We will not provide special treatment because his last name is Biden. As our committees were today prepared to depose Hunter Biden, he chose to make a public statement on Capitol Hill instead where he said his father, Joe Biden was not financially involved in his family\u2019s business dealings. Exactly how was Joe Biden involved? Evidence shows Joe Biden met with Hunter Biden\u2019s business associates and his name was at the center of the family business strategy,\u201d a joint statement by House Oversight Chairman and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan said.<\/p>\n Joe Biden was heavily involved in his son Hunter\u2019s overseas business. <\/strong><\/p>\n Devon Archer, Hunter Biden\u2019s longtime friend and business associate, appeared before the House Oversight Committee over the summer to testify on the Biden Crime Family.<\/p>\n Here are some key takeaways from Devon Archer\u2019s testimony per the\u00a0House Oversight Committee<\/a>:<\/p>\n When Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States, he joined Hunter Biden\u2019s dinners with his foreign business associates in person or by\u00a0speakerphone over 20 times<\/a>. It should also be noted the Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky held 17 audio tapes<\/a>, 15 with Hunter and 2 with Joe Biden, he kept as an insurance policy.<\/p>\n Per RNC Research<\/a>, Joe Biden met with Hunter\u2019s business associates over at least a dozen times.<\/p>\n Hunter Biden\u2019s investment vehicle Owasco made DIRECT payments<\/a> (screenshots below) to Joe Biden, according to newly obtained bank records.<\/p>\n\n Millions of dollars from China were funneled to Hunter Biden\u2019s investment vehicle Owasco.<\/p>\n In one instance, Hunter and Joe Biden threatened a Chinese business associate \u2013 pay up or else!<\/p>\n \u201cI am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my directions. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.\u201d<\/p>\n\n A few weeks later Hunter Biden received a $5 million wire from a Chinese firm.<\/p>\n On August 8, 2017, $5 million was wired from a CEFC-affiliated investment vehicle (Northern International) to the bank account for Hudson West III, which spent the next year transferring $4,790,375 million directly to Hunter Biden\u2019s firm, Owasco.<\/p>\n The post One Word Hunter Biden Used During Statement at DC Presser Tore Up Joe Biden\u2019s Defense of Corruption Allegations (VIDEO)<\/a> appeared first on The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hunter Biden on Wednesday arrived in DC and gave a press conference on Capitol Hill where he revealed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
\nDevon Archer testified that the value of adding Hunter Biden to Burisma\u2019s board was \u201cthe brand\u201d and confirmed that then-Vice President Joe Biden was \u201cthe brand\u201d and that the 20 phone calls were to sell \u201cthe brand.\u201d
\nDevon Archer admitted that \u201cBurisma would have gone out of business if \u2018the brand\u2019 had not been attached to it.\u201d Because of the Bidens\u2019 involvement, people would have been intimidated to mess with Burisma legally.
\nIn December 2015, Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma, and Vadym Pozharski, an executive of Burisma, placed constant pressure on Hunter Biden to get help from D.C. regarding the\u00a0Ukrainian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin<\/a>. Shokin was investigating Burisma for corruption.
\nHunter Biden, along with Zlochevsky and Pozharski, \u201ccalled D.C.\u201d to discuss the matter. Biden, Zlochevsky, and Pozharski stepped away to make the call. This raises concerns that Hunter Biden was in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
\nJoe Biden was dialed into a dinner in Paris with a French energy company and in China with Jonathan Li, the CEO of BHR. Then-VP Biden also had coffee with Li in Beijing and even wrote a letter of recommendation for college for Li\u2019s daughter.
\nArcher confirmed Joe Biden was\u00a0referred to as \u201cmy guy\u201d<\/a>\u00a0by Hunter Biden.
\nIn 2014, then-VP Biden attended a business dinner with Hunter & his associates at\u00a0Caf\u00e9 Milano in D.C. Elena Baturina, a Russian oligarch<\/a>\u00a0who is the widow of the former mayor of Moscow, was an attendee. Notably, the Biden Admin\u2019s public sanctions do not contain Baturina.<\/p>\n
