“Shocking” new evidence leaves “no doubt” that the Biden family was targeted by Chinese intelligence operatives, former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said.
Hunter Biden and Joe Biden
The evidence Whitaker was referring to, obtained by Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, includes more than 200 pages of bank records related to Hunter Biden and the Biden family’s alleged “connections to the Chinese regime and persons connected to its military and intelligence elements.”
“It’s very damaging. If you think about how you build an investigation, you build it brick by brick. And this revelation that somebody that close to the family, that worked every day with Hunter Biden, had access to most of the information or the various companies, I think is a significant step,” Whitaker told “Fox & Friends” on Thursday.
“There is no doubt that Hunter Biden was part of a Chinese intelligence mission that was trying to gather as much information as possible about Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and the entire Biden family. And what Ron Johnson and my home state Senator Chuck Grassley have found and now provided to the U.S. attorney in Delaware is just shocking, how much money was being given to the Biden family,” Whitaker said.
The more than 200 pages of records detailing Hunter Biden’s business dealings come from Cathay Bank, the oldest operating bank in the U.S. founded by Chinese Americans.
