President Joe Biden lied from beginning to end about the racketeers spreading family influence. He recently granted a full pardon to his son Hunter Biden, contrary to repeated promises not to interfere. This pardon is one of the most comprehensive in U.S. history, covering more than a decade of corruption. Some have compared this pardon to President Gerald Ford's pardon of former President Richard Nixon, but the comparison falls short. Ford aimed to heal a divided nation. Biden is shielding himself and his family from accountability.
Unlike the corporate media and the Democratic Party, which tried to protect Biden until his political future was doomed, those observing the corrupt behavior of the Biden crime family are not surprised by this latest contradiction. Biden's insistence on not pardoning Hunter Biden is part of a broader pattern of deception about his family's business dealings to hide his involvement.
Earlier this Congress, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee launched an investigation into Joe Biden's family's involvement in business dealings. Despite interference from the Biden administration, we tracked the Biden family's finances and exposed 20 shell companies they set up to hide suspicious foreign payments they received. All Joe Biden was at the center of the family business.
Dissatisfied with Hunter pardon, Democrats consider withholding future donations to Biden presidential library: Report
Our investigation reveals how Joe Biden repeatedly lied about his involvement in these schemes that enriched the Biden family by tens of millions of dollars. Here are some of the biggest lies uncovered during our investigation.

1. Hunter Biden's laptop as Russian disinformation
In October 2020, days before the presidential election, the Biden campaign and now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken released a copy of Hunter Biden's discarded laptop containing evidence of Joe Biden's involvement in an influence-spreading plot. Organized a disinformation campaign to discredit the content.
These 51 disgraced former intelligence officials claimed the laptop contained all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation, but Joe Biden parroted their claims during the 2020 presidential debate. I made it. Twitter removed the New York Post article about the laptop, even though former Twitter executives acknowledged before the committee that it did not violate the platform's policies.
We now know from testimony from IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley that the FBI verified the authenticity of Hunter Biden's laptop in November 2019. Special Counsel David Weiss, who led the federal criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, also used the laptop as evidence in court.
2. “I have never discussed overseas transactions with my son.”
Biden has repeatedly insisted he has never discussed his son's business dealings. However, evidence uncovered during our investigation contradicts this claim. Evidence obtained by our committee reveals that Vice President Biden spoke, dined, and drank coffee with nearly all of Hunter Biden's foreign business associates.
Devon Archer, an associate of the Biden family, said that when Joe Biden was vice president, he visited Café Milano in Washington, D.C. with Russian oligarch Elena Baturina, Kazakh oligarch Kenneth Rakishev, and the Burisma company. He admitted in a transcribed interview that he had various dinners with his secretary Vadim Pozharskiy and others.
These dinners took place as foreign nationals or their affiliates collectively paid millions of dollars to Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden. Then-Vice President Joe Biden also met Hunter Biden's colleague Jonathan Li, a Chinese national, and wrote a letter of college recommendation for his daughter. Even when presented with this evidence, President Biden continued to lie to the American people.

Rob Walker, an associate of the Biden family who was involved in Biden's business dealings with entities in China and Romania, said Hunter Biden and his associates were the funders. Joe Biden admitted in a transcribed interview that he had met with currently missing CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming when he received $3 million from CEFC. Managed by Chinese entity CEFC.
Another Biden family business associate, Jason Galanis, testified that Hunter Biden put his father on speakerphone with Elena Baturina. Joe Biden ended the call by saying, “Okay, thank you very much.” Days later, Baturina pledged a “hard order” of $10 million to $20 million to groups benefiting Hunter Biden.
Biden has repeatedly insisted he has never discussed his son's business dealings. However, evidence uncovered during our investigation contradicts this claim. Evidence obtained by our committee reveals that Vice President Biden spoke, dined, and drank coffee with nearly all of Hunter Biden's foreign business associates.
3. “My son doesn’t make any money in China…”
During the 2020 presidential campaign, President Biden told Americans that his son was not making money in China. However, our investigation revealed that Hunter Biden and other Biden family members received millions of dollars from China for unknown services.
It also tracked how $40,000 in Chinese funds ended up in Joe Biden's personal bank account. When faced with the fact that his family did indeed receive money from China, President Biden once again lied and said it was not true that his family had received money from China.

As the truth came out during our investigation, the Biden campaign went from Joe “never spoke” about business dealings with his son to “the president had no business with his son.” I tried to move the goalposts. All these lies were done to hide the fact that Joe Biden was a family business. A hearing in which former members of the Biden family were sworn in confirmed that Joe Biden is involved in the family's business and that he is a “brand.”
IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler confirmed under oath that the Justice Department has barred them from pursuing evidence that could lead to Joe Biden. Joe Biden has long prided himself on his integrity, but his accomplishments will be defined by his repeated falsehoods. Joe Biden has been lying for a living.
