The committees said the Biden family and its associates received more than $27 million from foreign individuals or entities since 2014.
They also alleged that the Biden family leveraged Biden’s position as vice president to obtain more than $8 million in loans from Democrat benefactors.
The loans “have not been repaid and the paperwork supporting many of the loans does not exist and has not been produced to the committees.”
The Republicans said the conspiracy took place while Biden was serving as vice president.
Hey Repubs in Congress, ONLY THREE YEARS LATE. Useless RINO Trash!!!

Torches and Pitchforks!!!!
Glad to see these guys on on top of things.

Retired Joe Biden will pocket hefty Dual Govt Pensions (that we know of)
by Demian Brady July 18, 2024, newsbusters.org
Due to the two separate federal pension programs that President Joe Biden is eligible for, he stands to collect taxpayer-funded retirement benefits worth $413,000 following the end of his tenure. Presidents are paid an annual salary of $400,000.
Upon leaving the White House, presidents have generally been financially well-off and are afforded numerous opportunities for lucrative book deals, speeches, or other money-making endeavors. Regardless of the net worth of former presidents, they are entitled to an annual pension equivalent to the salary of a cabinet secretary, currently $246,400 in 2024 and often adjusted annually.
There is also a completely separate pension program available for members of Congress. President Joe Biden previously served in the Senate for 36 years and another eight years as Vice President, a role which serves as presiding officer in the Senate, making him eligible for a starting pension worth $166,374.
Biden is eligible to collect both pensions, for a combined payout that could start at $412,774, before any 2025 adjustment of the presidential pension (which won’t be known until late December).

President Biden engaged in “impeachable conduct,” House Republicans found in their months-long impeachment inquiry, declaring in their highly anticipated report that he “abused his office” and “defrauded the United States to enrich his family.”
Fox News Digital obtained a copy of the 292-page report prepared by the House Oversight Committee, House Judiciary Committee and House Ways and Means Committee. Those panels have been leading the impeachment inquiry against Biden.
“The Committees have accumulated evidence demonstrating that President Biden has engaged in impeachable conduct,” the report, which lays out evidence gathered to date, says.

Republicans said there is “overwhelming evidence” that Biden participated in a “conspiracy to monetize his office of public trust to enrich his family.” They alleged that the Biden family and their business associates received tens of millions of dollars from foreign interests by “leading those interests to believe that such payments would provide them access to and influence with President Biden.”

They also alleged that the Biden family leveraged Biden’s position as vice president to obtain more than $8 million in loans from Democrat benefactors. The loans “have not been repaid and the paperwork supporting many of the loans does not exist and has not been produced to the committees.”

HUNTER DEMANDED $10M FROM CHINESE ENERGY FIRM BECAUSE ‘BIDENS ARE THE BEST,’ HAVE ‘CONNECTIONS’
“As Vice President, President Biden actively participated in his conspiracy by, among other things, attending dinners with his family’s foreign business partners and speaking to them by phone, often when being placed on speakerphone by Hunter Biden,” the report states.
Republicans referenced in the report a 2014 dinner that Biden attended for his son, Hunter, with Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina. After the dinner, Baturina wired $3.5 million to Hunter Biden’s firm, Rosemont Seneca Thornton.
Fox News Digital had previously reported that Biden attended dinners with Hunter Biden’s business associates, including Baturina, in Washington, D.C., at Café Milano in Georgetown in both 2014 and 2015. Biden also met with Jonathan Li of BHR in China in 2013.
Fox News Digital also previously reported that Biden met with the chair of Chinese energy firm CEFC, Ye Jianming, in 2017.
“Based on the totality of evidence, it is inconceivable that President Biden did not understand that he was taking part in an effort to enrich his family by abusing his office of public trust,” the report states.

Republicans also said the Biden family “went to great lengths to conceal this conspiracy.”
“Foreign money was transmitted to the Biden family through complicated financial transactions,” the report states. “The Biden family laundered funds through intermediate entities and broke up large transactions into numerous smaller transactions.”
Republicans said Hunter Biden and his business associates leveraged Joe Biden’s position as vice president to garner “favorable outcomes in foreign business dealings and legal proceedings.”
“Several witnesses testified that Hunter Biden invoked his father in business dealings with Romanian, Chinese, Kazakhstani, and Ukrainian companies, resulting in millions of dollars flowing to the Biden family,” the report states.

“President Biden’s participation in this conspiracy to enrich his family constitutes as impeachable conduct,” they said. “By monetizing the Vice Presidency for his family’s benefit, he abused his office of public trust, placing the welfare of his family ahead of the welfare of the United States.”
Republicans added, “He also put foreign interests ahead of the interests of the American people.”
Meanwhile, Republicans in their report also said Biden used his official position to “conceal his mishandling of classified information as a private citizen.”
“During his tenure as Vice President, Joe Biden removed highly sensitive classified documents from the White House, despite having no authority to do so,” the report states.

Special Counsel Robert Hur investigated Biden’s improper retention of classified records for months but did not recommend charges against the president. The records included classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, among other records related to national security that implicated “sensitive intelligence sources and methods.”
But Hur earlier this year described Biden as a “sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory” and said it “would be difficult to convince a jury they should convict him.”
The report also shifts to allegations from IRS whistleblowers, who said federal investigators allowed the statute of limitations to expire on Hunter Biden’s alleged tax crimes.
“The Justice Department prevented line attorneys from conducting key interviews and pursuing important lines of inquiry,” the report states. “The special treatment for Hunter Biden, which only ceased at the onset of congressional attention on the Department’s investigation, may be a basis for impeachment, as the distortion of an official investigation was a basis in the prospective impeachment of President Nixon in 1974.”

The report adds, “In certain circumstances the President may be impeached for the actions of subordinate officials.”
“The totality of the corrupt conduct uncovered by the Committees is egregious,” the report states. “President Joe Biden conspired to commit influence peddling and grift. In doing so, he abused his office and, by repeatedly lying about his abuse of office, has defrauded the United States to enrich his family.”
Republicans argue that “not one of these transactions would have occurred, but for Joe Biden’s official position in the United States government.”

“This pattern of conduct ensured his family – who provided no legitimate services – lived a lavish lifestyle. The evidence uncovered in the Committees’ impeachment inquiry reflects a family selling the ‘Biden brand’ around the world with President Biden – the ‘big guy’ – swooping in to seal the deal on speaker phones or in private dinners,” the report states. “It shows a concerted effort to conceal President Biden’s involvement in the family’s influence peddling scheme.”
House Republicans pointed to the Constitution, saying the remedy for a president’s “flagrant abuse of office is clear: impeachment by the House of Representatives and removal by the Senate.”
“Despite the cheapening of the impeachment power by Democrats in recent years, the House’s decision to pursue articles of impeachment must not be made lightly,” the report states. “As such, this report endeavors to present the evidence gathered to date so that all Members of the House may assess the extent of President Biden’s corruption.”
House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry report comes weeks after Biden suspended his re-election campaign amid pressure from within the Democratic Party after the first presidential debate in June against former President Trump.
House Republicans have been leading the impeachment inquiry since mid-2023. The full House of Representatives formalized the inquiry in December 2023.
In June, House Republicans sent criminal referrals to the Justice Department recommending Hunter Biden and James Biden, the president’s brother, be charged with making false statements to Congress about “key aspects” of the impeachment inquiry.
Hunter Biden was found guilty on federal gun charges in Delaware earlier this year, stemming from charges brought against him by Special Counsel David Weiss. His trial on federal tax charges is set to begin in California in September.

“Hey Repubs in Congress, ONLY THREE YEARS LATE. Useless RINO Trash!!!”
Exactly. In true GOP fashion they waited long enough so that the report would have no impact.
Hunter Biden has three occupations: 1. creeping around the WH looking for business opportunities, 2. mooching off taxpayers, undermining Americans’ safety and security 3. Peddling his father’s influence to enrich the Biden crime family.
<><>the unemployed Hunter is glued to his father’s side in the WH
<><>he was at Camp David to help daddy prepare for the disastrous debate,
<><>he was there for the vainglorious Annie Leibovitz family photo shoot post-debate,
<><>he freeloaded on AF one w/ dad while making foreign business deals
<><>moocher Hunter has been ensconced in the WH ever since.
<><>Hunter is acting as “gatekeeper” to those who want access to his decrepit father
<><>Hunter helps write useless Joe’s incoherent speeches,
<><>alarmingly, Hunter has been sitting in on Joe’s meetings with senior staff
<><>is dad giving Hunter classified info to peddle?
Yup. Showvoters. They come creeping out from behind the trees after the battle is already over to collect war trophies to show off to the folks back home as if they are some kind of hero. *hocktooey*
T.Y.
The democrat party also blatantly and knowingly defrauded the United States.
Impossible. Nancy Pelosi said he deserved to be on Mount Rushmore.
Will the Dems rethink their position on limited immunity for Presidents? Or will they depend on their judicial lackeys to protect them, while going after Republicans for the same “crimes”?
Then impeach him to get it on record. Even if the Senate bails on its duties and responsibilities it's officially on record that he did wrong.
Otherwise it's like it never happened as the Justice Department obviously isn't going to do anything.
He isn’t going to live long enough enjoy his retirement. He is half in his grave already.
we know
...yawn
Great work informing Freepers of all the gruesome Biden details.
