The Hong Kong company that sent more than $3 million intended for Biden family associates in 2017 was apparently run by a member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) at the time of the transfer, an investigation has determined from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
In March 2017, one month after President Joe Biden’s term as Vice President of the Obama administration ended, State Energy HK Limited sent $3 million to Robinson Walker, LLC, run by “Biden family partner John Robinson Walker, revealed a memo from the House Oversight Committee. Thursday. However, the DCNF found that at the time of the $3 million transfer, the chairman and chief executive of State Energy HK Limited appears to have been Lei Donghui, who joined the CCP in July 2002, according to a Chinese government website.
Lei, who left State Energy HK Limited in February 2018, has a doctorate in management, according to government records in Foshan, Guangdong province, near Hong Kong. Lei now apparently serves as the “general manager” of Sanshui Development Company in Foshan, according to a DCNF translation of the company’s website, and is pictured below at a company meeting in March 2023.

Robinson Walker, LLC transferred these funds to Hallie Biden, James Brian Biden Sr. (James Biden), Robert Hunter Biden (Hunter Biden) and an “unknown bank account identified as ‘Biden,'” the committee memo states.
