While Hunter Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2020\/10\/29\/cybersecurity-expert-authenticates-hunter-biden-burisma-email\/\">Ukrainian<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/13\/hunter-biden-pushed-chinese-natural-gas-sale-laptop\/\">Chinese<\/a> energy deals have been widely reported, the House Oversight Committee has looked at other family members, including the president\u2019s brother James and sister <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/04\/23\/at-least-a-dozen-biden-relatives-will-be-exposed-in-foreign-money-deals-james-comer\/\">Valerie<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn only four months since gaining subpoena authority, we have made astonishing progress,\u201d Comer said, before delving into the Biden family\u2019s alleged business in Romania.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile Vice President Biden was lecturing Romania on anti-corruption policies, in reality he was a walking billboard for his son and family to collect money. Hunter Biden and his associates capitalized on a lucrative financial relationship with a Romanian national who was under investigation for and later convicted of corruption in Romania. The Bidens received over $1 million for the deal and 16 of the 17 payments to their associate\u2019s account that funneled the Biden\u2019s money occurred while Joe Biden was vice president. In fact, the money stops flowing from the Romanian national soon after Joe Biden leaves the vice presidency. This is a pattern of influence-peddling,\u201d Comer said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Based on the financial records we have obtained via bank subpoenas, we can now confidently trace at least $10 million in total from foreign nationals\u2019 and their related companies going to the Biden family, their business associates, and their companies.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Oversight Committee (@GOPoversight) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPoversight\/status\/1656287075778412544?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 10, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The New York Times sued the State Department in January 2022 to gain access to American embassy officials\u2019 emails mentioning Hunter Biden and business associate Tony Bobulinski. The outlet hoped to access emails mentioning \u201cthe possible improper use of federal government resources to assist and advance private business interests with connections to United States government officials and (2) the possible evasion of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) by those private business interests, and (3) the non-enforcement of FARA by the federal government in relation to those private business interests,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/west-wing-playbook\/2022\/01\/31\/gray-lady-aint-done-with-hunter-yet-00003869\">Politico<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Comer noted that the Biden family\u2019s alleged influence-peddling began while Joe Biden was vice president. In at least one instance, Hunter Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2020-election\/biden-s-trip-china-son-hunter-2013-comes-under-new-n1061051\">traveled<\/a> with his father to China on an official visit.

Most of these companies were limited liability committees formed during Joe Biden\u2019s vice presidency.
