Documents uncovered by the administration show that the very thing people worried about with the Bidens probably did happen. According to investigator Catherine Herridge, there is evidence or proof that China blackmailed the Biden family. We don’t have the details yet, but we have enough information to conclude he was possibly blackmailed.
Biden’s favoritism toward China was well known before he was elected, and it was a concern for Republicans. That concern continued throughout his four-year reign.
The Bidens Liked to Do Business with China
House Oversight publications and related reporting document larger transfers from CEFC and State Energy HK into accounts connected with Biden family associates, including a notable $3 million wire on March 1, 2017, and further sums across 2017 and later. Committee materials assert that more than $8–10 million moved from foreign nationals and related companies into the Biden orbit over several years. Some payments landed in intermediary accounts controlled by associates rather than directly to Joe Biden. These timelines place significant CEFC activity in early 2017, immediately after Joe Biden left the vice presidency, a fact the Oversight narrative uses to suggest potential influence issues.
Payments were made to Hunter Biden, James Biden, Hallie Biden, and other associates from any direct receipt by Joe Biden. Reporting and committee exhibits highlight that Hunter and other relatives received millions from CEFC and related parties for consulting and purported retainer agreements, while a $40,000 check to Joe Biden was routed through family channels.
If any of the millions went directly to Joe Biden, other than the $40,000 check, we cannot say. However, his family received plenty. Much of the money went through shell companies. Who knows what else is out there. It does lend credence to the blackmail allegations.
Remember this:
