Comer (R-Ky.) wrote to Biden that evidence shows that he has “been repeatedly untruthful” by claiming he had no interactions with his son Hunter and brother James’ overseas patrons during and immediately after his vice presidency.
Biden, 81, has repeatedly denied any role in his relatives’ dealings — saying this month that “I did not interact with their partners” — despite evidence that he did meet with associates from two Chinese government-backed ventures and their contacts from Kazakhstan, Mexico, Russia and Ukraine.
Hunter Biden contradicted his father’s denials by confirming several interactions during his own Feb. 28 testimony before the impeachment inquiry.
Joe Biden, while vice president, dined at Washington’s Café Milano restaurant in 2014 and 2015 with his son’s Kazakhstani, Russian and Ukrainian partners, Hunter Biden confirmed.
Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive at Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, which paid Hunter a $1 million annual salary beginning in 2014 as his father spearheaded US policy toward Kyiv, attended the 2015 dinner.
