Newly released documents from IRS whistleblowers shed light on Joe Biden's involvement in his son's foreign business dealings. Hunter Biden used his family name to sell access and secure lucrative deals. Evidence shows Joe Biden attended business lunches and meetings with Hunter's associates, using his political power to advance their interests. The Bidens received millions from foreign sources, and Hunter's tax fraud likely warranted felony charges. The documents raise questions about President Biden's involvement and the need for further investigation into government corruption.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

🧵BOMBSHELL: Ways and Means has voted to release new documents from IRS whistleblowers that reveal more of Joe Biden's connection to his son's foreign business dealings. Bottom line - Joe Biden’s family has made millions from peddling his name around the world.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

Hunter Biden's business was selling the family "brand." In a message to business partners, provided by the whistleblowers, Hunter Biden questioned why he would cede control of his “family’s only asset.” Who was that "only asset?" Joe Biden and his political power.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

Hunter Biden acted as a "door opener" for access to his father. FBI interviews with Hunter Biden’s associates prove Joe Biden attended business lunches with those same people and Hunter Biden set up meetings with his father, like one for Devon Archer in 2014 while Biden was VP.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

Many of Hunter Biden's business partners had meetings with senior Biden advisors. The documents indicate that that Hunter Biden himself had a lunch with then-Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

In a 2017 email, Hunter Biden bragged he had an initial deal with a Chinese company for $10 million per year for "introductions alone." Soon after, Joe Biden attended a lunch in DC with employees of that same company. More evidence that Joe Biden was the "brand" being sold.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

Joe Biden’s name was used to drum up business around the world. Days before VP Biden visited Ukraine on an official April 2014 trip, Devon Archer met with Joe Biden directly and Hunter Biden met with Devon Archer at the White House.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

At the same time, a new email reveals that an executive from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, wanted to find a "reasonable balance" about Hunter Biden. One month after his father's trip, Hunter Biden joined the Burisma board & millions started pouring in.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

A year later, during a 2nd trip to Ukraine, Vice President Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion of U.S. aid if a prosecutor investigating Burisma wasn’t fired. By all appearances, Joe Biden used his political power and influence to advance his family's financial interests

Video Transcript AI Summary

I was assigned to handle the Ukraine situation and convince our team to provide loan guarantees. I had multiple meetings with Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk, where they promised to take action against the state prosecutor. However, they didn't follow through. When they were about to announce the $1 billion loan guarantee, I told them they wouldn't receive the money unless the prosecutor was fired. They argued that I didn't have the authority, but I stood my ground. I warned them that if the prosecutor wasn't fired within 6 hours, they wouldn't get the money. Eventually, the prosecutor was fired.

Speaker 0: Not II, but it just happened to be that was the assignment I got. I got all the good ones. And so I got Ukraine. And I remember going over convincing our team, our brothers to convincing us that we should be providing for loan guarantees. And I went over, I guess the 12th, 13th time to keep and I was supposed to announce that there was another $1,000,000,000 loan guarantee. And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor and they didn't. So they said they had it, they were walking out to press conference and said, no, I said, I'm not going to, we're not going to give you the $1,000,000,000. They said, you have no authority. You're not the president. The president said, I to call him. I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting $1,000,000,000. I said, you're not getting $1,000,000,000, I'm going to be leaving here, I think it was 6 hours, I look at it, I said, we're leaving in 6 hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money. Oh, son of a bitch. You got fired.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

Months later, Hunter Biden signed a Burisma letter warning the prosecutor's replacement "it is imperative that allegations of criminal activity made to the media about Burisma...come to an end."

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

In 2014, VP Biden hosted Hunter Biden & his business partners, and billionaire Miguel Aleman at his official residence. Afterwards, Hunter Biden told Devon Archer they needed to "cement deal w/ Miguel." In 2016, both Bidens flew to Mexico on Air Force 2 to meet Aleman.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

Documents provided by the whistleblowers add to the evidence that Hunter Biden's tax fraud most likely merited felony charges. Based on an FBI interview with President Biden's brother, investigators concluded that parts of Hunter Biden's 2018 tax return were fraudulent.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

We know Joe Biden – Met with his son's business associates; Took official trips that advanced Hunter Biden's business interests; and Demanded the firing of a Ukraine prosecutor investigating the company where Hunter Biden was a member of the board.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

All told, the Biden family and associates have received at least $24 million from foreign sources. Whistleblower docs mention 23 countries in connection to Hunter Biden's influence peddling scheme. He set up over 20 shell companies through which he & his associates moved money.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley & Joseph Ziegler's testimony exposed Hunter Biden's tax fraud. ➡️Joe Biden is implicated in messages about his son's business dealings. ➡️Hunter Biden failed to pay over $1 million in taxes. ➡️IRS officials recommended tax felony charges.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

In 2020, when Joe Biden was running for President, Kevin Morris, a major Democrat Party donor, began paying Hunter Biden's unpaid taxes. He spent more than $2 million to bailout the President's son. Pres. Biden's brother testified he "didn't know why" Morris was helping.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

IRS investigators smelled a potential campaign finance violation. But, the Assistant U.S. Attorney for Delaware Lesley Wolf shut down any further investigation into this potential crime. Our documents show even more was done to protect the Bidens by the Justice Department.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

The Delaware U.S. Attorney's office, ordered investigators to remove any mention of "Political Figure 1.” Whistleblower documents list Joe Biden as Political Figure 1. Again, the DOJ suppressed normal investigative leads because they could have implicated Joe Biden.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

The evidence from these whistleblower documents tells a disturbing story - Hunter Biden sold access to his dad for millions, committed tax fraud on that money, and then relied on the family's "only asset", Joe Biden and his political status, to dodge any meaningful consequences.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

It's no wonder that Hunter Biden sent an email to a 3rd party bragging all he had to do was wait for his father to take the Oath of Office - and all of this "stuff" would go away. It's more evidence that he fully expected his father's power would shield him from consequences.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

These documents demonstrate Joe Biden was key to selling the Biden "brand" - lunches, phone calls, official trips, meetings, with potential buyers. The evidence raises questions about how deeply involved President Biden was in Hunter Biden's foreign business deals.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

Right now, Americans don't have confidence President Biden didn't profit from his political power through his son's business dealings. The impeachment inquiry will continue to go where the facts lead to shine a light on government corruption and abuse of power.

The Ways and Means GOP released 14 hours of interviews with two IRS whistleblowers who exposed the preferential treatment given to Hunter Biden by the DOJ and IRS. The whistleblowers confirmed that Hunter received money from foreign sources and broke multiple laws. The DOJ delayed and denied the investigation, and the whistleblowers faced retaliation. The DOJ divulged sensitive details to the Biden camp and removed the whistleblowers from the investigation. The statute of limitations expired for tax years 2014 and 2015, where Hunter had significant unpaid liabilities. Americans deserve a fair justice system.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

🧵THREAD @WaysandMeansGOP just voted to release 14 hours of transcribed interviews with 2 IRS whistleblowers. Their story of how the federal government handled an investigation into a “high-profile individual” is stunning. READ:

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

The transcribed interviews shine a light on the seeming favoritism DOJ and IRS officials showed to protect this high-profile individual from justice. Whistleblowers confirmed for the first time that the individual is the President's son - Hunter Biden.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

The 2 whistleblowers exposed: Hunter received money from Ukraine, China, and Romania. All taxpayers are NOT treated the same. Biden DOJ engaged in attempts to delay, divulge, and deny IRS investigators. Whistleblowers faced retaliation for telling the truth.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

For years, Hunter didn't report all of his income to the IRS – Whistleblowers say he broke multiple laws in the process. Money came flowing in from all over the world - Ukraine, China, Romania. Much of it unreported and much of it from foreign sources.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

Hunter Biden profited off his father's name. He didn't report millions of dollars in income from foreign sources. Any ordinary American caught doing that would have faced severe consequences. Hunter Biden didn’t. Why not?

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

The whistleblowers exposed how the DOJ established a pattern of delaying, divulging, and denying the Hunter Biden investigation. At nearly every turn, officials chose protecting the powerful over exposing the truth to the American people.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

After Biden was sworn in as President, there were concerns the DOJ wouldn't be an impartial investigator. AG Merrick Garland ignored those concerns and refused to appoint a special prosecutor.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

Instead, AG Garland promised the American people in public testimony the prosecutor handling Hunter Biden's case, U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss, could bring charges against Hunter Biden outside of Delaware.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

Whistleblower testimony shows Garland’s testimony was inaccurate. For almost a year, IRS investigators and Weiss tried to advance the investigation, including bringing charges against Hunter Biden. Each time, he was denied by a Biden DOJ appointee.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

Whistleblowers described the investigation intentionally dragging on after Joe Biden became the Democrat nominee for President. According to one whistleblower:

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

That same month, well before the 2020 election, the 2 whistleblowers & their investigative team had a call with the IRS chain of command to call out the slow pace of the investigation:

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

Their warnings fell on deaf ears. In August 2020, a search warrant uncovered a text between Hunter and Henry Zhao, an executive at a Chinese company that paid Hunter $100,000. The text mentioned Joe Biden repeatedly. Investigators were not allowed to verify the information.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

Texts like these made it clear to IRS investigators that they needed to conduct a search of Joe Biden's guest house, where Hunter was living. Investigators were told: "there is no way we will get it approved."

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

Again, DOJ denied investigators’ request to question Hunter's adult children, who were suspected to have relevant information because: "It will get us into hot water if we interview the President's grandchildren."

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

In 2019, an IRS criminal investigation search warrant led to discovery of Hunter Biden’s laptop. FBI verified authenticity. IRS investigators never got full access, despite believing it may contain relevant evidence.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

Investigators wanted to question Hunter's associates, including about an e-mail referencing "Ten held by H for the big guy." An Assistant U.S. Attorney stated she did not want to ask questions about the big guy or "dad" - despite multiple objections.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

After the Nov. 2020 election, IRS agents scheduled a day of action to conduct interviews on Dec. 8, 2020. Investigators were told not to ask about Joe Biden. The night before, the FBI divulged details by tipping off the Biden transition team. Whistleblower 1:

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

After the interviews, investigators learned of a storage unit controlled by Hunter, and debated getting a search warrant for the unit. Once again, the DOJ divulged these sensitive details to the Biden camp – this time to Hunter's lawyers.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

Once the whistleblowers came forward to expose the pattern of slow walking the Hunter Biden tax investigation, the whistleblowers say they were retaliated against. The whistleblowers and their entire team were removed from the investigation at the request of DOJ.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

As a result of the Biden DOJ's repeated pattern of delay, divulge, and deny, the statute of limitations expired for tax years 2014 and 2015, where Hunter Biden had significant unpaid liabilities. These totaled over a quarter of a million dollars, but it could be more.

@RepJasonSmith - Rep. Jason Smith

Americans expect a justice system that protects whistleblowers and is honest and fair no matter who you are – even if your dad is President. Sadly, it seems that the federal government has two different tiers of justice. Americans truly deserve better.
