The ongoing laptop scandal involving Hunter Biden should prompt the incoming House GOP majority to look more closely into whether or how much President Biden was involved in his son’s international business dealings, according to the founder of the Government Accountability Institute, who spoke to Fox News.
Peter Schweizer, author of “Secret Empires,” “Clinton Cash” and “Red-Handed,” told “Life, Liberty & Levin” that one thing incoming House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., and other GOP leaders should look into is the potential presence of offshore bank accounts in Biden family names.
“[W]e know also from the laptop that some of the funds that Hunter Biden received from overseas ended up benefiting Joe Biden — that Hunter Biden was paying his bills, repairs on his home, etc.,” Schweizer said at one point during the interview. “There are also hints, by the way, that the Bidens had offshore bank accounts, which is, I think, something that the committee needs to look at when they start subpoenaing records.”
Schweizer said the laptop saga is less a “Hunter Biden story” than one featuring his presidential father.
“It’s a Joe Biden story,” he said. “Just look at the commercial enterprise that Hunter Biden set up. It all revolved around his father’s political power.”
According to the author, the younger Biden set up shop for Rosemont Seneca in Georgetown, D.C., rather than a usual location that caters to the financial sector, such Lower Manhattan.
“He set it up on Wisconsin Avenue, so he was very close to his father’s vice presidential office in the White House and also the Naval Observatory where the vice presidential residence was,” he said.
“Within a year of setting up this new firm, where Hunter Biden had no experience, he was meeting with the top finance people in China,” Schweizer continued. “Two years after that, he signs a multi-billion-dollar private equity deal bankrolled by the Bank of China. The executives that made that happen at the Bank of China had actually met with Vice President Joe Biden about a year earlier.”
“So Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and this corruption has been joined at the hip.”
Later, Schweizer noted that the New York Post’s bombshell piece that essentially made the laptop story public in 2020 looked to validate his own independent research on Hunter Biden that he had accumulated for books that had been written before to that newsbreak.
He added that information found on the younger Biden’s laptop, which was left at a now-gone Wilmington repair shop, revealed the names of four Chinese businesspeople who completed “a series of trades” totaling $31 million.
He continued by saying that the four people who have purportedly been named are or have been closely associated with the intelligence service of the CCP, which is currently in power.
“If you look at the background of those four people that made it happen for Hunter Biden and the Biden family in China, they all have links to the Ministry of State Security,” Schweizer said.
“So this is not about just corruption, this is about compromise.”
While it’s clear that something happened with Biden’s international business dealings, Schweizer is entirely correct. However, I believe we’re only beginning to scratch the surface of this corruption iceberg. The Bidens understand how politics works and wouldn’t only handle domestic funding. Consider what is below the surface based on what we can now see.
