Bank records released Friday show Joe Biden received $200,000 from funds his brother Jim Biden siphoned from the failing health care company Americore. Beyond providing more proof that President Biden directly profited from the family influencing-selling business, this new evidence raises serious questions concerning whether Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys ignored Jim Biden’s involvement in the Americore scandal.
On Friday, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability released a copy of a $200,000 check Jim Biden wrote to Joe Biden on March 1, 2018 — the same day Americore wired $200,000 to Jim and his wife Sara’s personal bank account. As I detailed Monday at The Federalist, evidence indicates Jim Biden pushed the former CEO of Americore, Grant White, to lend him those funds, along with another $400,000, promising to repay the loans after he delivered tens of millions of dollars in foreign investments to Americore.
Not only did Jim never deliver, but Americore would later file for bankruptcy, with Jim Biden stiffing the health care provider until the bankruptcy trustee filed a complaint seeking to recover the loan balance. Jim Biden then agreed to settle his $600,000 debt to Americore for $350,000, meaning Joe Biden ended up with $200,000 cash that should have belonged to Americore’s creditors.
But just as Joe Biden’s involvement in Hunter Biden’s foreign influence-peddling is only half the scandal, the same applies here to the $200,000 transfer. Equally scandalous in both cases is the DOJ and FBI’s handling of investigations that might reach the White House.
