and they say they have the bank records to prove it. it is thousands of pages. comer says he and his investigators are following the money. there is a lot of money and thus far we ve only presented $1.3 million. as if that wasn t enough, that went to 3 or 4 biden family members. after this press conference that number will be significantly higher. question arises what were these family members doing to receive this money? dana: andy mccarthy, john deconvenience and jason chaffetz are standing by. let s go to david spunt at the justice department to. comer called today judgment day, says it will be a bad day for the white house. we ll see what he has to say in a moment. i may be cut off depending what time this begins. the team released an embargoed memo. 36 pages which lays out house republicans case that alleges the biden family & associates created more than 20 companies and made more than $10 million from those companies with foreign ties. there is a recurring theme.
we re trying to be transparent and leading a credible investigation as miss mace said. i think that from a historical standpoint we have never seen a presidential family receive these sums of money from adversaries around the world. we re just talking about a couple of countries today. if you look at the countries that this family was influence peddling in china is probably the most reputable country on the list if that says anything. i think we re making a lot of progress in less than 100 days. one difference between us and the work the senate did we have subpoena power and we got the bank records and we ll get more bank records and have more whistleblowers come forward. last thing i will say to answer your question. i mentioned whistleblowers and jamie raskin said there were none. two have come forward now, one with the i.r.s. and one with the d.o.j. it sounds like you are trying
grant administration, you just said you are in the beginning stages of this. but i wonder if you or perhaps one of your colleagues can put this into an historical context. yeah. look, i think we ve already provided, despite a few articles saying this committee first i hate to be critical of the media, but a lot of you honestly deserve it. but with respect they say this began in november. we had a press conference here and at that time i think associated press and other outlets were saying the laptop was russian disinformation still at that point saying it was conspiracy theories and none of the money ever happened while joe biden was vice president. we have dismissed all of that. we have evidence that something again. i don t think a lot of you are used to with respect to congressional investigations. we have evidence. you look at the congressional scandals of the past. you look at watergate.
payments this way. it makes no sense. the structure is the same as the chinese payments. if it is for legal fees why are the deals the same? in fact, it s hard to come up with any legitimate business reason to conduct transactions in this type of complex way. why would a separate payments go to hunter biden s business and himself individually and why would walker transfer money from his business to personal account before distributing the money? why are other biden family receiving any payments? we need to understand more than about the $3 million deal. it s clear the pattern shows two separate foreign countries paid millions of dollars through walker which the biden family received a 1/3 cut. these payments, their timing, complexity of the money transactions all warrant further investigation into a possible influencing peddling scheme. this is simply not how legitimate business is conducted. the fact that vice president joe biden was lecturing the romanian people about corruption whil
verified by the washington post. things didn t go as planned because the chinese detained yi in march of 2018 for fraud. in an email to gong and another associate hunter tried to explain away the last year of doing business together. this is in the email that has been verified. he wrote and i quote. i am not in a joint venture with cefc or partners with them and i m not employed nor funded by cefc, close quote. hunter was funded by cefc as mismace will explain. i m extremely concerned about the president s connection to these individuals. he was supposedly meant to share office space with and denied knowing anything about these transactions and these business dealings and also has denied receiving any money for himself or his family from chinese connections. that has been proven to be a lie. i will yield back, mr. chairman, thank you. next one up miss mace.
