Chinese Business Associate Paid Hunter Biden $1,000,000 For Non-Existent Legal Services, Docs Show

/1 Comment/in , /by

Hunter Biden’s former Chinese business associate Patrick Ho paid him $1 million for apparent legal services that were never performed, newly released documents show.

Ho and Hunter Biden signed an attorney engagement letter in September 2017 where Ho agreed to pay Hunter Biden $1 million as a retainer for future legal services, according to a copy of the engagement letter, released Dec. 5 by the House Ways and Means Committee.

A former executive at defunct Chinese infrastructure firm CEFC, federal authorities arrested Ho in November 2017 on bribery charges related to his work for CEFC. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York prosecuted Ho, and Hunter Biden was not included as an attorney on the case record, IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler said in an affidavit disclosed by the House Ways and Means Committee.

“Hunter Biden is not included as an attorney on record for the Patrick Ho case in the Southern District of New York. This engagement letter related to the $1 million allegedly paid for the legal representation of Patrick Ho,” Ziegler stated.

“The $1 million payment was paid to Hunter Biden and his entity Owasco LLC on or about March 22, 2018, 9 days prior to Hunter Biden leaving for California for his self-proclaimed exile,” Ziegler added.

There Was One Major Detail Missing From the Hunter Biden Indictment

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Hunter Biden was indicted yet again, and this time it’s really a doozy. He’s facing nine counts on tax-related charges, which could land him in prison for 17 years. As significant of a step as this is, especially when the weaponized and politicized Department of Justice (DOJ) had tried to go with a sweetheart deal, there’s still significant details missing. During the Friday episode of “The Verdict,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and co-host Ben Ferguson examined how something, or rather, someone, is missing.

As the co-hosts discussed how much Hunter Biden spent on what each year over four years rather than paying his taxes, Ferguson highlighted it’s important to “follow the money” when it comes to services supposedly rendered by Hunter, which speaks to money laundering since no services were offered, and how there’s a connection to President Joe Biden himself.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) have also highlighted emails Biden sent as vice president using an alias, without CC’ing his son. Ferguson thus insisted “the idea that he wasn’t involved in his son’s business world is a flat-out lie.”

While Cruz acknowledged that 17 years is “not a slap on the wrist, it’s not mild,” it still “enrages” him that the president’s name isn’t even mentioned. How they managed to keep the president’s name out of there, as Ferguson asked, is thanks to the DOJ and how they’ve been not only “profoundly politicized,” as Cruz mentioned earlier in the podcast, but also has been “obsessively focused on ‘protect the big guy.'”

At one point, the Democrats and the mainstream media have focused on how the president is just out to protect his son, an individual overcome with grief and who thus turned to the kind of lifestyle he did, which included the use of drugs. Cruz went on to describe how the narrative though, now, is to protect the president. (Read more from “There Was One Major Detail Missing From the Hunter Biden Indictment” HERE)

Victim Hunter: GOP ‘Motherf**kers’ Trying ‘To Kill Me’; DOJ Indictments Attempt to Protect Joe

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. During a portion of an interview with “The Moby Pod” released on Friday, Hunter Biden stated that he is “not going to let these motherf*ckers use me as just another example of why people in recovery are never going to be okay,” and that the attacks on his business dealings are akin to how Nazis attacked their opponents and Putin attacked his critics.

After relaying a story of a teacher who claimed that he was running a sex trafficking ring and imprisoning children, Biden stated [relevant remarks begin around 42:40] that “there’s not much difference from that than when Fox News went on a tear that I was, in some way, connected to funding the Wuhan lab that created COVID…but also, then it went to the entire Russian Defense Ministry held a two-hour press conference to explain how [George Soros and I] were funding bioweapons labs in Ukraine in order to release migratory birds infected with diseases over Russia or that I’m a foreign agent because I got paid for doing business with foreign companies or that I am a sex trafficker because I wrote in my book that I slept with prostitutes. … [T]hey have expanded it that I am, in one sense, a mastermind criminal running a global syndicate, and on the other [hand], that I am a degenerate that can’t tie my shoes and that I should never have been in business because I’m a moron and I wasn’t doing any business, I was just basically letting people — I was being a rain bucket and letting people — but that I’m running bioweapons labs with George Soros that are going to infect the Russian population.” . . .

Biden later said, “I am not going to let these motherf*ckers use me as just another example of why people in recovery are never going to be okay, never to be trusted, they’re all degenerates.”

Comer: DOJ Indicted Hunter to Protect Joe Biden

By Breitbart. House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer (R-KY) said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that he believed Hunter Biden was indicted by federal prosecutor David Weiss on nine federal tax counts on Thursday to protect his father President Joe Biden.

Comer said, “What he got charged with, with that indictment last night, that had nothing to do with all of the so-called loans that the Bidens have taken. We’ve identified, it appears, with the president’s son and brother, over $14 million in loans where it doesn’t look like they made any payments on, principal or interest. And what point do those loans, if you’re not going to pay ’em back, become income?

Comer added, “So, we think this is just the tip of the iceberg. We think there’s many more crimes. and my concern is that Weiss may have indicted Hunter Biden to protect him from having to be deposed in the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.” (Read more from “Comer: DOJ Indicted Hunter to Protect Joe Biden” HERE)

Burisma Slashed Hunter Biden’s Salary When Donald Trump Took Office, New Indictment Shows

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings appeared to reduce Hunter Biden’s salary after his father’s vice presidency concluded and former President Donald Trump took office, according to a new indictment.

Burisma hired Hunter Biden to sit on the company’s board in spring 2014 and began paying him more than $80,000 per month while then-Vice President Biden ran the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy, bank records show. His salary dropped significantly beginning in March 2017, according to a new indictment leveled against Hunter Biden by a grand jury in California Thursday for numerous tax related charges.

“In or around April 2014, the Defendant joined the board of directors of Burisma Holdings Limited,” the indictment reads. Hunter Biden lacked experience in the energy industry and Ukraine affairs prior to his position with Burisma.

“Burisma agreed to pay the Defendant an annual salary of approximately $1,000,000, to be paid in monthly disbursements. In March 2017, Burisma reduced his compensation to approximately $500,000 a year but he continued to serve on the board of directors until in or around April 2019. As a result, he received a total of approximately $1,002,016 in 2016, $630,556 in 2017, $491,939 in 2018, and $160,207 in 2019,” the indictment adds.

Hunter Biden appeared to not report his 2014 Burisma income on his 1040 tax form, the indictment explains. His money from Burisma in 2014 went to a shell company he formed with another business associate and Burisma board member who is not named in the indictment.

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre revealed Friday whether President Joe Biden will pardon Hunter Biden in the wake of fresh criminal charges being filed against him.

Jean-Pierre spoke to reporters on Air Force One and briefly addressed the nine new tax charges leveled onto Hunter Biden by a California grand jury Thursday.

“The president has said this before, and he will continue to say, which is that he loves his son and supports him as he continues to rebuild his life. I’m going to be really careful and not comment on this and refer you to Department of Justice or my colleagues at the White House counsel,” Jean-Pierre said.

“I’m not gonna go beyond telling you all what the president has said over and over again. He’s proud of his son,” she added. (Read more from “White House Reveals Whether Joe Biden Will Pardon Son Hunter in Light of New Charges” HERE)

Hunter Biden Indicted on Nine Charges, Including Felonies

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, is indicted on nine charges, including three felonies, related to tax evasion, failure to file taxes, and submitting fraudulent tax returns. The 56-page indictment, filed in a federal court in Los Angeles, alleges that Hunter Biden engaged in a four-year scheme to evade taxes totaling at least $1.4 million for the tax years 2016 through 2019.

The charges, brought by Special Counsel David Weiss and assigned to Judge Mark Scarsi, claim that Hunter Biden spent millions on an extravagant lifestyle instead of fulfilling his tax obligations. The indictment accuses him of willfully failing to pay taxes for the specified years, despite having access to funds to cover these liabilities.

Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Weiss as special counsel in August to oversee the investigation into Hunter Biden. The Justice Department stated that if convicted, Hunter Biden could face a maximum of 17 years in prison.

The case originated from Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings, particularly his involvement with Ukrainian energy company Burisma and a Chinese private equity fund. Despite a plea deal falling apart in July, the new tax case brings to light allegations of false business deductions and manipulation of the payroll and tax withholding process within Hunter Biden’s company.

The indictment of Hunter Biden on nine charges, including three felonies, represents a significant development in the ongoing investigation into his financial activities. As the legal proceedings unfold, it remains to be seen how this situation will impact the broader political landscape and the Biden administration.

This Is the Case Feds Should Have Brought Against Hunter Biden in the First Place

/1 Comment/in , /by

Hunter Biden’s indictment on tax charges already is eliciting howls on the left, who feel the case has been “politicized.”

But the details show that the real scandal was the sweetheart deal Hunter was offered in the first place, not what he faces now.

Hunter “spent . . . money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes,” the indictment states. . .

Hunter Biden went out of his way to avoid paying taxes and “subverted the payroll and tax withholding process of his own company, Owasco, PC,” the feds allege.

It was a “scheme” to not pay $1.4 million to Uncle Sam but instead give it to Chastity at the Gentlemen’s Club. (Read more from “This Is the Case Feds Should Have Brought Against Hunter Biden in the First Place” HERE)

Ex-U.S. Attorney Says Hunter Biden Indictment Could Sink Deposition, Protect Joe Biden

/2 Comments/in , /by

A former United States attorney said Thursday the indictment of Hunter Biden on nine counts of violating tax laws could sink his upcoming congressional deposition.

Special counsel David Weiss secured the indictment of Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, for failing to pay over $1 million in taxes from 2016 to 2019. “He’s going to plead the Fifth because he now has a criminal charge in California,” former United States Attorney Brett Tollman told Fox News host Jesse Watters.

The House Oversight Committee and House Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena for Hunter Biden on Nov. 8, requiring him to appear before them for a deposition on Dec. 13. Republican Reps, James Comer of Kentucky and Jim Jordan of Ohio, who chair the committees, threatened to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings if Biden did not appear for the deposition.

“They could have brought these charges much earlier,” Tolman added. “They didn’t because they wanted to try to slip one past the American public.” (Read more from “Ex-U.S. Attorney Says Hunter Biden Indictment Could Sink Deposition, Protect Joe Biden” HERE)

‘Bunch of Lies’: Biden Denies Interacting With Hunter’s Business Associates Despite Mountain of New Evidence

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden denied that he interacted with his son’s business associates despite a new email search released by the House Ways and Means Committee apparently showing then-Vice President Biden used a pseudonym to exchange more than 50 emails with the individuals.

Mostly during the spring of 2014, Joe Biden conversed with Eric Schwerin, Hunter Biden’s business associate and accountant, using an alias, “Robin Ware,” according to an email search released Tuesday by the House Ways and Means Committee. During the time that most of the emails were exchanged, Hunter Biden joined the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings, the documents show. When asked about the documents on Wednesday, Biden denounced them as “lies.”

“On Ukraine and also China, there is polling by the Associated Press that shows that almost 70% of Americans, including 40% of Democrats, believe that you acted either illegally or unethically in regards to your family’s business interests. Can you explain to Americans, amid this impeachment inquiry, why you interacted with so many of your son and brother’s foreign business associates?” New York Post White House correspondent Steven Nelson asked after Biden’s address on support for Ukraine.

“I’m not going to comment on that. I did not. It’s just a bunch of lies,” Biden responded while Nelson tried to ask a follow up.

“I did not. They’re lies,” Biden continued before waving and exiting the Roosevelt room. (Read more from “‘Bunch of Lies’: Biden Denies Interacting With Hunter’s Business Associates Despite Mountain of New Evidence” HERE)

Bank Investigator Raises Concerns Over Chinese Firm’s Money Route to Hunter Biden and Joe Biden’s Account

/0 Comments/in , /by

A bank money laundering investigator expressed concerns about money sent from a Chinese firm to Hunter Biden’s joint business venture that eventually made its way into Joe Biden’s bank account, according to House Oversight.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer released a June 2018 email from the money laundering expert to colleagues laying out his concerns about $5 million sent from a Chinese firm to Hudson West III, Hunter Biden’s business entity, and subsequent payments to Hunter Biden’s Owasco P.C. bank account.

“Since the initial funding of $5,000,000.00 from Northern International Capital Holdings (HK) Limited on 08/08/17 as a business loan, it was noted that there was no loan agreement document submitted,” the email revealed by Comer reads. The bank and the names of its employees are redacted.

“The funds in the account have primarily funded 16 wires ranging from $157,494.19 to $400,000.00 totaling $2,915,375.25 to [redacted] CLEARING SERVICES LLC (Further Credit Owasco PC — Law Firm in D.C). These payments were indicated as management fees and reimbursements. We find it unusual that approximately 58% of the funds were transferred to the law firm in a few months and the frequency of the payments appear erratic,” the email continues.

“It was also previously indicated that HUDSON WEST III LLC does not currently have any investment projects at this time, which raises further concerns as millions in fees are being paid but does not appear to have any services rendered by Owasco P.C.” (Read more from “Bank Investigator Raises Concerns Over Chinese Firm’s Money Route to Hunter Biden and Joe Biden’s Account” HERE)
