We are looking into trenton, continuing to lie about the Oversight Committee. They uncovered bank wires. They were feeling how President Joe Biden, received millions from chinese company, with significant ties to chinese intelligence, and the Chinese Communist party. This originated in beijing from chinese nationals. This happened when President Joe Biden, was running for president of United States. His home is listed as the beneficiary address. Today, the Oversight Committee created 20 Shell Companies. They were created when President Joe Biden was Vice President. This was between 2014 and 2019. We have identified nine family members who have participated in, or benefited from these shady business schemes. What was President Joe Biden selling to make all this money . President joe biden, is the brand. He showed up with business targets and associates, sending signals of access, influence, and power, to those willing to pay for it. The American People demand accountability for this cultural production. They demand to know how these schemes have compromised President Joe Biden, and have threatened our National Security. They demand safeguards to be put in place to prevent Public Officials from selling access to the Public Office for private gain. Under the leadership of speaker, Kevin Mccarthy, they have opened an impeachment inquiry. We are now focused on whether he engaged in offenses. It empowers congress, elected by the people. They are continuing to provide the answers, transparency, and accountability that the American People demand and deserve. In recent history, democrats inflicted much damage on the credibility by impending the russian collusion hopes. At this committee under this majority, will not pursue witchhunts based on manufactured allegations, innuendo, and no real evidence. Today, the Oversight Committee will examine over two dozen pieces of evidence, revealing President Joe Bidens corruption and abuse of Public Office. This includes emails, Text Messages, bank records, and testimony of President Joe Bidens Business Associates. We will hear from legal and Financial Experts about this evidence, and crime that may have been committed as President Joe Biden, was sold around the world. The house Oversight Committee, will continue to follow the money. They have the evidence to provide accountability so that americans know that their Public Offices are not for sale. I yield you to the chairman of the house for his Opening Statement. Thank you, chairman. Yesterday, they released new documents, showing President Joe Biden was not just aware of his business dealings, but he was connected to them. In a newly released message to a Chinese Business executive, hunter biden, was looking at the keys to my families only asset. That asset, President Joe Biden. New evidence released in response to questions raised by members of the committee, on both sides when they were looking at the two iris whistleblowers, testified in july with these disturbing pictures of a revolving door between President Joe Bidens office, and Hunter BidensBusiness Partners. According to a worksheet provided by the irs whistleblower, and then President Joe Biden 2014 official visit to ukraine, was only after a series of white house meetings. Hunter biden, and his Business Associates, regarding ukraine. Shortly after President Joe Biden returned stateside, the Ukrainian Company , announced Hunter Bidens appointment, to its board. New evidence provided, shows hunter biden, using his fathers position to gain favor with a billionaire. This includes having President Joe Biden host them at the white house in february of 2014. This is that the Vice President s residence, alongside another mexican billionaire in november of 2015. In 2016, using air force two to shutter hunter biden, and his Business Associates to mexico city. Whether it was lunches, phone calls, white house meetings, or official foreign trips, hunter biden, cashed in, by arranging access to President Joe Biden, the family brand. President joe bidens family, and their associates, received millions in payments from foreign sources, including from russia, china, ukraine, romania, and in one email, hunter biden, even bragged that he cut a deal for 10 million from Just One Company for quote, introductions alone. They wanted to keep the spotlight as far as possible. We had another irs interview with james, the president s brother. In september of 2022, the agency was barred in the interview. We are asking whether President Joe Biden, was involved in Hunter Bidens deal with a Chinese Energy company. When hunter biden, had 2 million mysteriously paid for by a Democratic Party donor named kevin morris who he barely knew, this was something that irs saw as a campaign violation. A u. S. Attorney, leslie wolf, said she did not any of the agents to look behind the tions. The agent took from that ey told investigators that she was not quote onal interested in ng it. This is the sameatrney, in an eml reduced yesterday, responded to irs investigators, looking for a search warrant. There should be thinabout political figure one in here. That is a reference by definition of President Joe Biden. President joe biden family sold access to his power. This is a tale as old as time. They make money for his family. He tries to conceal it. Never forget the four fundamental facts. He gets paid a lot of money. He is not qualified to sit on the board. Not my words, his words. This is because of the brand, and because of the name. They were asking hunter biden to weigh in, and look at the pressure that they were under from the prosecutor in ukraine. December 9th, 2015. They told the fbi, is in a 1023 form. They didnt want to let this committee see. All of those facts were further confirmed yesterday. This was with the information that these committees released from the whistleblowers. We are feeling comfortable with Blue Star Strategies, and the ability to care and deliver. Hunter biden, put them in touch with these Blue Star Strategies. What were they going to deliver . This was the communication release yesterday as well. In the United States, the need to express the report. They were looking at the highest decisionmakers. This was the president of ukraine. This is part of the prosecutor general. That is what they were going to deliver. The interior administrator confirmed that they are no longer wanted. This was less than a year. We have two indications between the folks at blue star, who was Hunter BidensBusiness Partner. Graduations to you guys. That is the communication. That is what they got done. When this happens in october of 2016, when the pressure is taken off, and the case is dropped, they are dropping the charges. That is exactly what they want done. As the final step for President Joe Bidens Justice Department, sweeping it under the rug. All of that is coming in. They tried to put together the sweetheart deal, and get past the judge. We are learning yesterday. This is the search warrant. We are looking at electronic communications. They werent allowed to ask about political figure 1. They would have gotten away with it all. They had whistleblowers set in those seats two months ago. They told their story. They have a judge in delaware. That is why we are here today. That is why this inquiry is so darn important. These are the facts. In the chair now recognizes a Ranking Member. Eight before i give my Opening Statement, i have a parliamentary inquiry. Am i correct in assuming we are obligated to follow the rules of the house . They are engaging personalities towards the president. Considering this is the investigation of President Joe Biden, things have been going to come up. We are just operating with general rules. I think the president is considered in engaging in their personality. They had activations of the president. This is not part of the parliament. We are looking at the general of the house. It is not authorized because the speaker of the house is authorized. Clean it up. This is it. The required vote is part of the house. We have articles of impeachment. We are looking in the potential wrongdoings of the president. This is a unique subject matter of todays topic. Thank you for clarifying. We obviously have an honest disagreement about that. 60 hours away from shutting down the government of the United States of america. They are looking at the impeachment drive. This is long, and discredited. No foreign enemies have been able to shut down the government of the united dates. We dont want to cut it off. We have 1 million servicemembers. This is against President Joe Biden, for an Impeachable Offense. They are looking at the actions of the publicans. They are trying to function it. It is the clown show. They are terribly misguided. Theyre disgraceful. They are new lows. They are enabling germans. They dont have a plan. It shows us how broken they are. They want to burn the whole place down. They probably take my words down. These are republicans talking about republicans. Lets be clear, this isnt the partisan workfare. It is chaotic between republicans and republicans. This is versus the extreme. Does anyone in the world tell the difference between the two . What a staggering feeling. They have different elements of his conference. They are threatening the well being of every american. Some people think the members of the caucus arent interested in anything logical. They just want to see the world burn. This is how they put it in the dark knight. I see a method in the madness. Donald trump would cut off paychecks to a couple of servicemembers and federal workers. They paid them later for having not worked. They will be against millions of moms and kids. They have prosecutions on all of these misdemeanor charges. They would be defunded, and will keep him from going against a jury of his peers before the 24 election. Flying around for the wicked witch of the west, they have different messages. Standard impeachment is not whether they did it to us, but whether the president committed treason for these misdemeanors. A Freedom Caucus member told donald trump that he is on his social media account, and said we should be impeaching President Joe Biden. Yevgeny prigozhin nine, said we have an impeachment inquiry. This was the result of Donald Trumps pressure. We are moving from the shutdown to a donald trump ordered impeachment process. We are back in the reality based world. We are completely empty handed. We have no evidence of any president ial wrongdoing. No smoking gun. It was imperative and necessary when he was impeached. They might not take the Momentous Movement from legislative oversights. This is from a full house of such authorities. January 19, 2020. The house voted in the case of donald trump. They dont have the votes. Dozens of republicans recognized what a futile and absurd process this is. The title of the hearing is the basis for the impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden. Yet, they present is no basis at all today. This is even after eight months of investigations. They have invited three witnesses to testify. Not one of them is an eyewitness to a president ial climate. Not one of them is a direct stat, with any of the events related to karen, ukraine, and charisma. This is part of the eight months of investigation. The distinguished germans have publicly posted that he receive 100 of everything he asked for. I quote, every subpoena that i have signed a looking at the house Oversight Committee. This is 100 of what we have requested. It was all with the banks. They have the treasuries. We are the real witnesses here. The committee has received 12,000 pages of bank records. Here they are. Right in front of us. Not a single page it shows a dime showing the president , or President Joe Bidens son. We are receiving 2000 reports to the chairman subpoenas. We have everybody from these Business Partners, to a federal agent assigned to that investigation. Still, we found no evidence of wrongdoing. They were looking at a smoking gun. They were even working at a tripping water pistol. They would be presenting it today. Theyve got nothing on President Joe Biden. All they can do is return to the thoroughly demolished life that donald trump and Rudy Giuliani, launched five years ago. This is a fairytale so preposterous, that one of the main authors has now disowned and refuted it. They have the most western governments. The targeted ukraine and prosecutor generals. They are showcased for removal. Hunter bidens action was all drawn on this. This relied on President Joe Biden, saying that he got bribed. He would not give 1 billion to ukraine unless they got rid of the prosecutor. This is the opposite of the truth. He is a key player in the obama administration. They were trying to combat corruption in ukraine. They have a coordinated global effort. President joe biden, called for their removal. This was a corrupt general. This was other than them participating in it. Rather than assist british authorities who are actually investigating the owner. They consistently frustrated their efforts. The leadership efforts were brought in part by partisan campaigns. This was early 2016. The road to the ukrainian president. They have failing corruptions in the country. They were trying to press ahead with urgent reforms to the prosecutor generals office. This is part of 2018. Donald trump, saul President Joe Biden, has a strong rival. They were twisting it all around. The accused President Joe Biden of corruption, and calling for the dismissal of the corrupt prosecutor. A few months ago, the Committee Received the insiders account of the plan that was spreading these lies. Extraordinary letters were sent to us. They were Rudy Giulianis right hand man. They searched high and low to find anyone who looks at the contortions about President Joe Biden. This was culminated in the infamous phone call. They made that to the ukrainian president , volodymyr zelenskyy. They had hundreds of billions of dollars in strategic and military Security Assistance actions to ukraine. They were embracing the ridiculous fabrication, and falsely advertising to the world that ukraine was investigating President Joe Biden. The shakedown became the basis for the first house impeachment of donald trump. Rudy giulianis big lie, has been debunked by multiple sources. They are a former chief of the u. S. Criminal attorney defense actions in colorado. I quote, there is in fact no evidence that they were engaged in investigations. They were inspiring. They were not in any way connected. He continued what is missing, despite years of investigation. They connect President Joe Biden, to his never do well son , and his corruption. It is scandalous to use impeachment to establish a counterfeit mold equivalent between President Joe Biden, and an honorable Public Servant who was never indicted, or convicted of anything in his career more than 50 years in public life. They have recently been found in court for a sexually abused woman. T
