An investigation by the House Oversight Committee has reportedly implicated “nine” members of the Biden family in influence peddling and tax evasion.
Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the chairman of the committee, told Newsmax on Monday that the Bidens appeared to be running a “family business” centered around Joe Biden’s political career.
“What we’ve learned is that there are now nine confirmed Biden family members who have received some type of deposit from, what I would consider, adversarial countries around the world — not just China,” Rep. Comer said in an interview with Newsmax’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”
“So this is something that we obviously feared. We knew that there were three or four [Bidens implicated], but now we’re up to nine. And I predict there are going to be more when this is all said and done,” he said.
The Kentucky representative also raised concerns about how the Bidens had managed to evade the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
“It’s very concerning how they’ve gotten away with this — from the IRS alone is shocking,” he said.
He added that a large number of LLCs registered in the names of various members of the Biden family appeared to have been created to launder money and conceal the source of large deposits.
“But to see it up close and personal what various banks, and we’re talking about lots of different banks with lots of different accounts with lots of different Bidens, have said [what] they suspect is going on — ‘it’s very concerning.’”
