Bank records obtained by the House Oversight and Accountability Committee show that President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, made monthly payments to his father from a business account linked to foreign business deals in China, Ukraine, and other countries. The payments, totaling $1,380 each, contradict President Biden's claims of not receiving money from his family's business ventures. Hunter Biden's attorney claims the payments were repayment for a loan, but emails found on his discarded laptop suggest they were for a truck loan. The House panel has also discovered checks totaling $240,000 sent to Joe Biden from his brother James Biden, which appear to be funded by business deals facilitated by Joe Biden's name.

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability has obtained bank records revealing a $200,000 direct payment from James and Sara Biden to Joe Biden in the form of a personal check. The payment raises questions about how President Biden personally benefited from his family's financial dealings and access to him. James Biden had received $600,000 in loans from a financially distressed rural hospital operator, and on the same day he received a $200,000 loan, he wrote a check for the same amount to Joe Biden. The committee is calling on President Biden to provide documents and answer questions about these financial arrangements.

Seth Meyers reacts to Donald Trump's claim that his contracts contain a disclaimer stating that "nothing in them is true" during his civil fraud trial. Meyers expresses disbelief at the idea that Trump cannot be held liable because his business records have a warning to not believe anything in them. The judge overseeing the case ruled that Trump committed fraud by overvaluing his assets to obtain bank loans and seal deals. Meyers predicts a hilariously terrifying consequence for Trump involving his former attorney Rudy Giuliani.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has announced that he will issue subpoenas for bank records of Hunter Biden and James Biden as part of the House GOP impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. Top House Republicans believe that the bank records could provide crucial evidence regarding the allegations that President Biden was involved in and benefited from his family's business practices. Comer also mentioned the possibility of subpoenaing President Biden's bank records. The committee recently obtained bank records showing that Hunter Biden received wires originating from Beijing, with Joe Biden's home address listed as the beneficiary address. The wires totaled over $250,000 and were reportedly loans.

During his show, Stuart Varney presented "hard evidence" discovered by Rep. James Comer, revealing foreign money flowing into Biden family bank accounts, including from China, Romania, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine, totaling over $20 million. The bank records show shell companies were used to hide the source of the funds, and examples include Yelena Baturina, the wife of the late mayor of Moscow, and Kazakh oligarch Kenes Rakishev. Varney argues that this evidence proves the Biden family's corruption and contradicts President Joe Biden's claims. The investigating committee has not yet subpoenaed the Biden family's bank records.

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability has released a third bank records memorandum revealing new information about the Biden family's alleged influence peddling schemes. The memorandum outlines how the Bidens and their associates received millions of dollars from oligarchs in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine during Joe Biden's vice presidency. Hunter Biden's former business partner testified that Joe Biden was "the brand" used to enrich the Biden family, and evidence suggests that no real services were provided in exchange for the payments. The committee will continue to investigate whether foreign actors targeted the Bidens, if President Biden is compromised or corrupt, and if national security is at risk.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has claimed that new bank records his panel expects to obtain will reveal that the Biden family has accepted as much as $30 million from foreign nationals. Comer has identified nine members of the Biden clan, including first son Hunter Biden and the president’s brother James Biden, as having allegedly received foreign income. The panel has gleaned the information from records Comer has issued subpoenas for from four banks. Comer vowed to continue following the money and noted that the committee hasn’t begun probing first brother James’ overseas business dealings, which could put the total amount of money the Biden family has accepted from foreign nationals even higher.

New bank records obtained by the House Oversight Committee through a subpoena show payments made to companies tied to Hunter Biden from foreign entities in China and Romania, raising questions about his business activities while his father was vice president. However, the committee does not suggest any illegality about the payments from foreign sources, and the bank records do not indicate the purpose of the payments that were made. The memo does not show any payments made directly to Joe Biden, either as vice president or after leaving office.
