The investigation into the Biden family’s corrupt activities with China has just uncovered another stunning connection that is hard to ignore. Newly discovered bank records allegedly reveal that Hunter Biden was paid a large sum of money following a shakedown with Chinese officials.

According to a WhatsApp message found by Senate investigators, Hunter Biden tried to shake down Chinese officials with the threat of his father’s intervention. The message read, “Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”
Within 10 days of Hunter Biden's WhatsApp message to the Chinese official associated with CEFC, a CEFC subsidiary sent 2 payments totaling $5.1M to accounts linked to Hunter, according to records cited in the Senate GOP investigation. https://t.co/myy4Xw8un2 pic.twitter.com/EEkb3sa6Y7

Ten days after the shakedown, $5.1 million was wired to Hunter Biden; more than $1 million of that amount was then transferred to a consulting firm run by none other than James Biden, the President’s brother. This move immediately raised suspicion, and the bank where James Biden had his account flagged the payment.
When Sara Biden, James Biden’s wife, was asked about the suspicious payment, she tried to justify it as regular consulting fees. However, when asked to provide documentation to support her claim, she refused. As a result, the bank closed James Biden’s account due to suspicions of money laundering.
The Senate report also includes evidence of large sums of money being moved between Hunter Biden’s firm and James Biden’s consulting firm. These payments began a week after CEFC Infrastructure Investment wired $5 million to Hudson West III and Hudson sent $400,000 to Owasco. Most of these payments from Owasco to the Lion Hall Group (James Biden’s firm that the money was transferred to) had vague notes in the memo lines with fifteen payments indicating that they were for further credit to James Biden. However, when the bank contacted Sara Biden, she was unable to provide documents to clarify the activity and refused to provide any additional information, causing the bank to close the account.
The question remains, what was the “commitment” that the Bidens made to the Chinese in this shakedown, and how did they fulfill it? If James and Hunter were transferring such large sums of money to each other, was Joe Biden involved in any way, shape, or form? This is only the beginning, folks. Senate Republicans need to continue their investigation because it seems that this is just the tip of the iceberg.
