Hunter Biden Leaves China Board as Trump Attacks Hit Home
2:39
Hunter Biden is walking away from the board of a Chinese-backed private equity company as part of a public pledge to disavow all foreign work if his father, former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, gains the presidency in 2020.
Joe Biden’s second son made his move after a month of pushing by U.S. President Donald Trump who has publicly highlighted the perceived – and real – conflicts of interest represented by Biden’s work in Asia.
A statement released on his behalf by his legal counsel George Mesires said his relationship with the management company of a private equity fund that’s backed by Chinese state-owned entities will end within weeks.
The 49-year-old doesn’t state whether he will be divesting from BHR (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management Company. The company was set up in 2013 to invest Chinese capital outside of China.
Instead the young Biden pledged he wouldn’t work for any foreign-owned companies or serve on their boards during a potential Biden administration.
“Hunter always understood that his father would be guided, entirely and unequivocally, by established U.S. policy, regardless of its effects on Hunter’s professional interests,” the statement said. “He never anticipated the barrage of false charges against both him and his father by the President of the United States.”
Just two days ago Trump again highlighted the problem of Hunter Biden seeking work overseas during a political rally in Louisiana, as Breitbart News reported.
“He doesn’t know what a gasoline tank looks like,” Trump said, explaining Biden’s son knew nothing about energy despite earning up to $83,000 a month for sitting on a board of a corrupt energy company in Ukraine.
Trump then ripped Hunter for leaving China with $1.5 billion in investments from the bank of China despite knowing “nothing” and mocked the news broadcasts for repeatedly saying that Trump’s claims of corruption were “totally unsubstantiated” … at Biden’s request.
“It’s not unsubstantiated, he took a fortune out of Ukraine, knew nothing, took a fortune out of China,” he said.
He expressed skepticism Hunter Biden was able to get $1.5 billion in Chinese investments because they thought he was a good investment.
“For a guy to walk in from off the street with no experience, a bad track record, just got thrown out of the navy, and he walks away with $1.5 billion?” Trump said.

Clinton Foundation Put On Watch List Of Suspicious ‘Charities’
#1 New York Times Bestseller!
Peter Schweizer
has been fighting corruption―and winning―for years. In Throw Them All Out, he
exposed insider trading by members of Congress, leading to the passage of the
STOCK Act. In Extortion,
he uncovered how politicians use mafia-like tactics to enrich themselves. And
in Clinton Cash,
he revealed the Clintons’ massive money machine and sparked an FBI
investigation.
Now he explains
how a new corruption has taken hold, involving larger sums of money than ever
before. Stuffing tens of thousands of dollars into a freezer has morphed into
multibillion-dollar equity deals done in the dark corners of the world.
An American bank
opening in China would be prohibited by US law from hiring a slew of family
members of top Chinese politicians. However, a Chinese bank opening in America
can hire anyone it wants. It can even invite the friends and families of
American politicians to invest in can’t-lose deals.
President Donald
Trump’s children have made front pages across the world for their dicey
transactions. However, the media has barely looked into questionable deals made
by those close to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Mitch McConnell, and
lesser-known politicians who have been in the game longer.
In many parts of
the world, the children of powerful political figures go into business and
profit handsomely, not necessarily because they are good at it, but because
people want to curry favor with their influential parents. This is a relatively
new phenomenon in the United States. But for relatives of some prominent
political families, we may already be talking about hundreds of millions of
dollars.
Deeply researched and packed with shocking revelations, Secret Empires identifies
public servants who cannot be trusted and provides a path toward a more
accountable government.

Breitbart
News senior contributor Peter Schweizer, author of “Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides
Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends,” on Friday
stressed the importance of 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden
addressing the Ukraine issue involving him and his son, Hunter.
Schweizer said the former vice
president needs to address his family’s dealings in Ukraine “front and center”
rather than ignoring because polling indicates most people believe it needs
further investigation.
“[Hunter Biden] has been radio
silent, and I think if you look at the way the Bidens have handled this issue,
it’s been to not answer any questions, which I think just raises further
suspicions,” Schweizer told Fox News Channel’s “America’s
Newsroom.” “Hunter Biden is somewhere, allegedly in California hiding out,
and Joe Biden won’t answer any questions on this. He gets angry.”
“I think at some point they’re going
to have to address these issues front and center because as it stands right
now, polls indicate that most people believe this needs further investigation
and needs to be looked at,” he added.

THE BRIBES SUCKING LIVES OF HILLARY
& BILLARY
The Clintons have been a
criminal enterprise since they came to power in Arkansas. The list
of scandals they have generated is long and tawdry. Their principal
goal then and now has always been to enrich themselves. They never
once had a moral compunction about lying, cheating, selling, and stealing their
way to wealth. They are the Perons of America. They eventually
set up a "foundation" and the money kept rolling in.
Only six percent of the
billions of dollars the "Foundation" takes in goes to
charity. The rest subsidizes the lavish lifestyles of the Clintons
and their sycophants; those people who have sold their souls to rub shoulders
with unadulterated power.

The left cared
nothing about that bit of collusion.

chairman, John Podesta, is reaping the financial benefits of being on the board
of a Russian company, Joule, which he did not disclose. PATRICIA

“There is no controlling Bill Clinton. He does whatever he wants and runs up incredible expenses with
foundation funds,” states a separate interview memo attached to the submission.
“Bill Clinton mixes and matches his personal
business with that of the foundation. Many people within the foundation have
tried to caution him about this but he does not listen, and there really is no
talking to him,” the memo added.
HILLARY CLINTON: Serving
the super-rich and filling her bottomless pockets as she does!
"And this being
Hillary, with her stated presidential ambitions still remaining, it's also a
distinct possibility that donations to the Clinton Foundation are still being
sought, especially since they have dropped to nearly nothing now that Clinton has
no influence to sell. With Hillary, it's always about
money. Her stint as secretary of state was completely about pay to play, after all." MONICA

Turns out Biden's family not the only one to benefit from
Ukrainian fossil fuels
On Sept. 24, 2019, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the official impeachment inquiry that would be led by the Intelligence Committee and Rep.
Adam Schiff (D-Calif.). At first, this was a curious decision to
objective persons, since the Judiciary Committee has the authority over this
type of procedure. At the time, Pelosi indicated a threat by
President Donald Trump to our national security during the July 25 conversation
between him and President Zelensky of Ukraine. She did this without
the benefit of the transcript, but she doubtless already knew much of the CIA
"whistleblower's" complaint. Further, the Ukrainian president disputes her version.
But this is not the rationale for her haste to convene the
investigation. It appears that the D.C. swamp benefits another
powerful family. The Biden family has
gotten special treatment from Ukrainian oil interests, and the Pelosi family
has a similar advantage. Paul Pelosi, Jr. was a board member of
Viscoil and an executive at its related company NRGLab, which was involved in
energy business in Ukraine. Perhaps the use of the Intelligence
Committee has given the Democrats the opportunity to limit Republican questioning
and maintain secrecy over the responses from subpoenaed
witnesses. This would prevent any official record implicating
Pelosi's son. This also explains her
reluctance to take a vote authorizing the investigation, since the minority
party would gain some rights.
This is interesting also since much of the Democratic Party
rejects carbon-based energy sources. Biden has made this a part of
his campaign. The Green New Deal proposals will eventually end
dependency on oil and gas as an energy source. But this does not
stop these politicos from benefiting financially from this sector of the
economy. This reminds one of the financial benefits that Al Gore's
father had from Occidental Petroleum, which was one of the great polluters
(remember Love Canal?). He chose to make money selling carbon
offsets to atone and make his own name.
The Ukrainian oil company Burisma used
many well connected members of the D.C. establishment connected to the Obama
administration. This interlocking swamp is a threat to the
USA. But the media have managed to convince a vast number of
Americans that Trump is the threat. When Trump railed against Pelosi
in Louisiana on Friday, he was accusing her of not just splitting the nation
politically, but also ignoring the financial benefits to powerful families at
the detriment of our national security. This also helps explain the
constant discussion in public about Biden's son Hunter, in addition to the
political advantage he might gain.
No wonder the establishment (including many Republicans) wants to
impeach Trump. Family security always "trumps" national
security in the D.C. swamp.
