Joe Biden - the subject of the investigation opened by three commissions in the US Congress

Joe Biden, the president of the USA, is at the center of an investigation launched two days ago by the three commissions led by the Republican congressmen in the House of Representatives, regarding the acts he may have committed during the time he held the position of vice president of the USA , reports the American daily The Epoch Times. The investigation is intended to be a prelude to the launch of the impeachment procedure, and the representatives of the Republican Party claim that there is enough evidence regarding the incorrect conduct of the current American president.

The main allegations against President Biden in the investigation are as follows:

- Joe Biden would have been involved in a bribery scheme with a foreign national, according to a document confirmed by FBI Director Christopher Wray.

- President Biden would have compromised US national security by making deals with foreign adversaries.

- Joe Biden allegedly influenced the dismissal of the Ukrainian attorney general to help the energy company Burisma, which hired his son, Hunter Biden, as an adviser and received significant sums.

According to Republicans, there is increasingly clear evidence that Joe Biden was involved in influence schemes of family members, including during his term as vice president. Joe Biden's accusers offer 20 examples of the current US president's involvement in corruption schemes.

They show that in July 2003, Biden's former business associate, Devon Archer, described how Joe Biden was the "Brand" used to send "signals" of power, access, and influence for family members to access the current president. of funding from foreign citizens. Devon Archer said he witnessed at least 10 conversations in which Vice President Biden discussed the foreign business partners of his son, Hunter Biden.

The Republican congressmen presented in the American media statements of several public officials and documents that show a succession of the involvement of the current American president in the affairs carried out by Hunter Biden.

Thus, Vice President Joe Biden would have attended a dinner in February 2014 - the month and year in which the Russian Federation invaded Crimea -, where several oligarchs from Russia and Kazakhstan were present, who later ran millions of dollars in business with Hunter Biden and his associates. Just one year later, in April 2015, Vice President Biden dined with Hunter Biden's foreign partners, including Vadym Pozharsky, the CEO of Ukraine's Burisma, which at the time was being investigated for corruption by Ukraine's attorney general. Victor Shokin. According to the sources cited by the Republican congressmen, following the respective meeting, Joe Biden requested the leadership of Ukraine to replace Viktor Shokin as Prosecutor General, which happened. In this regard, Republican congressmen show that on December 4, 2015, Eric Schwerin, Hunter Biden's business partner, sent an email about Hunter Biden's involvement in the energy company Burisma to Kate Bedingfield, an employee in the office of the US Vice President Joe Biden. According to Devon Archer, after a Burisma board meeting in Dubai on the evening of December 4, 2015, Hunter Biden "called Washington" to demand that the Ukrainian company he worked for be removed from pressure from Kiev prosecutors. That same evening, Kate Bedingfield responded to Mr. Schwerin saying, "The VP approved the request." The ties to Ukraine did not stop there, with evidence showing that in 2016, Biden spoke with President Petro Poroshenko about the company Burisma, where Hunter Biden was a member of the Board of Directors.

From the evidence presented to the media by the congressmen of the Republican Party, we also note that James Gilliar, a close friend of the Biden family, sent an email to Hunter Biden in May 2017 to determine how they would share the profits from their business with CEFC, a energy company linked to the Chinese Communist Party. Gilliar indicated that Joe Biden would receive 10%, which was confirmed by former Biden family business partner Tony Bobulinski. The cited evidence also shows that on May 20, 2017, James Gilliar told Tony Bobulinski "Don't mention Joe's involvement, except when it's just the two of you, face to face."

In an email dated September 21, 2017, Hunter Biden wrote that Joe Biden is his business partner and provided his father's personal phone number in case the recipient seeks confirmation. The emails also show that Hunter Biden, CEFC officials and Joe Biden allegedly shared offices under the name Hudson West/CEFC/Biden Foundation.

Previously, on July 30, 2017, Hunter Biden asked for money from his Chinese partners and assured that next to him, present at the tetelephone shield, there is Joe Biden. Hunter further allegedly threatened his business partners: "If I get a call or text from anyone involved in this besides you, I'm going to make sure that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows there is eternal hatred and you will regret not following my direct instructions."

CEFC was chaired by Ye Jianming, a Chinese billionaire close to the Chinese Communist Party. Ye said CEFC China's vision "is to obtain foreign resources and serve the national strategy."

Regarding dealings with the China company, witness Rob Walker testified during the December 2020 FBI hearing that Joe Biden attended a CEFC meeting. Furthermore, as Vice President, Joe Biden allowed his son to travel with him on Air Force Two to do business around the world. Vice President Biden reportedly took Hunter Biden to at least 15 countries where they promoted the family "Brand."

Republicans also point out that Hunter's business partners visited the White House more than 80 times during Joe Biden's tenure as vice president.

The White House and supporters of President Biden have vehemently rejected the allegations, calling them baseless and political. They claim that the allegations were built on false information and that there is no hard evidence to support these claims.

However, in light of the 2024 US presidential election, this impeachment inquiry could significantly influence the course of US politics for years to come. Republicans see the investigation as a way to undermine President Biden's position and try to regain control of the White House, while Democrats see it as a partisan political effort to destabilize the administration.
