It’s going to be hard for Democrats to spin this one…
According to a bombshell report from Just The News, James Biden, brother of President Joe Biden, told the FBI the Biden family tried to help a Chinese firm buy US energy assets.
…and they knew the firm may have had ties to Xi Jinping.
From Just The News:
James Biden told the FBI in an interview last year about efforts by him and Hunter Biden to help the CEFC energy firm in China buy a liquid natural gas facility on Monkey Island off the coast of Louisiana, and that he personally met once with the company’s chairman, Ye Jianming, according to the FBI interview report released by the committee.
“James B noted (Hunter) portrayed CEFC to him as Chairman Ye was a protégé of President Xi,” FBI agents wrote in the report.
The bombshell revelation further contradicts President Biden’s claim dating to the 2020 election that his family made no money from China. It was released as part of a cache of documents turned over to the committee by FBI whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler.
Documents previously released by federal prosecutors as part of Hunter Biden’s now-rejected plea deal show Hunter. Biden was paid millions from China, including from the CEFC deal. But James Biden’s FBI interview filled in crucial details about what the first family knew about CEFC, its leader and what it assisted with in return for payments from China.
Georgia Congressman Austin Scott (R) reacted to the news, saying “A tremendous portion of the energy that we use inside the United States comes through those hubs and the idea that you would help the Chinese acquire assets in that area, to give an adversary and again China is no longer a competitor, they are an adversary, the ability to control the energy supply inside the United States. And you’re talking about an adversary controlling the flow of U.S. energy to American citizens and American industry. I don’t understand how much more of a traitor you could be then to do such a thing.”
