A recent claim has emerged that a family member of Joe Biden allegedly swindled $600,000 from a company, a third of which was subsequently paid directly to the president. The witness, Carol Fox, a trustee for the now-defunct hospital operator Americore, made these allegations during an interview with the House Oversight Committee.
Fox’s claims center around James Biden, the president’s younger brother. According to her and a lawsuit previously filed by Americore, James Biden was given an advance loan of $600,000 for work he pledged to perform in connecting Middle Eastern investors with company executives. However, Fox stated that these meetings never transpired.
In her testimony, Fox alleged that James Biden asserted that his last name could ‘open doors’ and that he could procure a substantial investment from the Middle East based on his political connections. It’s claimed that this $600,000 payment began with a partial payment of $200,000 sent to the bank account of James Biden and his wife Sara on March 1st, 2018. On the same day, the couple transferred an equal sum to President Biden’s bank account, labeling the transfer as a ‘loan repayment.’
This revelation has raised questions about the nature of the financial relationship between the Biden brothers. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has publicly asked whether there are documents proving such a large sum was lent by the president to his brother and under what terms. Furthermore, Comer questioned if similar financial arrangements exist with other family members, leading them to make comparable large payments to the president.
Despite the categorization of the $200,000 as a ‘personal loan repayment,’ concerns have been raised about the ethical implications of such transactions. Comer pointed out that it’s troubling if Joe Biden’s ability to be repaid depended on the success of his family’s questionable financial dealings.
Fox also revealed that she was unaware that any of the proceeds from her company would be forwarded to President Biden. She had initially been satisfied with a $350,000 settlement as part of the lawsuit.
This allegation comes as House Republicans have issued a subpoena to James Biden, demanding an explanation for another $40,000 ‘loan repayment’ made to the president, which reportedly originated from overseas money earned by Hunter Biden and business associates while representing a company tied to the Chinese communist government.
This case adds another layer of intrigue to the ongoing scrutiny of the financial dealings of the Biden family. Whether these allegations will lead to further legal or political consequences remains to be seen. However, they certainly contribute to growing questions about the financial practices and ethical conduct of the Biden family.
