A Republican senator has leveled new charges against President Joe Biden and his family after an investigation raised new questions about allegedly questionable financial transactions.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), the leading Republican on the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, told Just the News last week that “banks filed at least six reports concerning Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings that flagged President Joe Biden’s home address in Delaware and raised concerns about possible criminal activity involving money laundering or human trafficking,” the outlet reported.
He also said “that the Suspicious Activity Reports (SARS) chronicled about $12 million in transactions over several years, some of which passed through Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Del., home where he had allowed his son to stay,” the outlet noted further.
Johnson asserted that Joe Biden would likely have been aware that his son was utilizing his home as a business and banking address if for no other reason than postal mail arriving at the location. He further contended that House impeachment investigators have ample grounds to inquire into Joe Biden’s involvement in his son’s foreign dealings. The House is scheduled to vote on formally authorizing an impeachment inquiry next week.
“There’d be so much activity coming into his address, in this case, Hunter Biden’s businesses, that he obviously would have to be aware,” Johnson said of the current Oval Office occupant. “So, again, I just use the word obvious. It has been so obvious for so long that Biden Inc. is a corrupt enterprise. And that this president is corrupt, that he is compromised.
“And he fully was aware of this, that he fully benefited from it. The members of his family benefited from all these millions of dollars flowing in from countries that are adversarial to America,” he said.
Johnson’s remarks came after a federal prosecutor indicted Hunter on nine new charges.
According to the Washington Examiner, “Special counsel David Weiss, who is leading the prosecution, brought nine charges against Biden in the Central District of California, alleging in the indictment that the first son failed to pay $1.4 million in federal taxes over a four-year period.”
Hunter faces substantial jail time if he’s convicted on all counts.
“The charges comprise three felonies and six misdemeanors, including failing to pay taxes, failing to file taxes, and filing false returns from 2016 to 2019,” the outlet continued, adding that the maximum sentence for all the charges is 17 years if the first son is found guilty.
“Rather than pay his taxes, the Defendant spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle,” the indictment said.
In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity in July, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) predicted that Joe Biden would go down as “one of the most corrupt stories in U.S. history when we get to the bottom of it.”
“I’ve been to the Treasury. I’ve read dozens of suspicious activity reports,” she told Hannity. “I can tell you the amount of money that we are talking about is staggering. I believe the number will be higher than $50 million at the end of the day.
“I believe this will be one of the most corrupt political families in U.S. history, one of the most corrupt stories in U.S. history when we get to the bottom of it,” Mace added.
What we have seen is evidence of bribery, corruption, possible racketeering, money laundering. What we have to do next, whether there is an impeachment inquiry or more investigation or a special counsel, in the meantime the House Oversight Committee, Judiciary Committee, Ways and Means, we have to get as many whistleblowers as possible,” she said.
Mace noted further that the evidence “is corroborated and text messages, emails, eyewitness testimony, whistleblowers from the IRS, et cetera. The amount of evidence is starting to become overwhelming.”
