Hunter Biden Hired by Foreign Oligarch to ‘Influence’ U.S. Government: Prosecutors
The federal prosecutor overseeing an investigation into Hunter Biden claims a Romanian oligarch attempted to use his business connections with President Joe Biden’s son to wield influence over the Biden administration.
Special counsel David Weiss’s office argued Gabriel Popoviciu hired Hunter Biden because he wanted “to attempt to influence U.S. government agencies,” according to court filings released Wednesday.
In 2015, Popoviciu, a Romanian real estate tycoon, hired Hunter Biden as he faced a loss of his business assets over a Romanian criminal corruption case, per prosecutors. Bank records show Hunter Biden and his business associates received at least $3 million from Popoviciu over the next two years.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said the “Biden family’s influence peddling schemes” in Romania were laid out by them in May of last year.
“Bank records don’t lie. The mainstream media took their marching orders from the Biden White House & turned a blind eye to public corruption,” he wrote on X.
🚨The Biden family’s influence peddling schemes in Romania were documented in @GOPoversight’s bank records memorandum in May 2023.
