The US Congress said that the Biden family received “millions” from Russia

US House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer released a report on US President Joe Biden’s foreign operations, which suggests that the president’s family and his associates received “millions” from businessmen from Russia during his vice presidency. About it writes Fox News channel.

The channel also published a report containing screenshots of bank records. “The committee found that millions of dollars entered the bank accounts of the Biden family from foreign sources, including China, Romania, Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine. <…> did not explain what services, if any, the Bidens and their partners provided in exchange for more than $20 million in foreign payments,” the document says.

The report mentions Russian entrepreneur Yelena Baturina, who allegedly transferred $3.5 million to the shell company Rosemont Seneca Thornton. The document also refers to a relationship with the Ukrainian oil and gas holding Burisma. In addition, the memorandum refers to the payments of the Kazakh oligarch Kenes Rakishev. Biden is said to have met with these individuals or their representatives in person.

Comer said the incumbent’s son Hunter Biden used his father’s influence to extract millions from oligarchs in Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine.

Formerly Comer accused Biden in a lie that he was not involved in his son Hunter’s business in Ukraine. He made this statement, based on the testimony of Biden Jr. partner Devon Archer, in 10 years, Biden Sr. spoke 20 times with his son’s partners on speakerphone, including from 2014 to 2019, when Hunter served on the board of directors of the Ukrainian oil and gas Burisma company. However, the White House said Archer’s testimony demonstrates that “he never heard President Biden discuss business with his son or his associates or do anything wrong.”

Republicans suspect Biden and his son of involvement in corruption schemes in Ukraine. Associates of former President Donald Trump believed that Hunter could be involved in the corruption schemes of the Burisma holding. According to supporters, Biden, who served as vice president under former US President Barack Obama, in an attempt to help his son, put pressure on the Ukrainian authorities and forced the resignation of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who is investigating Burisma owner Nikolai Zlochevsky.
