Republicans announced Friday that they had uncovered a “direct payment” to President Joe Biden — exactly the kind of evidence they’ve sought linking Biden to his family’s foreign business deals.
But the March 2018 payment came from Joe Biden’s brother James, not a Ukrainian oligarch or Chinese tycoon, and the check was marked as a “loan repayment.”
Still, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.), who obtained the records via subpoena, said the $200,000 check looks suspicious for the president.
“Does he have documents proving he lent such a large sum of money to his brother,” Comer said in a video, “and what were the terms of such financial arrangement?”
How many is this now? Got to be close to triple digits
The crime appears to be that President Biden didn’t charge his brother interest.
Knowing them not a huge shock.
These allegations apply way more to Trump than Biden. The hypocrisy is real
That’s why they’re making such weak accusations: to make people tired of the whole exercise so that when credible accusations are made against Trump “moderates” can say ‘both sides! this is just what political parties do against their opponents’ and ignore the strength of the evidence.
“Does he have documents proving he lent such a large sum of money to his brother,”
My guess would be a cancelled check for $200,000. This should not be considered all that unusual for a guy worth roughly $10 million.
Comer said in a video, “and what were the terms of such financial arrangement?”
None of his freaking business.
