The House recently passed an official inquiry motion into the controversy stirred up by the investigations into Hunter Biden. This move was taken in response to advice from the White House counsel. Hunter Biden, son of current United States President Joe Biden, is implicated in a potential tax evasion scheme linked to $24 million. Despite claims to the contrary, there appears to be a link between the president's personal affairs and the shell corporations run by Hunter Biden.
President Biden has previously asserted a 'firewall' between his office and Hunter Biden's business activities. However, certain revelations from an indictment levied against Hunter Biden for tax evasion suggest meaningfully strong ties between the two. Texts and emails from a pseudonym use by then-vice president Joe Biden were traced to an accountant and business manager for Hunter Biden's shell corporations. The Department of Justice in California has deemed this information of high importance, sparking questions that the Biden administration continues to dodge.
Previously, the Obama administration had voiced concerns about Hunter Biden accompanying his then-vice president father on trips to China and Ukraine. During these trips, he was suspected of seeking business deals, a claim that gained traction following the filing of over 150 suspicious activity reports by banks. These reports pointed toward questionable transactions going into numerous shell companies, a scheme that Hunter Biden seems heavily involved in. In response to a congressional subpoena, Hunter Biden refused to appear and instead made his own press statement denying all allegations.
Despite President Biden's refusal to discuss details regarding these allegations, it is evident that the controversy is surfacing. As more questions arise, the need for transparency is paramount. The pressure mounts on Congress to fulfill their constitutional responsibility and carry out an unbiased investigation. This investigation is viewed as the key to revealing the truth behind the questionable transactions, the link between the president and the shell corporations, and the suspicious activity between the two Bidens. The prosecution lies in wait for more proof of the allegations, and the public waits for the truth.
