Received documents of previously what we’ve been on the business plan is targets around the world based on influence public including with people closely tied to foreign governments like China and Russia we also found plans made to the United States for the Biden family swindled investors of hundreds of thousands of
Dollars all with Joe Biden’s participation and knowledge in 2019 shortly after announcing his campaign for President Joe Biden told the American people he had nothing to do with and never had conversations with his family about their business dealings that was a lot the worship Lords described President
Biden as chairman of the board for these businesses he personally participated in meetings and phone calls documents show that he was a partner with access to an office to be clear Joe Biden is the big dog this evidence raises troubling questions about whether President Biden is a national security
And about whether he is compromised by Foreign governments despite the president’s claim that he wasn’t involved in Biden family business schemes these photos shall go by meeting with his family Associates while vice president committee Republicans have identified over 50 countries the Biden family saw businesses in on the international side
Of the Biden family business the deals were often led by 100 byte and that map there behind the play shows all the countries where the bidens had a footprint in international business dealings the investigation reveals a family that engaged with some of America’s most powerful adversaries planning to sell
One of the largest sources of cobalt for electric vehicles in the world to the Chinese for example the Biden’s flourished it became millionaires by simply offering access to the family among the dozens of shale companies divide and set up there were millions of dollars of wire transfers flights on Air
Force 2 to conduct personal business and meetings with heads of state all while Joe Biden was aware of what was happening all the while he turned a blind eye many transactions related to these businesses have raised red flags at U.S banks a suspicious activity report or
SAR is a document a bank must file with the treasury Department when a transaction is suspected to be related to money laundering or fraud or other types of criminal activity according to Media report the Biden family accumulated over a hundred fifty SARS one SAR generated by an American Bank of
The Treasury Department connects Hunter Biden and his business associates to international human trafficking among other illegal activities the money that was being made from foreign principals in the same room as Joe Biden was increasingly spent on furthering illegal activity the Tsar show that Hunter Biden was conducting business with suspected human traffickers
The money gained through influence peddling was functioned was funneled to a suspected criminal Enterprise again one link to human trafficking we have repeatedly called on the Biden Treasury Department to release additional financial documents to committee Republicans but thus far treasury has refused we want to know what the bite
Administration has tried to hide from the American people and why they are not being transparent we also found evidence Hunter Biden sought to evade these stars using his financial advisor coincidentally a Clinton administration official we will continue to pursue all evidence and specifically the SARS and bank
Records in the new Congress as part of our investigation we have evidence that the finances credit cards and bank accounts of Hunter and Joe Biden were co-mingled if not shared and on some Accounts at least red flags were raised by Banks to the account owner or owners indicating suspicious or illegal activity
One of Hunter’s closest Associates Eric Sherwin was accessing Joe Biden’s money and writing checks to reimburse Hunter Sherwin arranged abides International deals around the world at the same time he was a frequent visitor to the White House and Joe Biden during the Obama Administration visiting close to 30 times and sometimes with international
Business partners and Hunter according to Hunter’s calendar Sherwin was also the president of Hunter’s company and was appointed by President Obama to a position in the administration after the parent falling out with Sherwin Hunter began coordinating business himself and increasingly the deals brought in Joe Biden as a direct Equity holder
One of these deals involves a sale of American Natural Gas to China evidence suggests Joe Biden had a 10 Equity stake through his son and behind Glenn and Andrew is a map from Hunter’s laptop this was a PowerPoint presentation on his laptop Chinese that they used in working with the
Chinese now let’s think about this for a second at a time when Americans are suffering from high energy prices because of this administration’s terrible energy policy we find evidence that Hunter Biden and Joe Biden were involved in a scheme to try to get China to buy liquefied
Natural gas and from a whistleblower to try to get their foot in the door we start with China starting to purchase an interest in natural gas grillers the people are are in Outrage over China buying Farmland in The Dakotas what about China starting to buy into our American Energy industry at a time
When we have an energy crisis because of the bad policies of the Bible Administration now let that sink in Hunter brought in millions of dollars from this deal from entities tied to the Chinese government and emails obtained by committee Republicans hunter wanted keys made for Joe Biden and Jim Biden his office mate
He provided Joe Biden’s personal cell number and called him his partner the other partners in that deal were two people closely tied to the Chinese Communist Party and that’s the behind the Andy and Jim that’s the email for hunters hit to the landlord uh requesting keys and the the
Chinese Partners were on the email and where he said you know Joe would need a key and he even put Joe’s cell phone number on there domestically Jim Biden Joe Biden’s brother used the Biden name to enrich himself in return for the promise that when Joe Biden became president in 2020
Business partners would get rich by having access to a future Biden Administration by promising access to financing through Middle Eastern Russian and Chinese connections he made through Joe Biden by bringing his brother Joe Biden under phone calls Jim Biden was able to convince companies to give him loans of hundreds of thousands of
Dollars that he never repaid the buy demonstration has answered none of our requests for information regarding the Biden family or the financial transactions they engaged in instead the body Administration has spent over a quarter of a billion dollars to staff to quote deflect Hunter stories protecting the president’s son who has
Committed crimes with Americans tax dollars is a waste the domestic and international scheme that promised access to wealth in a future body Administration constitute fraud and the president’s participation in enriching his family is in a word abuse of the highest order rooting out waste Fraud and Abuse will
Be the primary goal of a republican house oversight committee as such this investigation will be a top priority we are releasing a report today that details what we have uncovered we are also sending letters to the body Administration officials abiding Family Associates renewing our request for voluntary production of documents
Relevant to this investigation this is an investigation of Joe Biden the president of the United States and why he lied to the American people about his knowledge and participation in his family’s international business schemes National Security interests require the committee to conduct investigation and we will pursue all avenues avenues that
Have long been ignored committee Republicans have uncovered evidence of federal crimes committed by and to the benefit of members of the president’s family these include conspiracy or defrauding the United States wire fraud conspiracy to commit wire fraud violation of the foreign agent’s registration act violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations
Of the trafficking victims protection act tax evasion money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering the Biden family’s business dealings implicate a wide range of criminality from Human Trafficking to potential violations of the Constitution in the 118th Congress this committee will evaluate the status of Joe Biden’s relationship with his family’s foreign
Partners and whether he is a president who has compromised or swayed by Foreign dollars and influence I want to be clear this is an investigation of Joe Biden and that’s where the committee will focus in this next Congress I now turn it over to oversight member and the next
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee Jim Jordan thanks Jamie um so I would just start with this question what part of Mr Comer’s presentation was Russian disinformation I mean never forget what happened on October 19 2020 15 days before the most important election we have in our country who’s going to be the next
President United States 15 days before that Mr Brennan Mr Clapper and 49 other people signed a letter that said the following it is for these reasons that we write to say that the arrival on the U.S political scene of emails purportedly belonging to vice president Vice President Biden’s son Hunter has
All the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation they further went on to say we want to emphasize that we did not know if the email is provided to the New York posts are genuine or not just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a
Significant role in this case and of course that letter became the pretext for suppressing this story again just days before the most important election we have in our country so I would ask this was J.P Morgan suspicious activity report to the treasury Department was that just a classic earmark of a Russian
Information operation how about when Hunter Biden sent the email that Mr Comer pointed to sent the email asking for keys to his new office space one for himself one for President Biden one for his Uncle Jim Biden and one for the Emissary for the chairman of the Chinese Energy company cfcc
Was that just Russian disinformation operation in place what part of Mr Comer’s presentation prompted the FBI to go to Facebook and say hey hey you want to be on the lookout for Russian misinformation here this election season what part of his presentation would prompt that I think it’s also important to say never
Forget how this story has changed I mean think about this when it started off it was no it’s not his laptop it’s not his laptop then it was well it’s his laptop but remember it’s Russian disinformation and no one did anything wrong then it was well maybe maybe he did something
Wrong but President Biden didn’t know about it and now it’s well maybe President Biden knew about it and was involved but it didn’t influence his decisions in fact yesterday there was a story in Politico which said that the storm Politico yesterday investigating the investigators dim strategist to
Launch counter punch to House GOP story in Politico yesterday here’s what I said in there quote no evidence has publicly emerged that Joe Biden’s decisions were affected by his son’s business dealings wow we so we’ve went from it wasn’t his laptop and it was Russian disinformation too oh whatever was in there didn’t
Affect the president’s business dealings even though he was involved even though the laptop was real even though it wasn’t disinformation but that’s how far we’ve come so I think that I think there are all kinds of questions that need to be answered and we’re determined to get
There here’s some of them that I have did the FBI break Twitter as well we know they breathed Facebook we know that had an impact on the election there’s been surveys done where where thousands and thousands of Voters across this country said it might have impacted their decision in the election in 2020
Did the FBI brief any of the 51 former intelligence officials who signed that letter again that letter that became the pretext for suppressing this story who did the briefings who briefed Facebook here’s a name that I think is interesting Timothy Tebow so Mr Tebow now remember we just did a
Report two weeks ago Judiciary Committee a report that uh talked about the political influence and the political Shenanigans going on in our justice department based on 14 FBI agents who’ve come talk to our office as as whistleblowers one of those agents said and this is the term he used he said at
The highest levels of the FBI specifically the Washington field office he said it’s rotted to the core not talking about Rank and file agents they’re doing good good work talking about the top people at the Washington field Ops we had another whistleblower who brought up the name Mr T ball and
Said Mr t-bault is pressuring agents to catalog and categorize cases in a specific way to satisfy this narrative about domestic violence extremism but what’s interesting is a different whistleblower one who didn’t come to our office a different whistleblower who went to Senator grassley’s office said
That Mr t-bolt by the way the head of the special agent in charge at the Washington field office Mr t-bolt is also the guy who suppressed information about the hunter Biden story in October of 2020. I’d like to talk to Mr t-bolt in fact we have asked to talk to Mr
T-bolt even though he said publicly I welcome a chance to answer questions he’s refused to come in and talk to us that’s someone we need to talk to why is the Biden Administration suddenly change their position on suspicious activity reports used to be Mr Comer wanted to see him any member
Of Congressman each chairman wanted to see many ranking member ones any member of Congress any committee you got a chance to see him suddenly no no we can’t see him I think I think Mr Comer and our team at the oversight committee would kind of like to see the other 148
They’ve seen two they’d like to see the other 148 so um we’re committed to getting to the truth the facts we think that’s what the American people are entitled to we’re gonna we’re gonna we’re gonna try to help uh representative Comer and the team here at oversight with uh with our
Work on Judiciary but with a specific focus on what the FBI was doing we know these 51 former Intel officials they got security clearance how often are they talking to the FBI are they talking to the FBI who’s doing the talk and who’s doing the briefing were they briefing there’s so many
Questions that need answered so we can get to the bottom of this and the final thing I would say is this a colleague of mine said this in a Committee hearing a few weeks ago uh Mr Gates he said when is the FBI going to quit interfering with elections
2016 they spied on President Trump’s campaign 2018 it was the Mueller investigation 2020 they suppressed information about the hunter Biden story 2022 they’re rated the president’s home 91 days before an election maybe it’d be nice if the FBI the justice department just stayed out of it let We the People
Decide who we think should represent us who we think should lead us that’s supposed to be how America works so this is the focus on the Judiciary Committee the political nature at the justice department and the linkage now to what was happening with the hunter Biden story
Again just 15 days before we have a presidential election we’ll be happy to answer questions any anyone on the committee will be happy to answer questions yes sir are you also putting the FBI on notice for not bringing and the Department of Justice on notice for not bringing any charges
And let me be very clear Jim said this but Jim’s going to answer that question the the oversight committee we are focused on the bank records moving forward the Judiciary Committee is going to be focused on that James answer that question no we’re not putting anybody on
Notice we just want to get the truth I mean that’s why we issued the Thousand page report two weeks ago that talked about so I’ve been in Congress a few years now I I’ve never seen anything like it 14 Agents come talk to us while we’re in the minority about how
Political that place has become talking about the purging going these are terms they use not we purging going on purging of of Agents the pressure to categorize ways uh cases in a political fashion um they’re putting the threat tag label on moms and dads who show up at school
Board meetings we know of over two dozen parents who were investigated no one charged but think of the chilling impact that has you show up at some parents home you you talk to them because she’s in the group moms for Liberty as an example you talk to him think of the
Chilling impact that has on other parents so that’s what we’re we’re interested in getting to the bottom up and and the only way you can hold people accountable and hopefully stop the behavior is to present it to the country that’s what we got to do so we’re
Committed to doing it in an aggressive fashion but in a way that’s consistent with the Constitution uh thank you um we know that the Department of Justice and FBI has been investigating Hunter Biden since 2018. how do we how do you know that these uh claims that
You are laying out in your remarks today and some of the examples that you have up here aren’t claims that have already been fully investigated uh by those Federal prosecutors yeah good enough and can I follow up with the map that you were referring to when was that uh PowerPoint from
That PowerPoint was from what beer do we know exactly I think it’s in your packet but in 2017. so my follow-up there is you know is the connection to you know the current energy crisis now if that that was years ago I really I mean Joe Biden says he’s
Going to stand up to China Joe Biden says he’s going to rewrite our whole energy policy America First and he was a 10 Equity owner in a company whose sole mission was to to purchase a liquefied natural gas from the United States and try to take over the energy
The natural gas industry in America through uh natural gas wholesalers and natural gas grillers I mean I don’t think Joe Biden’s been honestly American people about that I think that’s a question you all need to ask at the next White House Press Conference you know we didn’t know about your involvement in a
Chinese Energy company does that in any way shape or form impact your energy policy and that’s something that that I think every American deserves answer to especially at a time when we’re faced with record high energy prices because of Biden’s energy policy yeah um well your committee call Hunter Biden
Or anybody in the invited family to testify and investigation secretary or yeah we would love to talk to people uh in the Biden family specifically Hunter and Jim Biden I think the most important thing for us right now is to get those bank records I mean we have two
Suspicious activity reports in hand now not because of the Biden family and certainly not because of Janet Yellen at treasury these suspicious activity reports are very detailed and these aren’t from Little Banks like uh in my part of Kentucky these are you know Wells Fargo JP Morgan so these
These suspicious activity reports that I don’t think from day one a lot of people in the media understand what a suspicious activity report is just just so you know suspicious activity reports were created after September the 11th as a way for the government to be able to track foreign transactions into American
Terror sales over time it’s expanded to include things like money laundering and other types of criminal activity because when in September 11th remember the banks knew that these terrorists were getting wire transfers from Saudi Arabia but the FBI and the federal authorities didn’t so that’s that was how these were
Created under President Bush under President Obama and under President Trump any Committee in Congress could have access to those suspicious activity reports but when Joe Biden became president he changed the rules now does anyone here doubt my suspicion that he changed the rules because his son and possibly himself
Had 150 suspicious activity reports does any am I the are we the only ones that find that odd that Joe Biden would change the rules when he became president in fact Maxine Waters had legislation to change the rules back she didn’t know why he changed the rules and
She had a bill and part of the language in the bill was to to over override that rule and give Congress the access to those suspicious activity reports yet I actually voted for Maxine Waters bill because that was in there and I don’t vote for a lot of Mexican water Appeals
Yeah thanks Congressman for doing this good question for both of you I’m wondering if you might be able to confirm that your committees will be investigating speaker Pelosi and the Department of Justice for their treatment of defendants jailed in connection with January 6th the promise that speaker that intentionally speaker
McCarthy made to the house Freedom caucus earlier this week uh he ating Department of Justice job we’re focused on you saw our report um well maybe didn’t I I hope it didn’t you take it uh take time to read it uh we’re focused on how political our
Justice department has become it’s not a question if they are political if they are they’re making decisions in in on a political basis we’re going to look at all that what about Pelosi and the the treatment we’re looking at January 6th umbrella political operations at the justice department all the way back to
The very first whistleblower came to us over a year ago um uh about a year ago I should say regarding the uh the the school board’s issue so we’re concerned about anything that is being done in a political fashion at the justice department because remember that you got to step
Back it’s supposed to be in this great country the greatest country ever it’s supposed to be equal treatment under the law and when you have a justice department that’s not following that fundamental principle in terms of I think that sets our country apart from all others
Um that is a major problem so you think the January 6th insurrectionists have been wrongly imprisoned I didn’t say anything all I said is all I said is we’re going to look at the politics at the justice department based on the fact that we have had 14 different actually
More than 14 now whistleblowers come talk to us that’s what we’re going to focus on my last question is what are the grounds this is kind of a big deal we think if we can keep it about 100 Biden that would be great I just wanted to pay you
Back because she said for January 6th just what’s your plan to do with the January 6 investigation it seems like you guys I think that’s a question yeah I think that’s a question for Kevin McCarthy that we’re focused on a lot of Investigations now I’ve been very
Transparent with the media on it uh that wasn’t one of them but uh yes okay can you kind of preview how you how this is going to play out so it sounds like your focus initially is going to be on these suspicious activity report which you you Endeavor to to receive
Somehow is that going to be through potentially subpoenaing a bank and then once you receive those is that some are you expecting a Smoking Gun from that or is that going to lead to more Avenues and then finally what is what deliverable are you expecting another report or is this gonna do you
See this terminating as some sort of referral how do you see this playing out well obviously with the two that we already have they know what you get how did you get that well we can’t reveal our churches but the two are on the internet so they’re you could dig and
Find them they’re they’re out there but we verified they’re 100 factual I and I’m not pushing it if you got that from an individual why would that individual have two that’s a great question I’m glad you asked that question because again I don’t think a
Lot of people in in the media and in Congress for that matter understand a suspicious activity report Byron Donald does he’s a financial expert I’ve had to honor being on a backboard when you get a suspicious activity report it Flags every account that’s had a transaction within a certain time period
Am I right so you the suspicious activity report that we have uh shows where Hunter Biden purchased whatever with the with that escort service the escort service then uh paid the The Prostitute at the the bank implies that the escort service is Under Suspicion for human trafficking we see
Where the escort service is from the prostitution she’s not from the United States again I don’t want this to be about the the human The Prostitute here’s the thing Hunter Biden isn’t this innocent guy that’s just got a bad rap because he had a drug problem and the
Republicans don’t need to waste any time on everybody we don’t we’re not trying to prove Hunter Biden is a bad actor he is if anybody wants to disagree with that then there’s nothing we have to talk about our investigation is about Joe Biden and we already have evidence that would
Point that Joe Biden was involved with Hunter Biden only so we want the bank records and uh that’s our that’s our Focus we’re trying to stay focused on was Joe Biden directly involved with Hunter Biden’s business deals and is he compromised that’s our investigation and
So if you found that if you found that through the reports what would be your deliverable a another report or would you uh refer those charges or you foresee this uh resulting in some sort of impeachment wait well we will uh we will issue a report uh we
Will uh hand over the any potential criminal activity to the appropriate authorities and the uh that’s what we do we investigate no we’re a legislative body so there’s liberals we may need to change the disclosure laws we may need to look at this this investigation started because of the the concern with
Big Tech FBI talking to Big Tech big Tech suppressing throttling back information that we the people should have had access to when we’re getting ready to make the most important decision we make as a as a country on who’s going to lead us that’s where this
So do we need to change section 230 do it’s all about the legislative purposes courts spring Court’s been cleared that’s where we got to focus and I would just argue fundamentally about the first amendment that they were suppressing critical information that the country should have had access to they did it
Literally 15 days before and you tell me what in the report that Mr Comer and the team has put together is Russian disinformation that was all Bs and everyone knows it was BS and frankly should have known it at the time and I think did know it at the time but did it
Anyway so that’s the legislative purpose that we’ve got to get to so but we don’t know where that’s going to go that’s what we’re trying to do Mr Homer yeah some Republicans have have questioned the timing of this why make this your very first visible order of business investigating President Biden’s family
Look at the commitment to America there were four tenants of that the fourth was to hold this Administration accountable that’s the job of the oversight committee I know some of the media said well this is what the Republicans uh their whole sole focus is this is the
Focus of the oversight committee now I know Kevin said the first legislation we’re going to vote on is to repeal the 87 000 IRS agents to reduce the size of government because that’s tackling inflation we have inflation because the Democrats have spent too much money so we have a legislative of agenda and
We’re focused on a lot of things in Congress but from the oversight committee we’re in charge of Investigations we feel that this is of the most important and to follow up do you expect cooperation from the Biden Administration and and when it comes to the justice department which is also
Investigating Hunter Biden if the dog doj doesn’t cooperate what means do you have at your disposal right now to get the information that they’ve been covered on him so just some cooperation but of course they haven’t they haven’t responded to any of the correspondence say the letters any
Inquiries that came from from ranking member Comer uh second they changed the suspicious activity report process and protocol and third they’ve Now set up a committee according to reporters I don’t know maybe they’re in this room of the report in political that said oh they
Set up a committee to attack Us in the come after us so I don’t know you guess they’re probably not gonna they’re probably not gonna work with this too well changing the SARS and setting up I mean that’s pretty impressive to come and testify it one of the most important things we can
I guess I’ve said it a couple times one of the most important things we can do is is do the work that needs to be done so that we can hopefully have a justice department that doesn’t operate in a political fashion that’s that’s my focus I think it’s everyone’s Focus so I think
That’s pretty darn important to the Americans Mr George please turn on the table quick follow-up question on that particular Point um there’s Maine Justice and then there’s Mr Weiss in Delaware who as you know is appointed by President Trump and initiated this investigation under the previous administration just generally
Because some of these uh suggestions that have been made but in terms of the investigation moving towards President Biden have not apparently we haven’t uncovered any evidence that that is currently being discussed in front of the grand jury in Delaware or in that particular office do you have confidence
Forget the larger question of the Biden justice department do you have confidence that Mr Weiss is a thorough job in his investigation Oliver said there shouldn’t be politics anywhere it should be driven by the facts the law the Constitution we’ve had over 14 whistleblowers come talk to us
Every single one has said at the highest levels of the justice department here in D.C the Washington field office and and the justice department here in DC that is where the politics are involved that’s where the political decisions are being made we have a concern with that
That’s what we’re focusing do you have any just to quickly follow on my follow-up do you have any reason to believe that Maine Justice is attempting to influence the investigation all I know is what the whistleblowers have told our office that’s what we’re focused on and and I’ll wrap it up with this
Will all be available throughout the day for questions I realized that congressional oversight doesn’t have a lot of credibility in Washington I blame Adam Schiff for that we’re going to change that we’re not going to talk about anything unless we have evidence and that’s how I started
This this out you’re going to be presenting with something you haven’t been used to over the past four years evidence and we believe that this is of the most important I’ve been watching the panels from CNN everywhere else where I think why are Republicans investigating 100 why why are we wasting
Time doing this this is an investigation of Joe Biden I think we’ve laid out the evidence as to why we feel it’s important and we’re going to move forward with that we’re going to do a lot of Investigations we’re going to do a lot of probing we’re focused on waste
Fraud and Abuse there’s no shortage of that in this federal government let me assure you that and that’s going to be a priority for this committee every member of this committee is going to have priorities in areas where they’re focused on in the next Congress and we’re going to try to restore
Credibility to Congressional investigations and we’re going to try to get the backs of the taxpayers because the taxpayer is the one that’s been that’s taking it on the chin Catherine I’ll end with you um four years and yet no charges have been brought I’ll say that and then Jim can end with
That look the more you look into 100 Biden the more bad things pop up I don’t know if that’s the situation I don’t know if he’s getting resistance at the Department of Justice from what I’ve heard they’re looking into the tax evasion there’s no question he’s evaded
Taxes that’s why he got the Hollywood lawyer to loan him two million dollars to try to get caught up with the IRS on his tax bill but at the end of the day uh we’re focused on some things that I think every American needs answers to and one thing that I’ve learned from
Talking to a lot of you off off the scene here is that I don’t think a lot of people realize the evidence that’s already out there pertaining to Hunter Biden and I don’t think anybody realized that Joe Biden is in fact involved in a lot of these he
Was in fact involved in a lot of these so the goal from this press conference is is to show you uh number one this is an investigation Joe Biden we’re focused on the bank records we’re very specifically focused on the bank records and the bank violation Bank valid and
Remember Congress used to have access to the bank violations until Joe Biden changed the rules which that in itself should be a front page story above the fold I’m not telling you what to do but that’s pretty odd that he would change rules to do that and
We laid out why we think it’s important so Jim can follow up before
