The 291-page report lays out intimately what have at instances been murky allegations in opposition to the president.

“With a purpose to obscure the supply of those funds, the Biden household and their associates arrange shell corporations to hide these funds from scrutiny,” the report stated. “The Biden household used proceeds from these enterprise actions to supply lots of of 1000’s of {dollars} to Joe Biden—together with 1000’s of {dollars} which might be instantly traceable to China.”
Biden has dismissed questions on his involvement in a scheme being highlighted within the Republicans’ report. The administration has but to launch a proper response in response to the report.
A key query within the investigation has been, even when Hunter Biden and others monetized the “Biden model,” how a lot did the president actually know or take part?
“Witnesses acknowledged that Hunter Biden concerned Vice President Biden in lots of his enterprise dealings with Russian, Romanian, Chinese language, Kazakhstani, and Ukrainian people and corporations,” the report stated. “Then-Vice President Biden met or spoke with almost each one of many Biden household’s overseas enterprise associates, together with these from Ukraine, China, Russia, and Kazakhstan. In consequence, the Biden household has obtained thousands and thousands of {dollars} from these overseas entities.”
The president has repeatedly dismissed these allegations, and up to now Republicans haven’t gotten the wanted votes to make impeachment a severe menace.
From the report:
At first, overwhelming proof demonstrates that President Biden participated in a conspiracy to monetize his workplace of public belief to counterpoint his household. Amongst different features of this conspiracy, the Biden household and their enterprise associates obtained tens of thousands and thousands of {dollars} from overseas pursuits by main these pursuits to imagine that such funds would supply them entry to and affect with President Biden. As Vice President, President Biden actively participated on this conspiracy by, amongst different issues, attending dinners along with his household’s overseas enterprise companions and talking to them by telephone, typically when being positioned on speakerphone by Hunter Biden. For instance, in 2014, Vice President Biden attended a dinner for Hunter Biden with Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina.4 Following the dinner, Baturina wired $3.5 million to Rosemont Seneca Thornton, a agency related to Hunter Biden. Then, months later, as Hunter Biden and his enterprise associates continued to solicit more cash from Baturina, Vice President Biden participated in a telephone name with Baturina and Hunter Biden the place Vice President Biden instructed Baturina, “you be good to my boy.” Furthermore, President Biden knowingly participated on this conspiracy.
