"The Senate Finance and Homeland Security Committees named Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden and the former vice president's brother James and James' wife Sara.
"Hunter Biden has extensive connections to Chinese businesses and Chinese foreign nationals that are linked to the Communist government. Those contacts bore financial fruit when his father was vice president and after he left office"
The new report warns that the "connections and the vast amount of money transferred among and between them don't just raise conflicts of interest concerns, they raise criminal financial, counterintelligence and extortion concerns."
... The new Senate report says that among the Communist Party-tied nationals with whom Hunter Biden did business was Ye Jianming, founder of CEFC China Energy. Ye was affiliated with the People's Liberation Army, the report said.
The deal with China Energy came into focus in October with the revelation that an abandoned laptop belong to Hunter Biden with related emails and texts had been turned over to the FBI.
An email indicated Joe Biden himself was to receive a share of the profits from the China Energy deal, and a former business partner, Tony Bobulinski, declared in October the former vice president clearly was in charge of the Biden family business enterprise.
... The new Senate report focused on Hunter Biden's lucrative position on the board of the corrupt natural gas firm Burisma while his father was overseeing Ukraine policy and the U.S. State Department's anti-corruption agenda.
Joe Biden boasted during a panel at a Council on Foreign Relations meeting that he threatened to withhold U.S. aide if Ukraine's president didn't fire the country's top prosecutor, who was investigating Burisma at the time.
... The new report found:
• Vice President Joe Biden's office and the State Department were aware of but ignored concerns relating to Hunter Biden's role on Burisma's board.
• Secretary of State John Kerry falsely claimed he had no knowledge of Hunter Biden's role on Burisma's board.
• State Department officials viewed Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky as a corrupt "odious oligarch," but Vice President Biden was advised not to accuse Zlochevsky of corruption.
• While Hunter Biden served on Burisma's board, Zlochevsky allegedly paid a $7 million bribed to Ukraine's prosecutor general office to close the case.
• Hunter Biden was a Secret Service protectee while on Burisma's board.
• Obama administration officials and a Democratic lobbying firm had consistent and significant contact with former Ukrainian official Adrii Telizhenko
• Democrats falsely accused the Republican committee chairmen, Sens. Ron Johnson and Charles Grassley, of engaging in a Russian disinformation campaign and used other tactics to interfere in the investigation."
