President Joe Biden likely used his time as vice president to set up himself and his family members finically, House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., said.

Biden did this, not anticipating that he would eventually become president, Comer said to the Washington Times.

According to Comer, then-vice-president Biden was fo used to setting up family members as highly paid business consultants overseas.

“Everywhere where there are odd payments, the president spent time toward the end of his vice presidency,” Comer told the Times.

Under then-President Obama, Biden went to China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, and other countries, including Mexico. These are all places where Hunter Biden and Joe Biden’s brother James pursued profitable business deals.

“He [the then-vice president] was setting it up for them to be consultants, which are essentially foreign agents, for some of these countries,” Comer told the Times. 

“It would look bad for the vice president to do that. I think he was trying to set it up for his son and brother.”

Newsmax reported:

Comer, who has examined thousands of bank records, said payments of such foreign deals ended up in the bank accounts of nine Biden family members. Comer said the committee was pursuing more records from as many as eight banks that he thinks will expose additional Biden family businesses, and deals in other foreign countries.

“I think there are more companies, more banks and more Bidens involved in the foreign business deals,” Comer told the Times.

Comer last week said it was “more than likely” his panel will issue subpoenas for Biden family members in its investigation of their alleged business connections with foreign nationals.

The Times reported that Comer will seek financial records that Hunter Biden has been ordered to produce in an Arkansas court case involving his child support payments to an out-of-wedlock 4-year-old daughter whom he refuses to acknowledge.

Comer said the documents could show whether Hunter Biden has money stored in offshore bank accounts.

The Washington Free Beacon reported earlier this week that Hunter Biden met with a State Department official in March 2016 on behalf of Romanian real estate tycoon Gabriel Popoviciu. Popoviciu paid Biden more than $1 million to help him deal with his corruption case.

The Free Beacon reported:

It’s not the first time that Hunter Biden and Boies Schiller, led by Democratic mega-donor David Boies, contacted the State Department on behalf of foreign clients without registering as lobbyists.

The Free Beacon reported that Biden and lawyers from Boies Schiller hatched a plan in 2014 to meet with State Department officials on behalf of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian gas company whose owner was accused of bribery. A Boies Schiller partner wrote to Biden that she would arrange State Department meetings and conduct other activity “right up to the line” where the firm would have to register as a lobbyist.

A consulting firm that Biden tapped to work with him on the Burisma case, Blue Star Strategies, registered its work for the Ukrainian company under the Foreign Agents Registration Act following a Justice Department investigation into its foreign lobbying.
