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, according to a U.S. Senator who investigated the first family’s finances for years.
Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, the top Republican on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, told the Just the News, No Noise television show Thursday night 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.
Johnson said Joe Biden would have almost certainly known his son was using his home as a business and banking address, if nothing else from postal mail arriving at the location. He added that House impeachment investigators have plenty of grounds to question Joe Biden’s complicity in his son’s foreign dealings. The House is set 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 president. “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 these millions dollars flowing in from countries that are adversarial to America,” he added.
Johnson’s revelation came just a few hours before Special Counsel David Weiss unveiled a nine-count indictment against Hunter Biden in federal court in California alleging the first son engaged in a years-long tax evasion scheme in which he avoided paying $1.4 million in federal taxes on millions in foreign incomes from countries like China, Ukraine and Romania.
“Rather than pay his taxes, the Defendant spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle,” the indictment charged.
Johnson is one of the most versed members in Congress on the Biden family scandal, having conducted a two-year probe alongside Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, that concluded in 2020 that Joe Biden’s family collected millions in foreign monies from countries adversarial to the United States that left the first family compromised from a national security perspective.
Johnson said Thursday that revelations from House investigators, IRS whistleblowers and subpoenaed documents since then only heighten his concerns.
“They (Biden family) did nothing for it (the money) other than they had the right name. And they were influence peddling. And the people paying these millions expected favors in return, some some kind of public policy coming from the former vice president and maybe even a potential president of the United States. Now they got him. Now he’s compromised.”
Johnson said his team has been assisting impeachment investigators in the House and will provide the information about Joe Biden’s house that was gleaned from the SARs.
“We found six of the Treasury reports on Hunter Biden, listing his suspicious activities,” Johnson explained. “The money flows in those reports are over $12 million. Now, there might be double counting in there, you just don’t really know exactly what the activity is. These reports are really meant to obviously raise awareness to prompt further investigation, which of course this Department of Justice, FBI, I don’t think did an honest job of doing.
“But it does point out we know what’s suspicious about them and there are terms like money laundering, human trafficking, those types, that that’s why these transactions raise suspicion,” he continued. “I mean, Hunter Biden has dozens and dozens and dozens of these Treasury reports that are concerned about suspicious activities he’s undertaking in terms of money transfers. I mean, this is, again, it’s just to me, it just underscores and confirms the criminal nature, the corrupt nature of Biden family, Inc.”
Congressional investigators say they have no identified more than 150 SARs filed over nearly a decade involving Biden family businesses and associates. Hunter Biden has been charged with tax and gun charges, but neither he or his father have ever been formally accused of money laundering or human trafficking in court. But IRS witnesses have confirmed to Congress that their tax probe into Hunter Biden began with concerns about a foreign human trafficking operation.
A Suspicious Activity Report is filed “to report known or suspected violations of law or suspicious activity observed by financial institutions subject to the regulations of the Bank Secrecy Act,” according to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
Just the News previously reported that Grassley and Johnson’s Senate committees had obtained SARs that covered concerns from FinCEN about several foreign transactions to Hunter Biden-connected businesses in September 2020 in the lead up to the presidential election.
The report, released by Grassley and Johnson, detailed Hunter Biden’s work for the Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, and the millions in compensation that he received for his position on the board. The Senators highlighted specifically how Hunter Biden’s work intersected with the exercise of official U.S. policy in Ukraine, which was being spearheaded by his father, then Vice President Joe Biden.
More than anything else this is election meddling. Election meddling in the 2020 election. All of this information was know to the treasury department yet it was intentionally suppressed in order to not taint bidens campaign.
If it wasn’t known, it should have been investigated to see if a corrupt, criminal, compromised shitbag was being installed in the White House. Apparently, that was the plan.
These people are scumbag thieves. They steal money any way they can.
Meanwhile, Trump is on trial because banks asked him how much his real estate is worth and he told them.
