Joe Biden got $40K in China funds, brother James admits in bombshell impeachment interview
NY Post ^ | Published March 1, 2024, 1: | Steven Nelson

WASHINGTON — First brother James Biden confirmed during his impeachment inquiry testimony that a $40,000 check made out to former Vice President Joe Biden in 2017 used funds James received from a Chinese government-linked company — while James also revealed he received overseas income as recently as last year.

James, 74, insisted that he didn’t believe the company, CEFC China Energy, was controlled by Beijing — claiming that “I just misspoke” when telling the IRS in a 2022 interview that first son Hunter Biden, who was partnering with his uncle, had described CEFC chairman Ye Jianming as a “protégé” of Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“Where did you believe the source of the money that was going into [Hunter Biden’s company] Owasco, prior to being sent to you, was coming from?” an investigator asked James during the Feb. 21 interview.

“CEFC,” James conceded — following an extended back-and-forth in which the first brother’s attorney Paul Fishman tried to argue that “money’s fungible” before being reminded by a House staffer that James “did not have sufficient funds” to make the $40,000 alleged loan repayment on his own, “so it is traceable.”

“It was sweat equity, mainly, in dealing with him in terms of his other ventures,” James told the investigators, saying Manzano asked him to woo Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim to invest in 4G in Argentina, an attempt that was unsuccessful.

Manzano was at one point “in discussions” about working with CEFC, James also confirmed.

“James told the investigators, saying Manzano asked him to woo Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim to invest in 4G in Argentina, an attempt that was unsuccessful.”

When the corruption all comes out, you’re going to find the name Carlos Slim Helu in the middle of it all .
He owns the Cheney’s, Romney, Bushes, Clintons and the Bidens.

“It was a loan”

“I paid him back in cash.”

“I don’t recall”

“I may have been speculating”

Can you imagine if you or I tried these sorry-ass excudes under oath?

Who Is Sara Biden? Joe’s Sister-In-Law Emerges
as the Central Figure in Foreign Cash Deals


Jim Biden’s wife, Sara, drafted an Americore healthcare investor presentation,
influence-peddling the Biden name
<><>describes Jim Biden as a partner with Americore
<><>brief bio touts Jim Biden’s political connections
<><>id’s Jim Biden as “Brother and Campaign Finance Chair of VP Joe Biden.”

Americore principals now accused of massive Medicare fraud.


By Paul Sperry, RealClearInvestigations, December 11, 2023

Trouble has followed Sara Catherine Jones since she married into the Biden family almost three decades ago. Not long after her 1995 wedding to Jim Biden, she took a job with one of his brother Joe’s Senate donors, who later accused her of “fraud” and “unjust enrichment,” according to court records reviewed by RealClearInvestigations.

In the years since, she and her husband have been accused of reneging on debts and failing to pay their taxes, court and property records show. Like their nephew, first son Hunter Biden, they have reportedly sold the promise of access to their powerful relative to companies, several of which have gone bankrupt, some of which are tied to foreign countries hostile to the United States.

Now, Sara Jones Biden has emerged as a key figure in the mushrooming Biden foreign influence-peddling scandal.

pic-—Joe Biden in 2018, the same year his sister-in-law Sara, husband of James, (both in top photo) signed over to him hundreds of thousands of dollars in suspect funds.

GOP lawmakers seek to question the 64-year-old licensed attorney as part of their investigation of President Biden for possible impeachable offenses, including bribery. They are especially interested in subpoenaed bank records that include almost a quarter million dollars in checks Sara Biden wrote to her brother-in-law Joe, conspicuously marking them as “loan repayment.” Republicans want to ask her about the origin of those loans and whether checks “were funded by Biden influence-peddling schemes with China.”

“The Committees require you to provide details of these payments and other related matters,” the chairmen of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees said in a joint letter they sent to her last month demanding she make herself available for a transcribed interview. In addition, they sent a subpoena to her husband for testimony and information.

Although Hunter and Jim Biden’s questionable business dealings – and their possible blessing from the president – are drawing increasing scrutiny, Sara Biden has drawn little attention until now.

But court records and other documents show she has been a central player in the Biden family business for decades. They show how her and her husband’s desire for a lifestyle they could not quite afford has repeatedly led them to form relationships with shady figures and enterprises that often ended in lawsuits and even criminal investigations.

Looming over it all is Joe Biden. Documents recently obtained by government watchdog America First Legal, under a Freedom of Information Act request, reveal that Sara and Jim’s main business, the Lion Hall Group, shows up in more than 3,735 emails generated by the former Vice President Biden’s office. The sheer volume of communications concerning his brother and sister-in-law’s business appears to contradict Biden’s repeated claims over the years that he was never involved in, or even aware of, his family’s business dealings.

The Biden Crime Family is part of The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.

They are willing to sell you and your children into slavery and slaughter to put some more money in their pockets.

Disavow and Democrats that you know.

They all have criminal hearts.

Paul Fishman tried to argue that “money’s fungible”

Fani tried that excuse as well.
