Hunter Biden’s Business Associate Testifies Before Congress: Unaware of President Biden’s Role in Family Business
3 min read
The recent testimony of Hunter Biden’s business associate, Mervyn Yan, before the House Oversight and Judiciary committees has sparked renewed interest in the ongoing investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings in China. Yan, who has interacted with Hunter Biden and James Biden, testified that he is “unaware of any involvement President Biden may have had with his son’s business pursuits.”
Despite this, House Republicans have raised questions about the nature of the Biden family’s business dealings in China, with a source close to the investigation stating that Yan “never met, spoke to, did business with or had any personal or professional communication with President Biden.” The source also noted that Yan does not possess any materials or information bearing on President Biden’s alleged involvement in his family’s business dealings.
The top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, ranking member Jamie Raskin, dismissed the Republicans’ claims, stating that Yan testified that he “never once did business with or had any personal or professional communication with President Biden.” However, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer plans to release the transcript of Yan’s interview, as he believes it raises many questions about the Bidens’ dealings with the Chinese government-linked energy firm, State Energy HK Limited.
Another Biden family associate, Rob Walker, is expected to testify before the committee on Friday. Walker, who received a payment of $3 million from State Energy HK Limited, is believed to have information related to whether President Biden took any official action or effected any change in government policy because of money or other things of value provided to himself or his family.
The investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings in China comes as Hunter Biden is scheduled to appear for a deposition as part of the impeachment inquiry against his father. Hunter Biden defied his subpoena to appear for a deposition on Dec. 13 and was at risk of being held in contempt of Congress. His attorneys and the committees came to an agreement last week that he will appear for a closed-door deposition on Feb. 28.
The ongoing investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings in China has raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the appearance of impropriety. While President Biden has denied any wrongdoing, the mounting evidence and testimony from witnesses continue to fuel speculation and calls for transparency.
As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen what new information will come to light and how it will impact the Biden administration. One thing is certain, however, the public will be closely watching the developments and the testimony of key witnesses as the investigation unfolds.
In conclusion, the testimony of Hunter Biden’s business associate, Mervyn Yan, before the House Oversight and Judiciary committees has raised many questions about the nature of the Biden family’s business dealings in China. While Yan testified that he is “unaware of any involvement President Biden may have had with his son’s business pursuits,” House Republicans believe that his testimony raises many questions about the Bidens’ dealings with the Chinese government-linked energy firm, State Energy HK Limited. The investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings in China continues, with another Biden family associate, Rob Walker, expected to testify before the committee on Friday. The public will be closely watching the developments and the testimony of key witnesses as the investigation unfolds.
