Evidence including sworn impeachment inquiry testimony, confirmed emails and financial records increasingly show that President Joe Biden’s meetings with his son’s foreign clients were closely followed by payments and agreements that advanced his family’s business deals.

House Republicans on Thursday subpoenaed new financial records belonging to Hunter Biden, his associates, and companies in a growing effort to find evidence that Joe Biden benefited personally from his son’s foreign dealings.

Rep. Greg Steube agreed on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show on Thursday that Joe Biden played a “rainmaker” role in Hunter Biden’s business ventures.

“We’ve known that all along and now we’re getting corroborating witness testimony,” Steube said. “Thankfully, for the subpoenas that have been issued to the financial institutions, we now have financial evidence of the money that was laundered from the Chinese Communist Party or Russian oligarchs, or the Ukrainian government and entities through the Biden family members, his brother, James Biden, and Hunter Biden.”

The White House did not respond to a request for comment from Just the News.

Joe Biden has long denied any involvement in his son’s foreign business dealings, repeatedly and publicly. “I never talked business with anybody,” Biden told Fox News in August 2023. “I knew you would have a lousy question,” he added. The Washington Post published a clip reel of Biden making similar claims over and over.

In testimony earlier this week, former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski challenged the President’s repeated denials, claiming that he met with Joe Biden multiple times and discussed business in those meetings.

In fact, a review of several key deals Hunter Biden organized with his foreign clients show that a meeting with his father, both while he was Vice President and shortly after he left office as well, was often a crucial event in the days or months surrounding key payments or agreements, raising further questions about Joe Biden’s role in his family’s business dealings.
