Trump Harris ‘knew everything’ about Biden’s foreign dealings Former President Donald Trump made explosive allegations on Monday, claiming that Vice President Kamala Harris was aware of extensive foreign financial dealings involving the Biden family during Joe Biden’s vice presidency. Speaking at a manufacturing plant in York, Pennsylvania, Trump addressed a recent report by House Republicans accusing President Biden of serious misconduct.
The House Republicans’ report, released earlier that day, alleges that Biden, 81, committed two impeachable offenses: “abuse of power” and “obstruction of justice or obstruction of Congress.” According to the report, Biden is implicated in a $27 million “influence-peddling racket” that allegedly dates back to his time as vice president. This investigation suggests that Biden played a role in facilitating and concealing his family’s foreign business dealings.
Trump, 78, seized on the report to launch a broader attack on the Biden administration. He suggested that Harris, 59, who was a U.S. senator from California before becoming vice president, had complete knowledge of the Biden family’s financial activities. “Remember, comrade Kamala, she knew everything, and the senators knew what was going on,” Trump charged. He further alleged, “There is no way someone could have stolen that much money without Democrat senators knowing what was going on.”
The former president’s comments included a broad assertion that Democratic senators were aware of Hunter Biden’s business dealings. Trump claimed that Hunter Biden, the president’s son, “wined and dined” Democratic senators at Joe Biden’s homes, where they observed his luxurious lifestyle. He asserted that these senators saw the Biden family’s opulent properties and were therefore complicit in the alleged corruption.
In his remarks, Trump pointed to emails from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, which show that Democratic Senator Chris Coons of Delaware met with Hunter and one of his business associates in June 2010, before Coons was elected to the Senate. Trump used this as a basis to claim that Democratic senators were not only aware of but were potentially involved in Biden’s foreign business dealings.
Trump also boasted about his own business ethics, saying, “I would have made billions of dollars in this job if I wanted to play that way.” He insisted, “I don’t need the money … I lost billions of dollars [being president].” This statement was intended to contrast his own financial decisions with the alleged corrupt activities of the Bidens.
The investigation by House Republicans was launched last September in response to allegations from IRS investigators who claimed there was a cover-up by the Justice Department regarding the Biden family’s business activities. The report claims that Biden helped facilitate these ventures and obstructed congressional oversight into the matter.
Despite the seriousness of these allegations, Biden, who recently announced his impending retirement amid concerns over his mental acuity, is not expected to face an impeachment vote in the House at this time. The Harris campaign has not yet responded to the allegations or the request for comment.
In summary, Trump’s remarks and the Republican report reflect ongoing tensions and investigations into the Biden administration’s handling of foreign business dealings and alleged corruption.
