And this is one of the shell companies which was receiving money from China.
Jake Tapper will be all over this story, I just know it!!!!
Not only that, this wasn't just a one-time payment. You know -- a "loan repayment."
Hunter set up his account to make a monthly payoff to the Big Guy. You know -- how companies set up direct deposit with employees to pay their salaries for working there.
But nah, I'm sure this was just a string of "loan repayments."
Hunter Biden initiated direct monthly payments from his company to President Joe Biden's personal checking account in September 2018, according to bank records obtained by the House Oversight Committee and shared with the Washington Free Beacon.
The records are the most direct evidence to date that Joe Biden profited from his son's overseas business dealings. The company, Owasco PC, served a critical role in Hunter Biden's Chinese ventures, receiving nearly $5 million from the Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC in 2017 and 2018. Hunter Biden signed a document in early September 2018 authorizing Owasco to make monthly payments of $1,380 to Joe Biden's checking account, with the first payment landing in his father's account on Sept. 17, the records show.

"Payments from Hunter's business entity to Joe Biden are now part of a pattern revealing Joe Biden knew about, participated in, and benefited from his family's influence peddling schemes," House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) said Monday. "This wasn't a payment from Hunter Biden's personal account, but an account for his corporation that received payments from China and other shady corners of the world."

The White House did not return a request for comment.
Watch Karine Jean-Pierre quickly exit the briefing room when asked about this:
Hunter Biden continues insisting that he will only testify publicly. His strategy is obvious: He will deliver a 20 minute opening statement in which he recounts the pain he suffered smoking crack and banging Ukranian hookers, and whines about his persecution by the evil GOP, then he will invoke the Fifth Amendment -- without actually invoking it -- and get up and leave the room. He will dare the GOP to exercise its power to instruct the Sergeant of Arms of the Congress to arrest him and sit his ass down in the witness seat, and they will gutlessly back down.
As for how to invoke the Fifth without invoking the Fifth -- I think a Clinton-connected asshole did this. He invoked "any of his rights to not answer" without specifying he was invoking the Fifth Amendment's right against self-incrimination. "Any rights" includes that one.
Hunter's newest legal stunt was demanding he be allowed to subpoena Trump and former AG Bill Barr in the fake prosecution of his gun crimes and tax crimes by Very Special Counsel Jack Smith.
Even the leftwing partisan Democrat Jack Smith had to tell Hunter that a very firm "No."
Special Counsel David Weiss blasted Hunter Biden's recent request to subpoena former President Trump and other former officials in a court filing on Tuesday.
Weiss submitted the filing in Delaware federal court, arguing Biden's request "is meritless and should be denied." President Biden's son had requested subpoenas against Trump, former Attorney General Bill Barr and two other former Trump administration officials, arguing his gun crimes charge had originated in a vindictive Justice Department.
"Not only does defendant's motion fail to identify any actual evidence of bias, vindictiveness, or discriminatory intent on the Special Counsel's part, his arguments ignore an inconvenient truth: No charges were brought against defendant during the prior administration when the subpoena recipients actually held office in the Executive Branch," Weiss wrote.
"Instead, every charge in this matter was or will be brought during the current administration--one in which defendant's father, Joseph R. Biden, is the President of the United States and Merrick B. Garland is the Attorney General that was appointed by President Biden and who personally appointed the Special Counsel. Defendant has not shown, nor can he, how external statements by political opponents of President Biden improperly pressured him, his Attorney General, or the Special Counsel to pursue charges against the President's son," the filing continues.
Biden attorney Abbe Lowell had argued last month that the investigation into the president's son arose only due to "incessant, improper, and partisan pressure" during the Trump administration.
