BIDENS PULLED IN $20 MILLION FROM RUSSIANS, FOREIGNERS: REPORT

It evidently pays to know Joe Biden.

The Epoch Times, citing newly released bank records, reported that Biden family members pulled in a cool $20 million from Russians and other foreigners during the years Biden served as vice president under Barack Obama.

“During Joe Biden’s vice presidency, Hunter Biden sold him as ‘the brand’ to reap millions from oligarchs in Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine. It appears no real services were provided other than access to the Biden network, including Joe Biden himself. And Hunter Biden seems to have delivered,” Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said in a statement obtained by the paper.

The paper said it reached out to the White House and a lawyer representing Hunter Biden did not respond to the article.

Comer, the chair of the House Oversight Committee, released the purported bank records on Wednesday that were included in a 19-page memo. Comer says millions appeared in bank accounts from Ukrainian energy giant Burisma.

Money also came in from Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina and Kazakhstani oligarch Kenes Rakishev. Biden, who was vice president at the time, attended dinners with the two oligarchs and a representative from Burisma, Fox News reported.

“It’s clear Joe Biden knew about his son’s business dealings and allowed himself to be ‘the brand’ sold to enrich the Biden family while he was Vice President of the United States,” Comer said.

The latest trove of bank records showed that Hunter Biden made up to $1 million a year from Burisma, which started when his daddy took over the Obama administration’s Ukraine portfolio in 2014, The New York Post reported. He was also given $142,300 by a Kazakhstani businessman to buy a luxury car.

TRENDPOST: Jonathan Turley, a legal contributor on Fox News, said last week that the Bidens have been in the influence-peddling business for decades and knows how to avoid being tied to these transactions on paper.

“You don’t do direct deposits in the account of the principal when you’re selling influence and access,” Turley said. “But this idea that they didn’t benefit from it is ludicrous. At 80 years old Joe Biden is not going to spend the over $8 million he already has. At his age, people of wealth are primarily focused on leaving a financial legacy for their children or grandchildren. And yet even with $20 million being transferred through 20 different shell companies and accounts, the press is still saying – well, we won’t accept anything except to direct deposit, otherwise, he didn’t benefit from it.”
