Hunter Bidenthe business associate Rob Walker is expected to appear Friday morning for a transcribed, closed-door interview before the House Oversight and Judiciary committees to discuss his role as an alleged “vehicle” for the Biden family to receive foreign funds.
Walker is expected to appear at 10 a.m. at the Capitol after being subpoenaed by both House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan in November.
His testimony is part of the House impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
In informing his attorney of his subpoena, Comer and Jordan explained that Walker had established his limited liability company, Robinson Walker LLC. The presidents said it was “used as a means to receive foreign funds and send a percentage of the money to members of the Biden family.”
An example provided by Comer and Jordan is when Joe Biden was vice president, Robinson Walker LLC received millions of dollars from a company owned by Gabriel Popoviciu, a Romanian who was then the subject of a very serious corruption prosecution. publicized in his country of origin.
BIDEN FAMILY RECEIVED MORE THAN $1M FROM HUNTER ASSOCIATE AFTER 2017 CHINA WIRE: HOUSE SUPERVISION
“After receiving this money, Robinson Walker sent more than $1 million to the Biden family accounts, including those of Hunter Biden and Hallie Biden,” Comer and Jordan wrote.
But Comer and Jordan pointed out that these payments from Romania to Robinson Walker LLC began “approximately five weeks after then-Vice President Biden’s meeting with the president of Romania, where, according to the official statement, the issue corruption was discussed.”
Comer and Jordan also note that Robinson Walker LLC received a $3 million payment from State Energy HK Limited, a Chinese company, in February 2017, less than two months after Biden left the Obama administration. Comer and Jordan said that in the three months following that payment, Robinson Walker LLC made “additional payments totaling more than $1 million to members of the Biden family and their businesses, including Hallie Biden and the entities associated with Hunter Biden and James Biden.”
According to an FBI Form FD-302 detailing Walker’s 2021 interview with Special Counsel David Weiss’ team and obtained by the House Ways and Means Committee, Walker stated that “the amount of $3 million was more of a “thank you” from the CEFC.
Walker said “they talked about building a larger group and discussed acquiring office space.”
Fox News Digital reported in December 2020 that Hunter Biden, his CEFC associate Gongwen Dong, and Joe Biden had shared office space in Washington, DC, in September 2017.
6 ADDITIONAL BIDEN FAMILY MEMBERS “MAY HAVE BENEFITED” FROM BUSINESS WITH HUNTER
Comer and Jordan said evidence collected by congressional investigators reveals that President Biden “was at least aware of some of his family’s business ventures and sought to influence potential business deals that financially benefited his family.”
“Indeed, a Biden associate, Devon Archer, testified how the Biden ‘brand’ had been used to retain business and that Joe Biden had met with some of the foreign nationals who paid his family,” Comer and Jordan wrote at the Walker’s lawyer.
Comer and Jordan said Walker may be able to provide evidence relevant to the impeachment inquiry, saying Walker “played a key role in the Biden family’s business dealings and the chain of complex financial transactions that been used to hide foreign sources of funds received. by the Biden family. »
They said Walker could provide information on whether, among other things, Joe Biden, as vice president and/or president, “took any official action or effected a change in government policy as a result of the money or other valuables provided to himself or his family.” , including whether concerns that Chinese sources may disclose additional evidence about their business dealings with the Biden family have impacted official actions taken by President Biden or U.S. foreign policy; abused his position of public trust by giving foreign interests access to him and his office in exchange for payments to his family or himself; or abused his position of public trust by knowingly participating in a scheme to enrich himself or his family by giving foreign interests the impression that they would have access to him and his office in exchange for payments to his family or to him.
Meanwhile, a former business associate of Hunter Biden told Fox News Digital that Walker is a “good guy” but was just “stuck in the Biden House dumpster fire.”
Walker’s transcribed interview is set to take place a day after Hunter Biden’s business associate, Mervyn Yan, appears to testify and weeks before Hunter Biden appears for his deposition. Yan worked with Hunter on deals related to Chinese energy company CEFC.
Hunter Biden defied his subpoena for a deposition on Dec. 13 and faced being held in contempt of Congress.
His lawyers and the committees reached an agreement last week that the first son would appear for a closed-door deposition on February 28.
