President Joe Biden lied from start to finish about his family's influence peddling. He recently issued a full pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, contradicting his repeated assurances that he would not intervene. The pardon could be one of the most comprehensive in U.S. history, encompassing more than a decade of corruption. Although some have drawn parallels between this pardon and President Gerald Ford's pardon of former President Richard Nixon, the comparison falls short. Ford aimed to heal a divided nation; Biden protects himself and his family from liability.
Unlike the mainstream media and Democrats, who sought to protect Biden until his political future was doomed, observers of the corrupt practices of the Biden crime family are not surprised by this latest contradiction. Biden's claim that he would not pardon Hunter Biden is part of a broader pattern of deception regarding his family's business dealings in order to cover up his involvement.
At the start of this Congress, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee launched an investigation into Joe Biden's involvement in his family's affairs. Despite obstruction from the Biden administration, we followed the Bidens' money trail, revealing the 20 shell companies they created to hide the questionable foreign payments they were receiving, all with Joe Biden at the center of it. family business.
DEMOCRATS FRUSTRATED BY HUNTER PARDON CONSIDER WITHHOLDING FUTURE DONATIONS TO BIDEN PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY: REPORT
Our investigation revealed how Joe Biden repeatedly lied about his involvement in these schemes that enriched the Bidens to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. Here are some of the biggest lies we exposed during our investigation.
1. Hunter Biden's laptop as Russian disinformation
In October 2020, days before the presidential election, the Biden campaign and now Secretary of State Antony Blinken, orchestrated a disinformation campaign to discredit the contents of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop, including evidence of Joe Biden's involvement in his influence peddling schemes.
These 51 disgraced former intelligence officials claimed the laptop contained all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation, and Joe Biden echoed that claim during the 2020 presidential debate. Twitter removed the New York Post article regarding the laptop, even though former Twitter executives admitted to our committee that it did not violate the platform's policies.
We now know, thanks to testimony from IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, that the FBI verified the authenticity of Hunter Biden's laptop in November 2019. Special Counsel David Weiss, who led the federal criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, also used the laptop as evidence in court. .
2. “I never talked to my son about his foreign business dealings”
Biden has repeatedly claimed he never discussed his son's business dealings. However, the elements discovered during our investigation contradict this assertion. Evidence obtained by our committee reveals that then-Vice President Biden spoke, dined, or had coffee with nearly all of Hunter Biden's foreign business associates.
Devon Archer, a Biden family associate, confirmed in a transcribed interview that when Joe Biden was vice president, Joe Biden dined variously with Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina, Kazakh oligarch Kenes Rakishev and the Secretary General of Burisma Vadym Pozharsky at Café Milano in Washington, DC.
These dinners took place as foreign nationals or their affiliated entities collectively paid millions of dollars to Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden. Joe Biden, then vice president, also met with Jonathan Li, a Chinese national who was Hunter Biden's associate, and wrote a college recommendation letter for his daughter. Even in the face of this evidence, President Biden continued to lie to the American people.

Rob Walker, a Biden family associate who was involved in Biden's dealings with Chinese and Romanian entities, confirmed in a transcribed interview that Joe Biden met with now-defunct CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming while Hunter Biden and his associates were receiving $3 million from a Chinese entity controlled by CEFC.
Jason Galanis, another Biden family business associate, said Hunter Biden put his father on a phone call with Yelena Baturina. Joe Biden ended the call by saying, “Okay, be nice to my boy.” A few days later, Baturina committed to placing a “firm order” of $10 million to $20 million to an entity for the benefit of Hunter Biden.
Biden has repeatedly claimed he never discussed his son's business dealings. However, the elements discovered during our investigation contradict this assertion. Evidence obtained by our committee reveals that then-Vice President Biden spoke, dined, or had coffee with nearly all of Hunter Biden's foreign business associates.
3. “My son didn’t make any money… in China”
During the 2020 presidential election, President Biden told the American people that his son was not making money in China. However, our investigation revealed that Hunter Biden and other members of the Biden family received millions of dollars from China for unknown services.
Plus, we traced how $40,000 in Chinese money ended up in Joe Biden's personal bank account. When confronted with the fact that his family had indeed received money from China, President Biden lied again and said it was not true that his family had received money from China .

As the truth emerged during our investigation, the Biden camp attempted to move the goalposts from Joe “never talked” with his son about his business dealings to “the president was never in business with his son. All of these lies were done to hide the fact that Joe Biden was the family business. At a hearing, in which former Biden family associates were sworn in, they confirmed Joe Biden's involvement in the family business and that he was “the brand.”
IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler confirmed under oath that the Justice Department barred them from following up on evidence that led to Joe Biden. Joe Biden has long prided himself on his integrity, but his legacy will be defined by his repeated lies. Joe Biden lied for a living.
