Byron Donalds: “I thank the gentleman from Utah, our new vice chairman, and congratulate him, as well. Mr. Speaker, President Biden…”

“I thank the gentleman from Utah, our new vice chairman, and congratulate him, as well. Mr. Speaker, President Biden consistently has stated that he never discussed business with Hunter Biden's associates. This is a lie. Let me repeat that for my colleagues across the aisle. It is a lie. Throughout our extensive investigation and from the lips of credible witnesses, it is abundantly clear that the Biden family business is Joe Biden. Let me emphasize, there is no Biden family business except for Joe Biden's 40-plus-year career in Washington, D.C. That has been the family business. As a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, we have followed the paper trail and we have conducted our investigation by the book. We have discovered damming evidence and we continue to do so every day. Our investigation has led to some alarming and eye-opening findings, which point to the President's knowledge and involvement in illegal business transactions. For example, in 2018, James Biden, the President's brother, received $600,000 in a loan from Americore, a financially distressed and failing rural hospital operator. Bankruptcy court documents suggest that James Biden received these loans based upon representations that his last name, Biden, could open doors in the Middle East based on his political connections. We all know James Biden doesn't have political connections, Joe Biden, his brother, has political connections.…”
