James Biden, the brother of Joe Biden, arrived at Capitol Hill on Wednesday morning for his private testimony in the impeachment inquiry involving the Bidens.
Accompanied by his legal team, James entered the House building amidst a flurry of questions from reporters regarding the Biden family’s alleged wrongdoings.
One journalist taunted James by inquiring about whether Hunter Biden had used drugs at the White House.
“Did Hunter smoke crack at the White House?” one reporter shouted as James Biden walked by.
In his statement to lawmakers, James Biden refuted any suggestions of his brother Joe Biden’s involvement in his business affairs, portraying himself as a successful entrepreneur with connections to Chinese billionaire tycoons linked to the CCP, prominent healthcare leaders, and other influential figures.
As my interview will make clear, there are four critical points:
1. I have had a 50-year career in a variety of business ventures. Joe Biden has never had any involvement or any direct or indirect financial interest in those activities. None.
2. Because of my intimate knowledge of my brother’s personal integrity and character, as well as my own strong ethics, I have always kept my professional life separate from our close personal relationship.
3. I never asked my brother to take any official action on behalf of me, my business associates, or anyone else.
4. In every business venture in which I have been involved, I have relied on my own talent, judgment, skill, and personal relationships—and never my status as Joe Biden’s brother. Those who have said or thought otherwise were either mistaken, ill informed, or flat-out lying.
James Biden absurdly claimed no one ever asked him to engage in illegal activity related to suspicious interest-free ‘loans’ he received:
Because of the episodic nature of the income from my consulting work, there have been a number of occasions when my personal financial obligations have exceeded our available funds. Some of those large expenditures have been predictable. For example, I have three children for whom we had large tuition payments. Other expenses were not as foreseeable, such as medical expenses for family members and the hurricane damage to our home in Florida.
In those instances, we have turned to financial institutions, friends, business partners, or family for loans. Some of those obligations were reduced to writing; others were not. On each occasion, we did our best to repay the debts in full. Some individuals forgave the outstanding obligations.
In no instance did anyone ever ask me or my wife to engage in any inappropriate, unethical, or illegal activity as consideration for, or in connection with, any of those loans. And except for the ones from my brother Joe, I have no reason to believe that he had information or even knew about any of the other loans.
The Committees have asked about those loans from my brother. They were short-term loans that I received from Joe when he was a private citizen, and I repaid them within weeks. He had no information at all about the source of the funds I used to repay him. The complete explanation is that Joe lent me money, and I repaid him as soon as I had the funds to do so.
James Biden capitalized on the Biden family name to amass wealth, receiving substantial payments from companies tied to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
A recent discovery by James Comer revealed a direct payment of $200,000 to Joe Biden after obtaining subpoenaed documents related to James and Hunter.
In 2018, Jim Biden received $600,000 in purported ‘loans’ from Americore Health LLC, a struggling rural hospital operator.
Bankruptcy records indicate that these funds were provided under the premise that Jim’s surname could facilitate access and secure a significant investment from the Middle East due to his political connections.
On March 1, 2018, Americore Health LLC transferred $200,000 into Jim and Sara Biden’s personal bank account. Subsequently, Jim wrote a check for the same amount to Joe Biden, known as “The Big Guy.”
Coincidentally, Joe Biden had an unplanned encounter with Americore’s CEO around this time. No cause for concern here. Please proceed.
