House Oversight Committee subpoenas financial records for Hunter Biden business associate

A spokesperson for the Comer-led House Oversight Committee told the Washington Examiner, "The Oversight Committee has subpoenaed and obtained financial records related to the Biden family’s influence peddling. These documents solidify our understanding of several areas of concern and have opened new avenues of investigation about the Biden family’s business schemes."

The revelation of the subpoena came via a letter sent from Representative Jamie Raskin to Comer noting that the chairman subpoenaed "all financial records" from three people, with Walker the only one named, from the present going back to January 20, 2009.

Comer had previously said, "by 2017, Biden family members and their associates, including John R. Walker, formed a joint venture with CEFC China executives" and was investigating Hunter Biden's dealings with Chinese businessmen.

According to Raskin, Comer's subpoena "compelled the production of and obtained thousands of pages of Mr. Walker’s private financial information" and said, "these documents go well beyond any business deal with Hunter Biden or CEFC."

CEFC is a multibillion-dollar Chinese energy conglomerate and Zang Jianjun, the CEFC executive director, is closely linked to president Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party.

CEFC was founded by business tycoon Ye Jianming, who has since vanished.

Tony Bobulinksi, Hunter Biden's former business partner turned whistleblower, has shared multiple documents that implicate Joe Biden and his son to corruption connected with influence peddling and profiteering. In an email from May 13, 2017, Walker, along with Bobulinski and Hunter and James Biden, received an email from a different Hunter Biden business associate, James Gilliar, that made a reference to "the big guy."

Bobulinski has said "the big guy" is Joe Biden.

According to the Washington Examiner, "Hunter Biden and his associated businesses received at least $5 million in payments from CEFC in 2017 and 2018, and CEFC deputy Patrick Ho also agreed to pay Hunter Biden a $1 million retainer."
