Like PJ Media reported Earlier this week, bank records cited show that Hunter Biden received wire transfers totaling $260,000 from Communist China in the late summer of 2019. What made these wire transfers particularly interesting was which listed Joe Biden’s residence in Delaware as the beneficiary address for the funds.
The payee address can be the address listed on the recipient’s account or the address provided by the person sending the wire. Electronic records do not clearly indicate who provided the address in question.
“Bank records don’t lie, but President Joe Biden does. In 2020, Joe Biden told Americans his family never received money from China,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) he said earlier this week. “We already proved that to be a lie earlier this year, and now we know that two cables originating in Beijing listed Joe Biden’s Wilmington home as the beneficiary address when he was running for president.”
This is where things get interesting. It is true that Hunter spent time living at his father’s home between 2017 and 2019. This makes it conceivable that he was living there at the time of the wire transfers, thus offering a simple explanation as to why Hunter Biden would have had the wires sent there: there it was where he lived at the time.
But it turns out Hunter wasn’t living there when the transfers were made.
How do we know? Well, for starters, Hunter Biden was married and living in California with his new wife at the time. He said in his 2021 memoir: beautiful thingsi indicates his proposed guilty plea I was also in California at the time:
After numerous programs and trips to rehab, [Hunter] Biden got sober in May 2019, the same month he married his current wife. He has remained sober since then. Biden stayed in California and spent much of the summer of 2019 painting and developing plans for his memoir, which he began working on throughout the fall and into the winter.
Once again, proponents of the narrative that “there is no evidence” that Joe Biden was involved in or benefited from Hunter Biden’s foreign businesses, which were based on his influence, will be hard-pressed to find an explanation for why Joe Biden would receive $260,000 from China when Hunter Biden was not living in his home.
