(The Center Square) – Companies connected to the Biden family and their business associates received about $17 million, more than previously reported, from several foreign entities, an IRS whistleblower testified before Congress Wednesday.
The revelation came as Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley and Criminal Investigator Joseph Ziegler, two IRS employees with a combined 27 experience years at the agency, testified before Congress about Hunter Biden’s alleged tax crimes.
Ziegler responded to questions from House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., laying out about $17 million in alleged payments from 2014 to 2019 to roughly 20 shell companies from Romanian, Chinese and foreign other entities.
“The purpose of documenting the foreign sources is as part of a normal international tax investigation, we have to figure out where the money is coming from,” Ziegler said.
Comer argues those shell companies were used to funnel money from overseas as part of a “bribery scheme.”
“After foreign companies sent money to business associates’ companies, the Bidens then received incremental payments over time to different bank accounts,” Comer said at the hearing. “These complicated financial transactions were used deliberately to conceal the source of the funds and total amounts.”
Both Ziegler and Shapely told lawmakers that Hunter Biden received preferential treatment during the investigation and that the Department of Justice interfered in favor of the president and his son.
The president has repeatedly denied claims about financial wrongdoing in regards to international payments to his family or connected associates.
Shapley also said the case was intentionally slowed down and mismanaged as political appointees interfered.
As The Center Square previously reported, court documents released in June show Hunter Biden, who pleaded guilty to two federal misdemeanor tax-related charges, also faced a charge related to possessing a gun while being a drug user. That firearm charge, though, is now subject to a pretrial diversion agreement, meaning Hunter Biden’s lawyers struck a deal and that it is unlikely that Hunter Biden will receive time in prison for the gun charge.
Comer said the committee has gathered thousands of pages of financial records for its investigation, including bank records for the Biden family and their associates as well as “suspicious activity reports” compiled by Treasury officials.
“A lot of this money poured in while Joe Biden was Vice President,” Comer said at the hearing. “Despite creating many companies after Vice President Biden took office, the Biden family used business associates’ companies to receive millions of dollars from foreign companies in China, Ukraine, and Romania.”
Lock these criminals up !!
all these traitors deserve to be put against a wall and shot,…..twice
THEN have their bodies, fed to the sharks.
Nothing will ever happen about all this just as nothing happened to hinter. Remember what biden said “no one f… with a biden” knowing well he controls every department.
Unfortunately i see this exactly like you. WE will spend millions on these fruitless hearings, AND IT WILL STILL BE BUSINESS as usual..
Why do you think biden placed mostly members of lgbtetc on high government positions – easy to control by promising them to do whatever they want and backs them up. Lokk around on what has happened,
I am not into politics for any one side by I can see the writings on the wall
Joe Biden DID NOT place anyone in his administration. IT was the Puppet Masters making each and every decision. I think the Biden Foreign Trips need someone to observe who goes with Biden and who is near his side directing him. Then we will know the middleman. The middleman relays the Puppet Master’s decisions.
If the Biden family is not charged and prosecuted as others committing the same crimes, then we the U.S. have become a bandana republic dictatorship.
This Treasonous, dishonest, destructive, Socialist Democrat Party’s objective is to deliberately lie, cheat and steal. To disregard the U.S. Constitution and our laws, in order to take total control of the American people by their restricting U.S. citizens their constitutional rights and freedoms, including freedom of speech. Stopping oil production, increase Spending, Taxes and the inflation cost of everything and bring American commerce and economy to its knees and to promote Socialism, enforced by their political DOJ and their FBI and IRS.
Then access power and retain it by any means available –
No matter the costs to the people, the government or the nation.
This treasonous, destructive, immoral, socialist Democrat Party, their RINOs and their corrupt, demented puppet president Joe Biden has become our country’s most destructive and deadliest ENEMY!
That is why, IF (and that’s a big if) the GOP EVER DOES WIN back full control, over the house, senate and white house, THE FIRST BLOODY THING THEY NEED TO DO, is utterly GUT THE FBI/DOJ and such INTO ashes…
