House Oversight Committee Republicans are seeking to bring in Hunter Biden associate John R. Walker for questioning after poring over years of his bank records and uncovering a $35,000 payment to Hallie Biden.
Committee chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) released a letter Thursday with new details about the $3 million payment Walker received from a Chinese company, after issuing a subpoena to Bank of America for its financial records.
Information provided by Comer indicates that Walker received a wire transfer of $3 million from Chinese State Energy HK Limited, an affiliate of CEFC China Energy, and then distributed $1.3 million to accounts associated with members of the Biden family.
Comer wrote to Walker that the panel was “investigating President Biden’s involvement in his family’s business practices” and “identified you as a critical witness in this case and reviewed evidence showing that you received millions of dollars from a Chinese energy company and elsewhere”.

The committee “invites you to participate in a transcribed interview with committee staff,” Comer wrote — in language that stops at an outright request but can be a prelude to a subpoena if a witness refuses to comply with.
Democrats railed against Comer’s public campaign Thursday, with the White House calling it an “attack” on Hallie Biden, the widow of the president’s late son, Beau Biden.
The White House has previously denied any involvement by President Biden in his family’s business practices.
The Republican-led oversight panel retaliated again on Friday, releasing footage of the financial dealings involving Robinson Walker LLC, a company set up by Hunter Biden’s associate.

Hallie Biden, seen here with Beau Biden, received $35,000 from Biden associate John Robinson Walker, according to Rep. James Comer. Comer, who as chairman of House Oversight subpoenaed banking information, claims Walker’s company got $3 million from a Chinese company in 2017
The White House hit back after Republicans subpoenaed bank records and released documents purporting to show Hallie Biden received a $3 million cash cut from China. Beau Biden’s widow was identified Thursday as the third member of the first family as part of Rep. James Comer’s investigation into allegations they used their name to profit from business deals.

The monitoring panel tweeted: ‘Hunter Biden did not “share” the funds as his lawyer claims. The leads came directly from Rob Walker’s company, Robinson Walker LLC, to various Biden relatives and companies, including Hallie Biden. Here are two leads to James and Hunter Biden’s companies.

Oversight also flagged payments to an “unknown” Biden who the panel said received additional payments totaling more than $1 million. Comer had also quoted this unidentified person after tossing a “third” Biden in Fox News interviews before Hallie Biden was unmasked as the recipient of the $35,000 – a much smaller sum than was paid to the others after the initial transfer.
The committee continues: “If Hunter Biden got funding, why use Robinson Walker LLC instead of his own companies to get the cable from the Chinese energy company?” Why use so many companies and structure payments over 3 months?’
A follow-up tweet said, “The Bidens went out of their way to hide their involvement in the deal because they knew the source of the funds was shady.”

The White House and House Democrats have touted the investigation as a cruel investigation and pointed out that Walker’s $3 million was already known.
“After a disgusting attack lamenting that the President’s deceased son, Beau, was never prosecuted while alive, Congressman Comer has now decided to prosecute Beau’s widow,” the House spokesperson said. Blanche, Ian Sams, to DailyMail.com in a statement this week.
“Instead of bizarrely attacking the President’s family, perhaps House Republicans should focus on working with the President to get results for American families on important priorities like cutting costs and strengthening health care,” he continued.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat in the watchdog group, also lambasted Comer.
“President Comer’s memo proved once again that after four years of investigations by Senate and House Republicans into Hunter Biden, they have found no connection to the President of the United States or even with no government official,” Raskin said in a statement.
A spokesperson for Oversight Democrats accused Comer of giving the false ‘impression’ that Hallie Biden was involved in getting money from China by failing to note another transaction, although without providing information on the purpose of the payments.
“After issuing an overbroad and invasive subpoena for 14 years of financial records, Chairman Comer has released a memo based on speculation and a handful of selected facts to spur new interest in a previously reported transaction,” he said. said the Democratic spokesperson. .
