First published 2025
Congressman James Comer opens his investigation into the Biden family's finances with a stark contrast. Joe Biden earned under $200,000 annually for most of his career, yet purchased a second multimillion-dollar home after leaving the vice presidency. Hunter Biden, lacking steady employment for decades, accumulated tens of millions through foreign business deals. The family shared financial advisors and law firms to manage their growing wealth. Comer traces suspicious money flows from China, Ukraine, Russia, and Hollywood. Banks filed dozens of Suspicious Activity Reports flagging unusual transactions. Several of Hunter's business partners now sit in prison. The Burisma deal represents just one of many seven-figure arrangements. Hunter Biden himself has confirmed many of these activities. Comer argues that only political protection prevents broader prosecutions. He challenges readers to follow a money trail that contradicts the modest public servant image, revealing a pattern of influence peddling that mainstream media coverage obscures.
