Over $17MILLION has been funneled from foreign sources to the Biden family, confirms IRS whistleblower

Whistleblower X — exposed as the lead IRS investigator of the Hunter Biden probe Joseph Ziegler — confirmed that the Biden family has accepted more than $17 million in foreign payments, more than half of which will go to Hunter Biden.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., asked Ziegler at Wednesday’s hearing to confirm the total amount of the Biden family’s foreign income.

“This brings the total amount of foreign revenue streams received to about $17 million, correct?” Comer asked.

“That’s right,” the whistleblower replied.

“The purpose of documenting the foreign sources is part of a normal international tax investigation,” Ziegler added. “We need to find out where the money is coming from.”

Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings LLC paid Hunter and his associates $6.5 million, but their total came to $7.3 million when payments from a public relations firm and law firm were taken into account.

Ziegler and IRS supervisor Gary Shapley testified before the House Oversight Committee that their investigation “supported misdemeanor and felony tax charges,” which were ultimately not filed against the president’s son, Hunter, due to political pressure.

Ziegler, a 13-year veteran of the IRS who was the lead attorney in the Hunter investigation, claimed the federal tax investigation into the president’s son had “supported misdemeanor and misdemeanor tax charges” — rather than just the misdemeanor tax charges that Hunter is scheduled to plead guilty next week as part of a deal that will allow him to avoid prosecution on a separate gun charge.

The officers said under oath that U.S. Attorney David Weiss, the lead prosecutor for Hunter Biden, Washington, D.C., had asked U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves to file those charges. But after Graves refused, Weiss threw out the possible felony charges and entered a plea deal with the president’s son.

“I watched US Attorney [David] Weiss told a roomful of senior leaders from the FBI and IRS on Oct. 7, 2022, that he was not the deciding factor in whether or not to press charges,” Shapley said, contradicting Weiss’ previous public statements.

“If Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss followed DOJ policy, as he stated in his most recent letter, Hunter Biden should have been charged with a tax crime, not just the tax misdemeanor charge,” Ziegler said. “We must treat every taxpayer equally under the law.”

Members of the Biden family may have accepted more than $40 million from foreigners in exchange for making favorable policy decisions, Comer previously claimed.

The countries giving the money are China, Romania and Ukraine.

“This was organized crime — there’s no other way to define it,” Kentucky Republican James Comer claimed in an interview last month.

He said the committee had identified “six specific policy decisions” where President Joe Biden acted and where the committee “cannot come to a conclusion” other than that the president was “compromised.”

At the time, Comer said he was confident his investigation would find evidence of “at least $17 million” in foreign payments, but would not be surprised if “transactions exceed $40 million.”

The chairman of the oversight committee also said his panel obtained further bank statements and reports of suspicious activity from the Treasury Department that showed “more bank accounts, more shell companies and more Bidens involved in an alleged policy pedal.”

The commission is expected to release those bank statements in the coming weeks.
