LaTurner: Bidens’ leveraged Office of the VP to cash in overseas
Washington, DC – Today, Congressman Jake LaTurner (R-KS) questioned witnesses about President Biden’s involvement in his family’s foreign business dealings.
Rep. LaTurner issued these remarks during the Full Committee on Oversight and Accountability hearing: Influence Peddling: Examining Joe Biden’s Abuse of Public Office
Congressman LaTurner highlighted how Joe Biden directly benefitted from a business deal Hunter Biden and his associates engaged in with CEFC China Energy. An email between Hunter Biden and his business partners outlining the ownership structure of the CEFC deal shows that Hunter held 10% for the “Big Guy.” Through his questioning, Rep. LaTurner confirmed that Joe Biden is the “Big Guy” and that the Biden family used plausible deniability to leverage the Office of the Vice President for their own personal gain.
Below are Congressman LaTurner’s closing remarks as prepared for delivery:
REP. LATURNER: Hunter Biden begged for a public hearing, but it turns out he is too afraid of accountability to show up and tell the truth to the American people.
But Americans don’t need Hunter’s testimony to know they are being gaslit by this President. It’s blatantly obvious to anyone paying attention that Joe Biden is the big guy. The CEFC deal broke the “Say it, forget it. Write it, regret it.” rule of the Biden family business and now they are trying to cover it up.
Joe Biden said repeatedly that his family never made a dime from China, but Mr. Bobulinski just confirmed that Hunter, Jim and the Big Guy himself all got a cut from the CEFC China Energy deal. Let me be clear: The only service the Biden family ever provided was their ability to leverage the Office of the Vice President to cash-in overseas.
My Democrat colleagues are going to try and tell you that Joe Biden wasn’t on the final ownership structure agreement. But isn’t it true if someone was holding Joe Biden’s stake in the company, it wouldn’t appear in the document? Isn’t that the whole point of this email, to hold Joe Biden’s stake so his name wouldn’t be on a document?
But plausible deniability only gets you so far. […]
So when Hunter Biden is desperate for money, Jim Biden’s old trick of plausible deniability doesn’t cut it. And when desperate times call for desperate measures, Hunter Biden let the cat out of the bag, said the quiet part out loud and gave the game away by calling on his father to help him shake down his Chinese business partners for the money. And it worked.
