad. Moments passed, but no one came. As Khalilzad chattered in Cheney's ear, the vice president stood looking at the cloudless blue sky with his hands clasped behind his back, sporadically shuffling his right foot back and forth. They waited some more. An eager press corps-with cameras and microphones, pens and pads at the ready--waited to capture the handshake between Cheney...

WASHINGTON — Vice President Dick Cheney exercised his executive iPod privileges on a recent Air Force Two flight where electrical plugs were at a premium because of a power fritz. On the long haul back from a four-day trip to the Middle East highlighted by a surprise trip to Iraq, Cheney made it a priority to get his iPod a little juice — commandeering use of one of the few power outlets on the jet. The power grab aboard his own plane frustrated reporters traveling with him who were trying to file stories and pushed curious journos to find out...

Friday, Dec. 23, 2005 10:04 a.m. EST Dick Cheney's iPod Irks Reporters He's the Vice President, Air Force Two is "his" place, and Dick Cheney can do whatever he wants on it, but that doesn't matter to the gaggle of reporters who cover his every movement. On Cheney's trip back to the U.S. from the Middle east, members of the press who wanted to charge their laptops and other mobile devices in order to file their stories on Cheney's doings couldn't - because the Veep wanted to listen to his iPod. It happened this way: When Cheney was traveling home...

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22, 2005 — After a four-day overseas trip that took him to four countries in the Middle East, Vice President Dick Cheney really wanted to get his iPod charged for that long return flight to Washington. Since it is his plane, the vice president's iPod took priority and was plugged into one of the only working power outlets on Air Force Two, frustrating reporters who were trying to file stories.

ABOARD AIR FORCE II - Vice President Dick Cheney didn't suffer for comfort on the cavernous cargo plane that he rode into Iraq and Afghanistan this week.The Air Force loaded the plane with the "silver bullet," a mobile home in the sky strapped down in the middle of the belly. The accommodations included sleeping and working quarters that protected him from the noise and cold of the cargo hold during a more than five-hour flight into Baghdad.The rest of his traveling party was not so lucky. Cheney's senior staff and junior aides were assigned to a cramped three rows of...
