A recent revelation about a top donor to President Biden’s 2020 campaign has raised concerns about foreign influence in American politics. Tahir Javed, a Pakistani government official, was a major supporter of Biden and even bragged about raising millions of dollars for the Biden Harris transition team.
Javed’s donations and connections to various Islamic and Pakistani groups operating in the US have sparked questions about where his true loyalties lie. The fact that he helped set up a Pakistan Congress Foundation and the Congressional Pakistan Caucus raises red flags about his intentions and influence over American lawmakers.

Furthermore, the praise he received from Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, known for controversial statements about Osama bin Laden, adds to the suspicion surrounding Javed’s motives. Khan’s endorsement of Javed’s efforts to activate the Congressional Pakistan Caucus is alarming, considering Pakistan’s history of harboring terrorist groups.
Foreign donations in American politics are not uncommon, but when ties to questionable foreign governments like Pakistan are involved, we must scrutinize the potential motives behind such generosity. The connections between Javed, Biden, and other politicians like Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee and Rep. Ilhan Omar raise concerns about the extent of foreign influence in shaping US policies.
With the Biden family’s past dealings with countries like Ukraine and China, it’s essential to question what Pakistan may expect in return for their significant contributions. The increase in suspected terrorists entering the US illegally under the Biden administration only adds to the national security concerns raised by Javed’s involvement in American politics.
Overall, the situation with Javed highlights the need for transparency and accountability in campaign financing to safeguard American interests from foreign interference. It is crucial for lawmakers and the public to remain vigilant against potentially compromising relationships that could undermine the integrity of the US government.
