During his term in office, President Biden was the subject of a lengthy congressional investigation run by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Accountability. The head of that committee, Representative James Comer, recently shared all that he learned about the First Family in an upcoming book.

From The New York Post. Joe Biden was “central in his family’s moneymaking scheme,” according to the year-long congressional investigation led by Rep. James Comer, who claims he found nearly $30 million funneled into the first family’s accounts.

Who is praying on the wall?

In his new book, Comer (R-Ky.) details how Biden’s son Hunter and brother Jim peddled the “Biden Brand” to foreign governments and entrepreneurs in order to rake in cash.

“I can honestly say that I do not know of one single legitimate business that the Bidens owned or operated,” Comer writes in “All the President’s Money: Investigating the Secret Foreign Schemes that Made the Biden Family Rich,” out Jan. 14.

The book also details the many suspicious roadblocks Comer’s Committee on Oversight and Government Accountability hit along the way. …

Comer, the committee’s chairman, likened DC journalists to “public relations flacks and ad-men for the Democratic Party.”

He accuses bureaucrats at the IRS and FBI, among others, of “slow-walking investigations” and leaking “false narratives” of his findings to the media.

Comer requested more than 200 documents from the administration during the first two years of Biden’s presidency, and “did not receive a single response,” he writes.

When he tried to access the Biden family’s banking records at the beginning of his probe, he was reduced to begging the Department of the Treasury to hand them over.

Initial research showed there were dozens of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) filed by at least six banks that dealt with first son Hunter’s transactions. …

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen delayed Comer’s request to view the SARs for two months, he claims in the book. …

[Comer and his staff] found 170 SARs regarding Hunter Biden — 20 more than previously known from the six different banks — as well as previously unknown accounts and 20 shell companies, all controlled by Hunter. …

An analysis of the Biden banking records, along with testimony from Hunter business associates before the committee, showed millions coming in from Chinese, Ukrainian, Romanian and Kazakh sources, according to Comer’s book.

Jim and Hunter were supposedly being paid by foreign companies to find them business leads and customers. However, there were no products sold or investment advice being dispensed, Comer said, adding that the shell companies were simply taking in cash for access.

From May 2014 to April 2019, Hunter was paid in excess of $5 million by Burisma Energy Company in Ukraine for “occupying a fanciful board position,” Comer writes, adding that Hunter knew almost nothing about the energy sector and his primary worth was his proximity to the “Biden Brand.” …

Hunter Biden’s lack of expertise in the energy sector did not prevent him from demanding cash from Chinese Energy Company Ltd (CEFC), an energy and finance company. …

The Bidens began working with the conglomerate when Joe Biden was vice president, according to Comer’s book.

Comer was able to trace the bounty shared by the Biden family resulting from a July 30, 2017, WhatsApp call from Hunter Biden to CEFC associate Raymond Zhao. In that call, he demanded a $10 million payment, claiming that his father was sitting next to him.

As shown in The Post’s graphic, on August 8, Northern International Capital, a company affiliated with CEFC, sent $5 million to Hudson West III, a joint venture set up by Hunter and Gongwen Dong, another CEFC associate.

That same day, Hudson West III sent $400,000 to Owasco PC, a company controlled by Hunter Biden.

Six days after that, on August 14, Owasco sent $150,000 to Lion Hall Group, which was controlled by Jim Biden and his wife, Sara Biden.

On August 28, Sara withdrew $50,000 in cash from Lion Hall Group, and deposited the cash in a joint account that she has with her husband, Jim Biden. On September 3, Sara wrote a check to Joe for $40,000 with “loan repayment” in the memo field.

Although Comer said he knew he had a “smoking gun” when he found the check, which he claims showed money laundering, most of the mainstream press was unimpressed …

Despite the difficulties of investigating the assets of the first family, Comer and his team of researchers were determined to reveal what he calls “the biggest corruption scandal of my lifetime.”

His work has led to “a historic lack of confidence in our nation’s federal law enforcement agencies” and likely led to the routing of the Democrats at the November polls, he writes.

In the end, Comer credits his investigation with giving American voters “an opportunity to decide for themselves … what the appropriate form of accountability could be for Joe Biden and his allies.”
