Worst President since the Civil War, probably the worst ever.
And the head of a syndicate that sold his offices over his 50 years of lies in DC.
Good riddance.
President Biden committed impeachable offenses by helping his family bank millions of dollars from lucrative foreign and domestic business deals and then conspired to hide the evidence and obstruct an investigation by Congress, House lawmakers concluded in a report.
Three House committees released their findings on Monday after a nearly yearlong investigation of the president. Lawmakers made the report public just hours before Mr. Biden was to be feted at the Democratic National Convention. He will hand off leadership of the Democratic Party to Vice President Kamala Harris, who replaced him as the nominee for president.
Despite its findings, the Republican-led House is unlikely to vote to impeach Mr. Biden, who is not running for a second term.
The report, issued by the Oversight and Accountability, Judiciary, and Ways and Means committees, casts a shadow over Mr. Biden as he serves out the remainder of his term.
The 291-page report outlines evidence from more than a dozen witnesses and thousands of banking records and other documents. Combined, they show that Mr. Biden, dubbed the “big guy,” engaged in a pattern of swooping in to help his family, particularly his son Hunter Biden, score profitable business deals with Ukraine, Russia, China and other countries dating back to his time as vice president.
Sometimes, it was a phone call to a gathering of potential business associates arranged by his son. Other times, Mr. Biden popped in at a meeting.
By sitting down just long enough to exchange pleasantries or phoning in to talk about the weather, Mr. Biden helped secure millions of dollars in profits that fanned out across his family, the report said.
According to bank records cited in the report, foreign business partners paid $18 million to the Biden family from 2014 through 2023. The funds were traced to bank accounts of Hunter Biden, Mr. Biden’s younger brother James Biden, James Biden’s wife, Sara Biden, Mr. Biden’s daughters-in-law, Hallie Biden and Melissa Cohen Biden, as well as the president’s nieces and grandchildren.
Bank records show that Mr. Biden also took in some of the profits in the form of two checks provided by his brother in 2018 labeled loan repayments totaling $240,000.
James Biden sent the money to his brother after receiving a big payment from executives at an American hospital venture. He had promised them “access to a future Biden administration and the highest levels of government.”
