Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), the assistant House Democrat leader and a top ally of the president, is convinced President Joe Biden will run for a second term in 2024, and he discouraged any challengers.

“Yes, I am,” Clyburn said when CBS News’s Robert Costa asked if he is convinced that Biden will run for reelection. 

Clyburn, who has been in House Democrat leadership for years, reportedly speaks with the president regularly and has been credited for helping Biden win their party’s primary during the 2020 presidential election. His endorsement of Biden in the primary ultimately helped him over the finish line after suffering multiple early-state losses.

The South Carolina Democrat stated that he has also encouraged Biden to “announce for reelection” on “many occasions” and praised him for passing a “more progressive legislation than any president since Lyndon Baines Johnson.”

“I’m all in for President Biden,” Clyburn told CBS News.

He also stated that he did not think Biden would get any primary challengers and discouraged any Democrat thinking about running in the race. As an example, he pointed to then-Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s primary challenge against then-President Jimmy Carter during the 1980 election cycle.

“The history is very clear on what happens when you challenge a sitting president like this,” he stated.

As Breitbart News reported, Biden has yet to make an official announcement on whether he will run for a second term in 2024. But, he recently teased reporters while he was vacationing in the Virgin Islands with family members.

The Hill recently reported that Biden is getting close to announcing his intentions to run for reelection following his family vacation. After months of speculation, reports indicated that he had used his time to talk to his family about taking steps toward another White House bid.

Battle of the 2020 Corrupt Racists in South Carolina

Biden, Bernie, and plantation politics.

March 3, 2020 

Daniel Greenfield

 

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.

Some places have battles between good and evil. Others have battles between competing evils.

In Washington D.C., there are tough fights between government bureaucrats over who gets to leak to the media first, in San Francisco, there are fierce defecating competitions between diseased vagrants, and in South Carolina, the battle of the racists was fought and won. And, spoiler alert, the racists won.

Joe Biden was able to emerge victorious because of an endorsement by Rep. Jim Clyburn. The third-ranking Democrat in the House, had declared, “I'm trying to create a surge on behalf of Joe Biden."

The exit polls showed that Clyburn had delivered. 61% of Democrats said that Clyburn’s endorsement was a factor in their vote. And for a quarter of Democrat voters, it was the biggest factor in their vote.

The devil didn’t go down to Georgia. He was from South Carolina. And now Joe’s gotta pay the price.

“My buddy Jim Clyburn, you brought me back!” Biden declared in his victory speech. But Clyburn isn’t Biden’s buddy. He's already calling for a major retooling of the Biden campaign in which "many of us around the country will be able to join with him and help him get it right." You can bet that some of the “us” will be Clyburn’s allies. There’s a reason Clyburn is a kingmaker in South Carolina. And it’s not the force of his ideas, or his stumbling speeches. He commands loyalty because he delivers for his pals.

Just go on a tour of Clyburn scandals like the Village at River’s Edge and the James E. Clyburn Transportation Center. That one only cost $107 million, went $30 million over budget, and took over a decade. The Center is a garage, it holds Clyburn's papers, and it was going to solve all our transportation problems. Instead it solved the problem of transporting money and burying it in the Clyburn Center.

But that’s just the usual slime. There’s another problem with Joe turning over his campaign to James.

Biden addressed AIPAC by video and vowed, “I will always call out anti-Semitism whether it comes from the left, right to center.”

That would be kind of awkward.

Clyburn led the fight to protect Rep. Ilhan Omar against being sanctioned for anti-Semitism. He dismissed Jewish complaints by retorting, “There are people who tell me, ‘Well, my parents are Holocaust survivors.’ ‘My parents did this.’ It’s more personal with her."

So, Joe won’t be calling out Omar. Or his buddy, James.

Clyburn had taken part in a Farrakhan town hall in 2011. He appeared despite protests by Jewish groups, including the Simon Wiesenthal Center. Rabbi Cooper of the Center had politely urged, “Rev. Farrakhan does not deserve the respectability of having Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina sit alongside him.”

But Clyburn proved that he had the same degree of respectability as Farrakhan, who had praised Hitler. Clyburn told The Final Call, the Nation of Islam’s paper, that he was, “not bothered in the least bit”

"I want to thank Minister Farrakhan for offering up a number of precepts that we ought to adhere to,” he declared.

Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam’s precepts include the belief that white people were created by an evil Jewish mad scientist, and that UFOs will come down to earth to destroy all the white people.

This is how Biden won in South Carolina.

Bernie couldn’t get Clyburn in his corner, he had to settle for the second best crooked racist. While Clyburn was appearing with Biden, Al Sharpton was defending Bernie’s socialism.

“Do not go by those who use the socialist tag to try to separate us from what we need to do for this country," the racist leader insisted at his National Action Network event.

A National Action Network leader had previously praised the racist arsonist who had burned down a Jewish store in Harlem, killing 7 people, 5 of them Latino women. More recently, a NAN chapter leader had defended anti-Semitic rhetoric excusing the mass shooting at a Kosher supermarket by members of the Black Hebrew Israelite racist hate group. But that sort of thing obviously doesn’t bother Bernie.

There are already more Jewhaters than Jews supporting his hateful campaign to destroy America. What’s the big deal of having the guy at the center of the Crown Heights Pogrom touting Bernie?

Al already lives under socialism.

Sharpton got a $1 million payday from the National Action Network. He also sold the NAN the rights to life story for a modest half a million dollars. Around that time, he owed almost $700,000 in back taxes. Previously, he had managed to dodge debts by assigning ownership of his suits to one of his companies.

Sanders is an amateur socialist grifter. Sharpton, like Bernie’s wife, is a pro.

On his MSNBC show, which Sharpton allegedly received for services rendered to Comcast, he gushed over the socialist. "Bernie Sanders is the one candidate on the stage more than anyone else that people are supporting him," the illiterate racist scoundrel declared in a clip posted by the Sanders campaign. "Bernie has ran a transformative campaign."

Resist we much.

But courting the corrupt racist has always been a big priority for Commissar Sanders. After winning in New Hampshire, Bernie had headed to a meeting with Sharpton for a socialist racist tête-à-tête.

Sharpton has a whole lot less sway with voters in South Carolina than he does with the arsonists of Harlem and the stabbers of Crown Heights. Biden gobbled up 64% of the black vote while Sanders had to settle for 15%. To add insult to injury, Tom Steyer, who just dropped out, got 13%.

In the battle of the crooked racists, Clyburn trounced Sharpton in South Carolina.

But Clyburn’s pull drops a whole lot outside South Carolina, while Super Tuesday marches on to, among other places, New York. That’s where Al got his start with his track suits, racism, and pogroms.

And while Clyburn is at least an honest politician, Sharpton is up for sale to the highest bidder.

In 2016, he was flirting with Bernie, with Hillary, and… with Bloomberg.

"Bloomberg is one of the few people who could pull off a credible independent candidacy for president," Sharpton had declared after a meeting with a Bloomberg aide.

The true significance of the South Carolina struggle, beyond sending Buttigieg off to the wine cave, is that the race’s two winners competed for the black vote, not by credibly promising to make things better for black people, but by appealing to the same old corrupt power brokers who keep things bad.

Biden is promising black voters eight more years of Obama, complete with unemployment and poverty, while Bernie is offering to wreck the entire country’s economy by chopping down the money tree, setting it on fire, and dancing on the ashes. Contrast that with President Trump’s booming economy and record low levels of black unemployment. That’s going to be the choice for black voters in 2020.

Not just between Biden or Bernie, but between plantation politics and prosperity.

Clyburn and Sharpton have figured out prosperity for themselves. Stop by the International African-American Museum, which Clyburn earmarked $784,000 for, the lead architect was his nephew, or the Drew Wellness Center, with a $229,000 earmark, whose marketing and membership director was his daughter. And ask the Reverend Al where he gets his suits and who pays for them.

Meanwhile their communities remain broken and poor, divided by hatred incited by Clyburn and Sharpton, who seek to direct blame and guilt away from the perpetrators of plantation politics.

Biden and Bernie won in South Carolina. But black voters once again lost in South Carolina.

Poll: Joe Biden’s Approval Nearing Lowest Level of Presidency at 40%

President Joe Biden’s public approval rating is at 40 percent, which is nearing the lowest level of his presidency, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

The 40 percent comes from a three-day national Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed Sunday, with 1,035 adults and a three percent margin of error.

Biden’s recent poll comes after weeks of controversy and receiving criticism over the mishandling of classified documents.

Reports showed about 25 documents were found between Biden’s vice-presidential office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, which is within close proximity to Capitol Hill, in addition to other places such as his home in Delaware.

The recent poll numbers are nearing the lowest approval levels (the mid to high 30s) he saw in the middle of last year.

During the first two years of his presidency, the president had numerous bad poll numbers after overcoming several problems. Some of the problems Biden saw in the first half of his presidency included the country going through a major supply chain crisis, a baby formula shortage, the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, and record-high inflation. The country also saw record-high gas prices in 2022.'

As Breitbart News reported, Biden has yet to make an official announcement on whether or not he would run for a second term in 2024. But, he recently teased reporters while he was vacationing in the Virgin Islands with family members.

However, the Hill recently reported that Biden is getting close to announcing his intentions to run for reelection following his family vacation. After months of speculation, reports indicated that he had used his time to talk to his family about taking steps toward another White House bid.

Report: White House, DOJ Agreed to Hide Classified Document Scandal

The White House and Justice Department (DOJ) reportedly agreed to hide President Joe Biden’s classified document scandal from the American people until it leaked to the press, despite their repeated claims of transparency.

Not only did the White House and DOJ try to obscure the scandal from public view, but they also refused to divulge that the second trove of classified documents were already unearthed at Biden’s home in Wilmington when CBS News first contacted the White House about the initial leak of classified documents apparently illegally stored at the Biden Penn Center, according to the Washington Post: “Early on, Biden’s attorneys and Justice Department investigators both thought they had a shared understanding about keeping the matter quiet,” the Post admitted, noting the Biden administration’s attempt to conceal revelations of the second trove of stashed documents.

“CBS News was the first news organization to learn of the matter, contacting the White House on Jan. 6 to ask about the Penn Biden Center documents,” the report continued. “White House officials confirmed the scoop, but since the investigation was ongoing, they decided not to offer any additional details — including the critical information that a second batch of documents had been discovered at Biden’s home.”

That the Biden administration tried to conceal the scandal contradicts their claims of transparency.

“There was transparency in doing what you’re supposed to do when these items were discovered,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre falsely claimed on January 12.

Since the Justice Department appointed a special prosecutor, the White House has provided little transparency. “I’m just going to continue to be prudent here. I’m going to let this ongoing review that is happening — this legal process that is happening — let that process continue under the special counsel. We’re not — I’m not — going to comment from here,” Jean-Pierre said Tuesday.

“Look, guys, you guys can ask me this 100 times, 200 times, if you wish. I’m going to keep saying the same thing,” she added. “I hear your question. It’s been asked. It’s been answered. It’s been noted.”

Critics have questioned why Biden’s personal attorneys were initially searching for Biden’s illegally stashed documents. The White House has failed to provide the initial reason or cause for the search.

WH: We Can’t Talk about Spending Cuts Now, But We Will Talk about IRS Enforcement

2:34

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports,” White House Council of Economic Advisers member Jared Bernstein said that right now isn’t the time to talk about where the White House thinks spending can be cut, but we can talk about “raising the revenue that is owed to us” through IRS enforcement to “make sure people are paying, especially those in the top 1%, paying what they owe.”

After Bernstein stated that the White House would welcome discussing spending cuts, just not in the context of raising the debt ceiling, host Katy Tur asked, “Well, what would be on the table for a discussion like that? Where could money get cut? Is it looking into the Defense budget, the Pentagon’s budget, which, by all accounts, is a black hole with tons of money that, for classified reasons or other reasons, just doesn’t get publicly accounted for?”

Bernstein responded, “That’s a conversation that we should have around budget time when we talk about what’s on the table and what isn’t and there will be a good time to have that talk. I think one thing we can talk about right now, though, because we’ve seen these ideas come from the House Republicans, is simply raising the revenue that is owed to us. So, the first bill that House Republicans said they wanted to pass was gutting spending slated for the IRS that came through the Inflation Reduction Act. Now, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office scored that proposal as adding 115 billion to the deficit. So, the first thing that these supposed fiscal hawks want to do is come in and increase the budget deficit by over $100 billion by letting wealthy tax cheats get away with evading their taxes. Again, this is exactly the opposite of what this president wants to do and it flies in the face of tax fairness. That’s the right place to start, make sure people are paying, especially those in the top 1%, paying what they owe. When it comes to negotiating spending, I’m not going to do that right here with you right now –.”

Tur then cut in to ask, “Why not? I think it’s as good of a place as any to talk about where we can make some cuts.”

Bernstein answered, “You know what? I suspect you and I could come up with some pretty good ideas. That’s just not the way it works. But maybe some day we can do that.”

Bernstein also touted cost reductions from Medicare negotiating drug prices and saving on clean energy.


Hunter Biden Lived in Wilmington House with Classified Documents While Bagging Millions Linked to the Highest Levels of Chinese Intelligence

While addicted to drugs, cavorting with prostitutes, and making deals with businessmen tied to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence, Hunter Biden lived in the house where Joe Biden stored classified documents.

On a background-check application dated July 2018, Hunter Biden claimed that he paid $49,910 per month in rent and that his “current residence” at that time was 1209 Barley Mill Road in Wilmington, Delaware, according to a document found on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop.

Hunter also listed that Wilmington address as his primary residence on at least one form of identification (his Delaware driver’s license) and used the same address as his billing address for both his personal credit card and Apple account in 2018 and 2019, a review of files from Hunter’s abandoned laptop reveals.

According to the background check document, Hunter claimed that he paid rent from March 2017 until February 2018 (11 months) at the Wilmington address leading some to wonder if he was paying rent to his father, who has owned the home since 1996. But Hunter apparently filled out the form in error.

Contrary to some reporting, Hunter Biden was not paying his father $49,910 per month; rather, that figure represents the amount Hunter was paying to rent prime office space at the prestigious House of Sweden in Washington, D.C., materials in Hunter’s laptop show.

Nevertheless, the period that Hunter claimed he was living at 1209 Barley Mill Rd (the Wilmington house where classified documents were found) overlaps with the time multiple Biden family members were taking money from foreign businessmen linked to the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) intelligence apparatus.

Hunter claimed on various documents and financial statements that he lived at the Wilmington House between early 2017 and 2019—immediately following his father’s second term as vice president and as Joe Biden was gearing up for his presidential run.

Given the discovery of the classified documents at multiple unsecure locations, the timeline of the Bidens’ Chinese business deals paints a troubling picture.

Beginning in late 2015, while his father was still vice president, Hunter Biden began making plans to meet with officials from the Chinese energy company CEFC. CEFC and at least four of its principals and associates, Ye Jianming, Patrick Ho, Gongwen Dong and Jiaqi Bao, have been linked to the Chinese government and its military intelligence apparatus. Hunter once described Patrick Ho as “the fucking spy chief of China.”

Many observers viewed CEFC as a state-directed entity. CNN, for example reported in 2018:

From the yellow stars in its logo to the fact it had China in its name – a privilege normally reserved for state-owned companies – CEFC China Energy’s messaging strongly suggested state ties.

By early 2017, Hunter was directly corresponding with CEFC personnel and flew to Miami in February of that year to meet with CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming. During this trip, Ye Jianming gave Hunter a 3.16 carat diamond valued at approximately $80,000.

When Hunter’s ex-wife discovered that he had obtained something of such immense value, she had her divorce attorney send an “Urgent” email seeking to determine the whereabouts of the diamond and secure the asset before Hunter could “dissipate” it. Hunter’s attorney offered a shady denial:

There is no diamond in Hunter’s possession. I don’t know where Kathleen is getting access to this information, but on this score, what your email purports below is inaccurate.

Metadata gleaned from photos of the diamond on the abandoned laptop indicate that Hunter lied about not having the diamond and he in fact had the diamond with him in Wilmington. The current location of the 3.16 carat diamond remains unknown.

After the fateful February 2017 meeting with Ye, and around the time Hunter claimed to have moved into the Wilmington house where classified documents were found, the Bidens’ business with CEFC exploded.

Nine days after Miami meeting, Hunter received two separate wire transfers of $3 million which the Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network flagged as suspicious.

Between April 2017 and September 2018, CEFC and its affiliates funneled millions of dollars to the Bidens (mostly to Hunter, but some of that money flowed to Joe Biden’s brother and sister-in-law, James and Sara Biden). Joe Biden met with Hunter’s business partners during this time. All the while, top secret and sensitive compartmented information documents were just lying around in unsecured locations (such as the closet of the Penn Biden Center and the Wilmington garage), easily accessible by the Bidens and their associates.

James Biden, Joe’s brother, was central to the Biden business dealings with CEFC. One of Hunter’s former business associates, Tony Bobulinski, messaged another associate, James Gilliar, on April 30, 2017, wondering “what is the deal [with] Jim Biden as he wasn’t part of the discussion and now seems a focal point.” Likely alluding to Hunter’s addictions, Gilliar replied:

[With Hunter’s] demons, [it] could be good to have [Jimmy as] a backup…he strengthens our U[nique] S[elling] P[roposition] to [the] Chinese as it looks like a truly family business. [Emphasis added]

Bobulinski met with Hunter, James, and Joe Biden for at least an hour on the evening of May 2, 2017, and he alleges that they discussed the Biden family business dealings in China with which the former vice president was “plainly familiar.”

On May 13, 2017, Gilliar emailed Bobulinski an equity breakdown of a new business venture involving CEFC wherein Gilliar proposed Hunter will hold a 20 percent equity stake and 10 percent will be held by Hunter for “the big guy.” Tony Bobulinski alleges that Joe Biden is the big guy.

According to messages Bobulinski provided to congressional investigators, Hunter claimed he talked to Ye on a “regular basis” because “we have a standing once a week call as I am also his personal counsel (we signed an attorney client engagement letter) in the U.S.” Hunter also claimed he was advising Ye “on a number of his personal issues (staff visas and some more sensitive things).”

The chairman of CEFC, Ye Jianming, has been linked to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence and CNN reported that Ye was a suspected “princeling” of People’s Liberation Army top brass.

In their summer 2017 correspondences, Hunter sent “best wishes from the entire Biden family” and Ye concluded his reply “please accept my best regards to you and your family.”

Between February 9, 2017, and December 20,2018, tens of millions—perhaps more than $150 million—flowed between a dizzying web of CEFC-linked companies and shell corporations. And some of that money went directly into Biden family coffers.

On August 8, 2017, CEFC wired $5 million to an entity called Hudson West III. That same day, Hudson West began wiring payments that would ultimately total $4,790,375.25 to Hunter Biden’s Owasco LLC. The last payment was on September 25, 2018, according to congressional investigators. Between August 14, 2017, and August 3, 2018, Owasco sent 20 wires totaling $1,398,999 to James and his wife Sara Biden’s consulting firm.

The following photo retrieved from Hunter Biden’s hard drive appears to show a flow chart describing the ownership breakdown of Hudson West.

Throughout the summer of 2017, as the CEFC arrangements were being hashed out, Hunter talked with Ye Jianming about the impending legal troubles of another CEFC principal, Patrick Ho (the “spy chief”).

In September 2017, Hunter agreed to represent Ho and executed an agreement to provide “Counsel to matters related to US law and advice pertaining to the hiring and legal analysis of any US Law Firm or Lawyer.” Hunter was ultimately paid $1 million through his Owasco LLC (the wire transfer memo line read “Dr Patrick Ho Chi Ping Representation”) to represent Ho.

Patrick Ho was arrested on November 18, 2017 and he was convicted in December 2018 on international bribery and money laundering charges, according to the New York Times. Upon incarceration, Ho’s first phone call from jail was to James Biden. He was looking for Hunter and James Biden gave him Hunter’s contact information.

Notably, Hunter Biden had never been a serious attorney, so his receiving one million dollars to represent Ho is notable given that Hunter was apparently living in a house with classified documents at the time.

The same month that Hunter executed the representation agreement for the Patrick Ho matter, September 2017, CEFC-linked companies provided three separate credit cards for Hunter, James, and Sara Biden. These credit cards allowed the Bidens to go on extravagant shopping sprees and the racked up more than $100,000 in purchases.

Also in September 2017, Hunter Biden leased the plush office space at the House of Sweden for an entity called the Biden Foundation and for a CEFC branch. A September 2017 email shows Hunter requesting keys to the building for Joe Biden, Jill Biden, Jim Biden, and “Chairman Ye CEFC emissary.” It was here that he paid $49,910 per month. in rent.

And it was at this time that Hunter claimed 1209 Barley Mill Road as his residence. That home, owned by Joe and Jill Biden, is where Joe Biden kept the sensitive documents next to his Corvette in the garage (“so it’s not like [these classified documents] were just sitting in the street,” Biden said in his own defense last week).

By spring 2018, the business with CEFC was beginning to fall apart. Patrick Ho was tainted by his international bribery charges and Ye Jianming was under investigation in China for “suspected economic crimes,” and had essentially vanished after detention by CCP officials.

In a now famous January 2019 text message, Hunter complained to his daughter Naomi that Joe Biden (whom the family called “Pop”) had demanded half his (Hunter’s) salary for decades:

I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family [for] 30 years. It’s really hard. But don’t worry unlike Pop I won’t make you give me half your salary.

Joe Biden benefitted from Hunter’s business dealings which helped to finance father’s monthly bills, paid for repairs to the Barley Mill road estate in Wilmington, and bankrolled the office space for Joe and Jill Biden’s foundation at the pricey House of Sweden complex.

My colleague Peter Schweizer’s runaway bestseller, Red Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, first revealed that the Biden family received some $31 million from the highest levels of Chinese intelligence at the same time Hunter was paying the vice president’s bills. Schweizer believes that there is a slam dunk case to indict Hunter Biden.

The latest developments involving apparent mishandling of classified information underscore the gravity of the ongoing Biden corruption scandals.

Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), Breitbart News senior contributor, and author of Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, said on Monday he believed the incoming Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives would investigate conflicts of interest pertaining to President Joe Biden via his second son, Hunter Biden, including the issuance of subpoenas to testify before congressional committees.

“What I think we’re going to see with this new Congress are actual congressional hearings where Hunter Biden is subpoenaed,” Schweizer stated while guest-hosting the Sean Hannity Show alongside GAI colleague Eric Eggers.

Schweizer emphasized his role in breaking the initial investigations of Hunter Biden via his own research into the president’s son’s foreign financial dealings.

He recalled joining Hannity on the latter’s radio and television shows in 2018 to explain Hunter Biden’s foreign financial ties to state entities in China and Ukraine, as detailed in his book Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends.

He added, “It’s been four years since we first broke this story with Sean Hannity in 2018, but it’s now finally coming to fruition, and that’s something we should all be very excited about.”

Schweizer was mentioned by journalist Michael Shellenberger in the latter’s latest series of revelations as part of the “Twitter Files” — internal company documents from Twitter forwarded by its new CEO Elon Musk — in relation to the technology company’s censorship of information related to the contents on Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell.”

Shellenberger spoke with Schweizer recently about the latter’s research into Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings.

Asked by Eggers about Shellenberger’s references to his investigative reporting, Schweizer said it was “quite positive.”

(CNSNews.com) - Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chair of the House Oversight Committee, said on Thursday night he wants to follow the trail of anonymous Chinese money to the Biden family, and the possible influence China's Communist Party may have had on Biden policies.

For example, in February 2022, the Biden administration ended the Trump-era China Initiative, established by the Justice Department in 2018 to counter national security threats from the People's Republic of China.

"So we're sending a letter to Penn, requesting documents related to the Chinese donations," Comer told investigative reporter John Solomon Thursday night:

"We want the list of the individuals involved, whoever was involved in soliciting donations from China -- we want all communications, because I think this is very important. This is another aspect of the potential for this family to be compromised.

"Look at the pattern here, from China. Anonymous donations to the Biden Center for diplomacy, which paid Joe Biden a salary; anonymous donors into Hunter Biden's shady LLC from China; anonymous purchasers of art from China at Hunter's new art gallery in New York City: There is a pattern here of massive amounts of money flowing into Biden interests. And this is why we're investigating this family.

"And I think what's happened in the last 48 hours with the mainstream media -- they see the legitimacy of this investigation. And I think we've got a lot of momentum now and a lot of purpose behind what we're doing, and hopefully, we'll be able to get some answers very soon."

Penn -- the University of Pennsylvania -- established the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., providing Biden with office space after he served as vice president.

Penn reportedly received millions of dollars in donations from China, among other sources, to establish the Penn Biden think tank -- where some classified material was found in Biden's office last November.

Threats from China

Looking back one year to February 2022, Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen explained the threat from China, even as he announced the end of the DOJ's China Initiative:

"I’ll give you a few examples of what the PRC government is doing," Olsen said in a speech at George Mason University in Virginia:

"First, it has targeted U.S. citizens with connections to the intelligence community to obtain valuable government and military secrets. In recent years, we have prosecuted four espionage cases involving the PRC, reflecting a concerted effort to steal our most sensitive information.

"Second, the government of China has also used espionage tools and tactics against U.S. companies and American workers to steal critical and emerging technologies. Agents of the PRC government have been caught stealing everything from cutting-edge semiconductor technology to actual seeds that had been developed for pharmaceutical uses after years of research and the investment of millions of dollars.

"Third, the PRC government has used malicious and unlawful cyber campaigns to pursue technological advancement and profit. The PRC reaps the benefits of these criminal activities, while the victims, including governments, businesses and critical infrastructure operators, lose billions of dollars in intellectual property, proprietary information, ransom payments and mitigation efforts.

"Finally, China’s government has gone to great lengths to silence dissent. It has intimidated journalists and employed a variety of means to attempt to censor and punish U.S. citizens, residents, and companies for exercising their rights to free expression. I mentioned earlier Operation Fox Hunt — the PRC’s illegal effort to coerce the return of certain Chinese dissidents to China — which is just one example."

Then Olsen explained why DOJ was scrapping the China Initiative:

"We have heard concerns from the civil rights community that the 'China Initiative' fueled a narrative of intolerance and bias. To many, that narrative suggests that the Justice Department treats people from China or of Chinese descent differently. The rise in anti-Asian hate crime and hate incidents only heightens these concerns...

"There are also increasing concerns from the academic and scientific community about the department’s pursuit of certain research grant fraud cases. We have heard that these prosecutions — and the public narrative they create — can lead to a chilling atmosphere for scientists and scholars that damages the scientific enterprise in this country.

"Safeguarding the integrity and transparency of research institutions is a matter of national security. But so is ensuring that we continue to attract the best and the brightest researchers and scholars to our country from all around the world — and that we all continue to honor our tradition of academic openness and collaboration.

"In light of these concerns, we began a review soon after I took office...While I remain focused on the evolving, significant threat that the government of China poses, I have concluded that this initiative is not the right approach. Instead, the current threat landscape demands a broader approach.

"I want to emphasize my belief that the department’s actions have been driven by genuine national security concerns. But by grouping cases under the China Initiative rubric, we helped give rise to a harmful perception that the department applies a lower standard to investigate and prosecute criminal conduct related to that country or that we in some way view people with racial, ethnic or familial ties to China differently..."

Olsen said the DOJ's National Security Division would be "relentless in defending our country from China," but instead of calling it the China Initiative, DOJ would lump China in with other hostile nations, through a so-called "Strategy for Countering Nation-State Threats." .
