Hunter Biden business associate Eric Schwerin never noted a purported $40,000 loan from President Biden to his younger brother James — despite having access to the now-president’s checking and corporate accounts as his bookkeeper and tax preparer, a congressional interview transcript released Monday shows. Schwerin, 54, said during the Jan. 30 deposition with House impeachment investigators that “I don’t recall” Joe Biden having loaned out any money between 2009 and 2016, during which Schwerin helped the then-vice president prepare tax and financial disclosure forms. “Certainly through the 2016 tax period, I don’t recall any loans that he made,” said Schwerin,...

Hunter Biden was paid $1 million by Chinese firm CEFC to act as attorney for their employee, Dr Patrick Ho, but now Ho is threatening to sue the first son within seven days unless he gets the money back — because he claims Hunter did no legal work for him. Ho sent a legal letter to Hunter last week requesting that their attorney-client agreement be terminated immediately and threatening legal action unless he receives a detailed list of services provided by Hunter and reimbursement for the unused funds, as laid out in the 2017 contract. Ho’s letter, sent by Hong...

Joe Biden got a $40,000 check in 2017 from China funds that originated from a Biden family deal with a CCP-linked company, CEFC China Energy Co., James Biden admitted to the House impeachment inquiry on February 21, according to a transcript reviewed by Breitbart News. The acknowledgment raises questions about Joe Biden’s previous claims that his family never made money from China.

The House Oversight Committee on Friday released a transcript of James Biden’s February 21 closed-door impeachment inquiry interview. Joe Biden’s slimy brother and ‘family fixer’ James Biden worked with Hunter Biden on various overseas business ventures. One of their more notable ventures included CEFC, an energy company linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). James Biden admitted to lawmakers that Joe Biden received $40,000 in laundered Chinese funds. Joe Biden has repeatedly claimed he never took a dime from China and was never involved with his son Hunter’s overseas business dealings. A demonstrable lie. Biden, in a ‘catch me if...

Kentucky’s attorney general is investigating a health care company that wired $200,000 to James Biden the same day he wrote a check for that amount to his brother and future president Joe Biden. James Biden worked as a consultant for Americore Holdings LLC, a Florida-based hospital chain that later collapsed. Americore declared bankruptcy in Kentucky in 2022 under federal law amid reports of massive staff departures, poor patient care, and poor equipment at one of the hospitals in the state. It’s not clear whether the probe by the office of Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman, a Republican, extends to members...

President Joe Biden’s brother James said during the House impeachment inquiry on Wednesday that he threw away Hunter’s Biden first diamond received from CEFC China Energy Co, a source familiar with the interview told Breitbart News. Hunter received a second, $80,000 diamond from CEFC chairman Ye Jianming in February 2017. Hunter received the first diamond when Joe Biden was vice president to entice him to do business with CEFC, the source said. Hunter gave it to James to have it appraised, according to the source, but James said he threw it away.

President Biden’s younger brother James said the future president was sitting right next to him during a business call about a now-bankrupt hospital business James allegedly fleeced, according to a new report — mirroring first son Hunter Biden’s infamous assertion to a Chinese businessman in July 2017 that he was “sitting here with my father” in a shakedown text message. Joe Biden also met with the founder of Americore Health Enterprises before it went belly-up — harming its rural patients in the process — and he was at one point penciled in for an equity stake, Politico reported. Current presidential...

President Joe Biden’s brother received multiple payments from a health care company even though there are no records of him performing any work for the money, a witness in the impeachment inquiry against the president told lawmakers. “What he actually did, I don’t know,” Carol Fox, the trustee of the bankruptcy proceedings for the health care company Americore Health LLC, said in a closed-door interview with U.S. House of Representatives members in December 2023, according to a transcript made public on Feb. 7. “I did not think that he provided services to the debtors,” Ms. Fox added later. That belief...

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability has released a transcript of its impeachment inquiry interview with a representative of Americore, the now-bankrupt healthcare company that loaned presidential brother James Biden hundreds of thousands of dollars before it went under. Carol Fox, the trustee who represented Americore during its bankruptcy proceedings, said she could neither determine what role James Biden played nor identify any paperwork backing up the loans made to him from the struggling company in 2018. According to the transcript of her testimony reviewed by Just the News, Fox told the committee that Biden purportedly provided consulting services...

The Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, until it wasn't. Joe Biden never met any of the family's business partners or got proceeds from the ventures, until he did. And now there was an ethics agreement to govern Hunter Biden art sales during the Biden presidency until the art dealer in the middle of those sales revealed there wasn't, at least to his knowledge. Renowned international art dealer Georges Bergès, whose galleries range from Berlin to New York, and represents Hunter Biden as an artist is the latest figure to blast a hole into the Biden White House narrative about...

A lawyer just registered as a foreign agent for work he conducted eight years ago for Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, when Hunter Biden was on the board. The disclosure raises questions about whether Hunter Biden could face FARA charges in the future that could complicate his father President Joe Biden's re-election run. The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) requires law firms and lobbyists to disclose work representing the interests of foreign clients.

WASHINGTON (TND) — Hunter Biden claimed he was all out of money in December 2018, according to text messages revealed in new IRS whistleblower documents. The documents were released by the House Committee on Ways and Means Wednesday. In the exchange, Hunter was writing to his uncle, James Biden. "I can work when I’m in NYC all day every day for the next 3 months from 8-12z [sic] But I can’t pay alimony w/o Dad or tuitions or food and gas,” Hunter wrote. “Really it’s all gone.” Hunter went on to say that his dad, now President Joe Biden, "basically...

New details about James Biden’s $200,000 check to Joe Biden emerged after the trustee for Americore’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings testified to the House Oversight Committee. House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) recently uncovered a $200,000 direct payment to Joe Biden after he received James and Hunter’s subpoenaed documents. In 2018, Jim Biden received $600,000 in ‘loans’ from Americore Health LLC, a failing/bankrupt rural hospital operator. According to bankruptcy documents, Jim Biden received the loans “based upon representations that his last name Biden could open doors and that he could obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on...

Out of all the topics the Joe Biden White House didn’t want to see in Sunday’s Washington Post, this had to be up there on the list. The capital city’s newspaper of record published recordings Sunday of President Joe Biden’s brother, James, engaged in scoring off his famous last name during the late 1990s. The fact that the recordings were made by FBI investigators couldn’t have made things easier in the Biden household either. The Post article was headlined “James Biden’s dealmaking caught on FBI tapes in unrelated bribery probe,” and just the words alone had to be unsettling at...

The House Oversight investigation into President Joe Biden and his family's influence-peddling schemes digs all the way back to ties to the late-’90s big tobacco settlement, including James Biden's deal-working caught on FBI tapes in an unrelated 2008 bribery scheme. James Biden's deal-making getting picked up on FBI tapes in 2008, as The Washington Post reported Sunday, are resurfacing amid the House Oversight investigation and the official impeachment inquiry. Mississippi trial attorney Richard Scruggs admitted to paying James and Sara Biden's "consulting firm" $100,000 to help grease the wheels for the Senate to pass a 1997 big tobacco law that...

President Biden’s brother James was secretly recorded by the FBI during a bribery investigation into a Mississippi trial attorney who shelled out $100,000 to his consulting firm in the late 1990s, a report said on Sunday. Richard Scruggs, the trial attorney, hired James and Sara Biden’s DC consulting firm while seeking to gin up support for tobacco legislation being contemplated by Congress in 1998, the Washington Post reported. Neither James, 74, nor his brother President Joe Biden, 81, were implicated in any major criminal wrongdoing in the case. But the revelation comes amid an impeachment probe into alleged influence-peddling by...

Hunter Biden sent his father, President Joe Biden, monthly payments from the bank account he used to receive money from Chinese business associates, newly released bank records show. House Oversight Committee James Comer shared a video Monday on Twitter revealing redacted bank records containing direct payments to Joe Biden from Hunter Biden’s Owasco P.C. bank account. “Today, the House Oversight Committee is releasing subpoenaed bank records that show Hunter Biden’s business entity, Owasco PC, made direct monthly payments to Joe Biden. This wasn’t a payment from Hunter Biden’s personal account but an account for his corporation that received payments from...

The House Oversight Committee issued three subpoenas on Wednesday for President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, his brother, James Biden, and a Biden family business associate, Rob Walker. These are three of the most consequential subpoenas that House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has filed during his investigation. The subpoenas are for depositions for testimony related to the House GOP's ongoing impeachment inquiry. Hunter Biden and James Biden are centerpieces of Comer’s investigation into Biden and his family’s overseas business. Through their investigation, they have found that Hunter Biden received millions from foreign oligarchs and companies. Walker was a business...

President Joe Biden is at the center of an extremely lucrative 'extortion scheme' between members of his family and foreign actors - including China - charge Republicans. Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., unveiled the existence of a $40,000 direct payment to Joe from 2017 labeled as a 'loan repayment' that he claims is 'laundered money' that can be traced back to the Chinese. Comer's Oversight Committee is spearheading the probe into the Biden family's 'influence peddling' operation as part of the larger impeachment inquiry into the president. According to new bank records they obtained through recent subpoenas for James and Hunter...
