Two IRS agents revealed to a stunned U.S. House Ways and Means Committee hearing that despite Joe Biden's claims of never meeting with foreign businessmen involved in his son Hunter Biden's White House influence peddling operation, Joe Biden attended a luncheon with a Chinese businessman who was later indicted for bribery in two countries and called on Biden family members to help him beat the charges.
According to IRS agents Joseph Ziegler and Gary Shapley, a criminal investigation of Hunter Biden's influence peddling operation, later spiked by IRS officials, found Biden “attended a luncheon in Washington, D.C. with employees of a Chinese company that paid Hunter Biden for access to the Biden family,” the Committee reports.
The Committee also revealed that despite Joe Biden's claims to have never met Hunter's business partners, “evidence provided by the IRS whistleblowers to the Ways and Means Committee show multiple meals with Hunter Biden's business associates and White House meetings between those associates and Biden advisors.”
But perhaps the most troubling meeting with was Patrick Ho, an official at Communist Chinese energy company CEFC.
Ho's “primary, and documented, role at the company was to bribe world leaders to advance the company's interests,” the Committee reports. U.S. officials suspect Ho was a spy for Communist China.
It is unknown whether Biden's Secret Service detail or other officials warned Biden, a former vice president and chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he was meeting with someone suspected of espionage and bribery.
It seems unlikely Joe Biden would be unaware CEFC was seeking to bribe those with access to officials like Joe Biden.
The New York Post reported in December 2020 that documents from 2017 show Hunter Biden “reached a deal with [then-CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming] for half-ownership of a holding company that was expected to provide him with more than $10 million a year for making “introductions.”
In addition, in 2017 Ho gave Hunter Biden a $1 million payment for supposed legal services, which Hunter Biden never provided.
Ho was arrested in New York later that year for bribing officials Chad and Uganda, and convicted in 2018.
Amazingly, the Committee reports, “Ho's first call when he was arrested in New York in 2017 for attempted bribery of African officials was to James Biden, the President's brother.”
