The Bidens’ dirty family secrets continue to unravel as President Joe Biden’s younger brother, Jim Biden, is involved in a $140 million scandal with the Saudi government.
Republican Kentucky Rep. James Comer told the Daily Mail on Feb. 15 that Jim allegedly informed a former U.S. Treasury official to negotiate with the Saudi government “because of his position and relationship” to his brother during the Obama-Biden administration.
“Evidence continues to mount that the Biden family used Joe Biden’s name to secure deals around the world to enrich themselves,” Comer, who is also the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, told the publication.
“The Treasury Department must provide the suspicious activity reports generated for the Biden family and their associates to inform our investigation about the Biden family’s business schemes and Joe Biden’s involvement,” he added.
According to affidavits obtained by the Daily Mail, Jim was allegedly tapped to broker the $140 million deal because the Saudi leaders “would not dare stiff the brother of the vice president, who would be instrumental to the deal.”
GOP House investigations intend to subpoena former business partners of the Biden family, particularly those associated with Jim and Joe, if the oversight committee does not receive suspicious activity reports related to the Bidens, which Comer has repeatedly demanded from the Treasury Department.
This comes as recent reports also revealed that Jim was linked to a 25 million-ton gas deal with China. Emails from the laptop of Joe’s son, Hunter Biden, show that Louisiana attorney Robert W. Fenet told the younger Biden and Jim that he had secured a contract for them at Houston energy company Cherniere.
Joe has a history of ties to Cherniere’s executives. Ankit Desai, a former vice president and lobbyist at Cherniere, served as the president’s political director from 2005 to 2020, while Heather Zichal, a former board member, served as his campaign’s climate adviser in 2019.
In emails to Fenet, Jim mentioned the Biden family’s participation in the project, which involves sending millions of tons of liquid natural gas (LNG) from Louisiana to the Chinese state-backed corporation CEFC Energy.
