President Joe Biden’s role as “the brand” for son Hunter’s lucrative international influence-peddling may have benefited him directly, according to mounting evidence from the first son’s abandoned laptop.
Newly revealed bank records released by the House Oversight Committee show that the president’s family and allies hauled in a staggering $20 million from foreign sources in Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and China, some of whom met personally with Biden while he served as vice president.
On Friday, Attorney General Merrick Garland named Delaware US Attorney David Weiss as special counsel in the ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s shady business dealings — and Joe Biden, 80, is facing further scrutiny as the Republican-led House of Representatives weighs potential impeachment proceedings against him.
“Joe Biden has been a public official for five decades yet has lived lavishly,” House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) told The Post.
“As Hunter Biden was sealing deals with Russian, Kazakhstani, and Ukrainian oligarchs, then-Vice President Biden dined with them in DC. This reeks of corruption.”
At least nine Biden family members allegedly got payouts from the huge pool of cash — for no discernible business reason, investigators have said.
The probe has uncovered no direct payments to the president himself, but emails from Hunter’s left-behind laptop hint that his father may have shared in the bounty, say congressional Republicans and former Biden associates.
“It’s vacations, cell phones, money to pay taxes,” a former Biden family business partner told The Post. “This is Joe Biden’s brother and sister and his children and grandchildren taking care of him.”
The laptop Hunter Biden left in a Delaware computer repair shop — authenticated, but suppressed, by the FBI — revealed a string of self-pitying emails and text messages to family members in which he claimed to have been kicking up to 50% of his income back to his father for decades.
