Hunter Biden Received a $3.5 Million Payment From Ex-Moscow Mayor's Wife, Republican Report Says

New report from Senate Republicans alleges that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million payment from the wealthy wife of Moscow's former mayor, amid a slew of other financial transactions and entanglements that federal government officials warned presented conflicts of interest as the former vice president spearheaded the Obama administration's Ukraine policy.

Democrats have dismissed the Republican report, which was released Wednesday, as playing up Russian misinformation, and the 87-page document did not demonstrate that Hunter Biden's financial entanglements impacted U.S. policy. But it emphasized that government officials flagged concerns about potential conflicts of interest and that the former vice president's son's financial interests with foreign governments "accelerated" during the administration of former President Barack Obama.

"Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow," the Republican report, which was the result of an investigation led by GOP Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, explained as one of its "key findings."

Baturina, a billionaire, was previously married to Yuri Luzhkov, who served as mayor of Moscow but was fired for alleged corruption in 2010. The report details how Biden's business received a $3.5 million payment from Baturina in February 2014, which was described to be for "consultancy" work. In 2015, Biden also received several payments of several hundred thousand dollars from Baturina, several of which were listed as part of a "loan agreement."

Can you imagine if the was Trump Jr.
I despise the LSM

Maybe she got it the ‘hard way’-as Rodney Dangerfield would say

Something tremendous came of the clinton’s misdeeds. They likely put Trump over the top.

I cared a whole hell of a lot more that Trump won than Hillary went through prison. And again I hope a hell of a lot more that what Biden and son did help Trump win than if they go to prison because I am a realist and they are not.

And let’s be honest. how many Republicans from how many scandals should be in prison and Orange? Going back to the s&l.

the only way these people would ever see prison is a violent revolution and I don’t see that happening. As Long as Trump wins I don’t want that happening

And here we see the true culture in our Capitol. Hunter is only one of thousands of looters creeping around DC and the world lining his pockets with stolen cash. Hanging is too good for these influence peddlers.

How did they meet?
///////////////////////
Carlos Danger left a message in an envelope taped under a park bench for Pierre Delecto to tell him a woman wants to meet him but has to keep it totally discreet. She carried a yellow rose to the cafe where Hunter said the code phrase “Gosh, you aren’t from Texas are you?”

In the hotel room later he said “Golly, this must be what they mean by foreign intrigue.”

It won’t matter if they robbed the Bank of Moscow together, NOTHING, will be done about it. The left are all untouchables. Biden’s whole clan are opportunistic crooks! Sad. He, himself, is an addlepated old poop who can’t remember how dishonest and crooked he was (still is).

WHERE DID SHE GET $3.5 MILLION?

Probably out of her back pocket.

"Democrats have dismissed the Republican report, which was released Wednesday, as playing up Russian misinformation, and the 87-page document did not demonstrate that Hunter Biden's financial entanglements impacted U.S. policy."

In other words, the Dems had no response other than to thrown out their same old conspiracy theory, offered without evidence. As to whether the payments affected US policy, isn't that probably what they were intended to do?

[Toespi]

“Republican Report Says”.............otherwise disregard, not true.

[Buckeye McFrog]

RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA!

Sorry. Just had to say that.

[BuffaloJack]

Is it included on his 1040 tax return?

Those harsh Moscow winters can take a toll on some

They will probably try and impeach Trump for this. /sarc

“Russian collusion!”

Doesn’t make any difference. Whatever business Hunter, a private citizen, has with Russia, legal or not, is none of our business unless it effects trade or political actions between the countries. We only have a treaty concerning collusion between countries with the Ukraine which has been independent since 1991 and that treaty signed by Clinton in 1999. The United States and Russia do not have an extradition treaty. In addition, Russia is one of the countries mentioned above that will not extradite its own citizens. So, makes no difference what he is doing with someone’s money in Russia.
