House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer claims that the Biden family used more than 20 shell companies to hide payments.
According to Comer, the Bidens allegedly created more than 20 companies to accept, forward, and collect payments in their shady business dealings.
“We found all these shell companies that make absolutely no sense,” the Kentucky Republican told Fox News. “I don’t believe they have paid a penny of revenue, a penny of taxes on most of the millions of dollars they received from our adversaries around the world.”
This comes as an IRS whistleblower in the Hunter Biden investigation revealed that the first son purposefully evaded millions in taxes by being a board member of the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma as well as an associate of a Chinese business.
“How did they list this on their taxes?” Comer questioned. “Is it a service they provided?”
Hunter, per the whistleblower, put up a system to receive money through his friend’s firm and then have them loan him half of the funds in order to avoid paying taxes. The president’s son and Devon Archer invested money in Bohai Harvest.
The younger Biden also allegedly claimed to be with his father and specifically mentioned him in a WhatsApp message to Henry Zhao, CEO of Harvest Fund Management, on July 30, 2017, in an effort to pressure Zhao to fulfill a commitment.
As the investigation continues, Comer said that future depositions will be bolstered by Wednesday’s public testimony by whistleblowers.
“We’re now at the phase of the investigation where we’ve accumulated enough bank records to where we can ask these IRS employees specific substantive questions,” Comer said.
Other IRS whistleblowers alleged that Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf refused questioning regarding President Joe Biden being “the big guy” in order to limit the scope of the investigation even though there was evidence of Biden’s involvement.
“This should be a good substantive committee hearing that will allow us to move forward in the deposition process when we bring these individuals that were helping the Bidens funnel and launder this money,” Comer explained. “We will be able to ask them specific questions about specific transactions.”
