Republican lawmakers in the US Congress on Friday accused President Joe Biden’s family of receiving money from a Chinese energy company.

“A Chinese company with direct ties to the Communist Party made payments to the family” of the president, said this Friday the head of the Oversight and Accountability Committee of the House of Representatives, James Comer, in an interview with Fox News.

Comer’s committee released a series of bank documents Thursday showing that a Biden family associate, Rob Walker, allegedly used his company to transfer money he received from a Chinese energy company to four members of Biden’s family.

The payments went to Biden’s son Hunter, his sister-in-law Hallie, his brother James and a third unidentified “Biden,” according to documents released by opposition lawmakers.

The payments reportedly came from a $3 million transfer from a Chinese company to the Bidens’ partner.

The head of the monitoring committee, controlled by the Republicans, assured Friday that these documents are only “the beginning” of the investigations carried out by the opposition party into the president’s family.

Biden “did not tell Americans the truth; “His family clearly received money from individuals linked to our foreign adversaries,” Comer wrote on his Twitter account this Friday.

Hunter Biden’s lawyers have rejected Republican investigations, saying the transactions were legal and the product of the president’s son’s business dealings.

“Hunter Biden, a natural-born citizen with every right to direct his affairs, joined other business partners in pursuing a joint venture with a legitimate private energy company in China,” the legal team said. media.

For his part, the Democratic leader of the oversight committee, MP Jamie Raskin, assured that the payments to the president’s former sister-in-law took place before Walker received the money from the Chinese company.

“The document proves once again, after four years of investigation by the Senate and the House of Representatives into Hunter Biden, that they have found no connection to the President of the United States or to any official” , Raskin said in a statement.

In 2020, a Republican-led investigation into allegations of corruption by Biden and his son in Ukraine found no evidence of irregularities by the Democrat.

The release of these documents comes more than a month after the commission will call four former Twitter executives to testify about vetoing the distribution of a New York Post article criticizing Biden, then a presidential candidate, on the database taken from a computer believed to have belonged to his son Hunter.
