2024 LAWRENCE O’DONNELL ELECTION MELTDOWN | Does He Understand The Electoral College?
Evidence of Corruption in the Biden Family
Did Joe Biden receive payments from Chinese companies and when?
Executive Summary
Joe Biden did receive a personal check for $40,000 in 2017, recorded as a “loan repayment” from family (his sister‑in‑law Sara Biden), and investigators trace parts of that money to entities linked to China; public reporting and committee releases also show multi‑million dollar transfers tied to CEFC and other Chinese‑linked companies to Biden family associates after he left the vice presidency. Major fact‑checking outlets and the House Oversight materials agree on the existence and timing of these transfers but diverge sharply over whether Joe Biden personally received illicit payments or committed wrongdoing, with independent reporters and fact‑checkers finding no proven illegal conduct while the Oversight Committee frames the transactions as influence‑peddling [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].
Executive summary
Republicans in the House Oversight Committee, led by Rep. James Comer, assert a long-running influence‑peddling and corruption scheme by members of the Biden family and have produced timelines, bank‑record memoranda, and public hearings claiming Joe Biden personally benefited or participated in those deals [1] [2] [3]. Democrats, several media outlets, prior DOJ/FBI reviews, and some investigative accounts have pushed back, noting unverified intelligence reports, disputed informant claims, and findings that do not substantiate criminal conduct by the President [4] [5] [6].
1. What investigators say they found and why Republicans call it corruption
House Oversight publications and hearings describe a web of foreign business payments to Biden relatives and associates—citing bank‑records memoranda, an FD‑1023 FBI form with an informant claim about a $5 million demand, and payments from a Romanian company tied to Gabriel Popoviciu—as evidence of “influence peddling” and of Joe Biden abusing public office for family gain [2] [7] [8]. Committee chair Comer has framed these materials as a “mountain of evidence” showing Joe Biden lied about his knowledge and participation and has sought Suspicious Activity Reports and other records to trace the money [3] [1].
2. What independent and prior probes found or did not find
Previous inquiries and reporting complicate the GOP narrative: a 2020 review by FBI and prosecutors examined allegations without substantiating criminality tied to Joe Biden, and a 2020 Republican Senate probe found no direct evidence of wrongdoing by Joe Biden while noting Hunter had monetized the family name [4]. Major outlets summarized that Republican allegations include claims Joe Biden profited personally or influenced policy for family business, but those claims “have yet to be supported by direct evidence” in public reporting [5].
3. The role of informants, disputed claims, and foreign actors
Several specific allegations rest on unverified or later‑discredited sources: the FD‑1023 informant accounts and statements from foreign operatives or fugitives—such as claims made by Gal Luft or others tied to disinformation efforts—have been used by investigators but have contested reliability; some alleged informants have faced criminal charges or retractions, and analysts warn of foreign influence and falsehoods muddying the record [4] [9] [6].
4. Legal status: prosecutions, indictments, and limits of available evidence
The public record shows Hunter Biden has faced criminal charges and an active federal probe has examined his foreign income and tax matters, while no public criminal conviction or indictment against Joe Biden for these influence‑peddling allegations is presented in the Oversight materials; Republicans point to evidence they say merits impeachment inquiry, while prosecutors and earlier DOJ reviews have not produced public findings proving Joe Biden’s participation in criminal schemes [10] [11] [8].
5. Political framing, agendas, and how to weigh the claims
Oversight Committee releases and chair statements are overtly accusatory and geared toward accountability and possible impeachment, reflecting a political agenda to hold the President to account; critics and some former investigators argue some claims are amplified beyond what verifiable evidence supports, and independent reporting has stressed that major allegations “have yet to be supported by direct evidence” [3] [5]. Observers should consider the committee’s selection and presentation of documents alongside prior FBI/DOJ reviews and the provenance of key informants.
6. Bottom line and open questions for further verification
Material released by House Republicans documents numerous foreign payments to Biden family associates and asserts patterns consistent with influence peddling, but public, independently corroborated proof that Joe Biden personally accepted bribes or criminally participated in a family conspiracy has not been established in the sources provided; earlier official probes have not substantiated those specific criminal allegations, and several pivotal records and witness claims remain disputed or unverified [2] [4] [5]. The inquiry raises legitimate oversight questions worth forensic accounting and impartial prosecutorial review, but current public reporting and past investigations leave key factual links unresolved.
When President Trump talks, EVERYONE listens.
THE WORLD is listening to the most consequential leader in generations.
Side note: Are we the only ones old enough to remember the old commercials by EF Hutton?
President Trump’s speech to the United Nation was a banger! If you missed it live, catch up….
The signing of the new agreement with Denmark and Iceland was also interesting. The Prime Ministers gave remarks and heaped praise on President Trump.

Every time you hear Kamala Harris talk, you realize once again why she lost an electoral landslide, every swing state, and the popular vote.
JUST IN:
President Trump to sue Grammy Host Trevor Noah for saying he visited Epstein Island. “I have never been to Epstein Island…I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope.”
Only naive liberals believe the Epstein lie. Same people fell for the stormy daniels, EJ Carrol bullsh’t
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President Trump to sue Grammy Host Trevor Noah for saying he visited Epstein Island.
“I have never been to Epstein Island…I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope.”
I have to laugh when people say Pres. Trump has done nothing for America and things are worse now than ever. Nope. Things are better than ever. Problem is these people get all of their “information” and get their “research” from Fake News or from “friends” who get their “information” from fake news and accept it as fact.
Read the article below if you want facts. Not liberal-socialist bullsh’t.
“A rising Trump lifts all boats.”
I tell people that line, and their eyes light up.
“You’re right,” they often say with great enthusiasm.
It is hard to believe Donald Trump has been president again for only a little more than a year and a half.
The results have come so quickly and in so many areas that their scale can be difficult to absorb.
Perhaps that helps explain why the administration’s record has not fully registered with voters.
The recent Republican midterm convention in Dallas attempted to bring that record home.
But political events can sometimes become spectacles, and sometimes the message gets lost in the show and media spin.
So let’s start with the economy.
Despite some recent volatility, stocks remain sharply higher for 2026.
As of last week, the Nasdaq composite was up about 13% for the year, the S&P 500 almost 12%, and the Dow a solid 9%.
Since Trump took office last year, the numbers are even more impressive, with the S&P 500 up 27%, the Dow up 20%, and the Nasdaq composite up 34%.
Markets look forward, and sustained gains of that magnitude reflect substantial confidence in American companies, economic growth, and Trump himself.
Trump has given businesses big reasons for that confidence.
His administration launched an extraordinary deregulation campaign, initially ordering agencies to identify at least 10 existing regulations for elimination for every new regulation imposed.
The White House now says agencies have eliminated 129 regulations for every new rule issued.
Then came the One Big Beautiful Bill, signed into law in July 2025.
t extended major tax provisions, increased the child tax credit, and created tax breaks involving tips and overtime, ended double taxation on Social Security beneficiaries, among other provisions.
The White House has rightfully made these tax cuts a centerpiece of its growth agenda.
Inflation is another important part of the Trump story.
Americans suffered an enormous loss of purchasing power during the inflationary surge under Biden that followed the pandemic.
After COVID was waning and the economic recovery was well underway (started by Trump administration policies), President Joe Biden responded with a massive and unnecessary fiscal response.
In less than a year, Biden poured over $7 trillion into the economy. It made little sense and contributed to excessive demand, creating the worst inflation surge since the 1970s.
During his years, Biden’s inflation wiped out about 25% of the purchasing power of every dollar.
When Trump came back to power in 2025, he inherited a veritable mess.
No president can magically restore yesterday’s purchasing power.
What matters is restoring real purchasing power through restrained inflation, rising wages, and economic growth.
And Trump has done all of that and more.
August headline inflation was a relatively tame 3.4%, while core inflation was about 2.4%.
And much of the latest inflationary pressure is coming from energy in what appears to be a temporary problem rather than an overheating domestic economy.
The labor market also remains solid.
The latest jobs report showed payrolls increasing by 162,000 in August, unemployment holding at 4.1%, and average hourly earnings rising 3.1% from a year earlier.
And the good news extends well beyond economics.
Crime has fallen dramatically.
FBI data show violent crime declined 9.3% in 2025 — the largest annual decline since 1936.
Murder fell 18.1%, robbery 18.5% and aggravated assault 7.2%.
The improvement has continued into 2026, with a Council on Criminal Justice study finding homicides down another 18% through June in its sample of major cities.
Trump also delivered the dramatic border crackdown he promised.
After the extraordinary migration surge of more than 10 million undocumented aliens crossing into the country, Trump imposed a fundamentally tougher enforcement regime that secured the border almost overnight.
Border security was subsequently reinforced with substantial new resources in Trump’s signature 2025 legislation.
Today, we should think of the country as a patient at a doctor’s office.
When most of the vital signs are improving, you don’t panic and you don’t change the treatment.
There are headwinds. Gasoline and oil prices are the most obvious. But these are neither systemic economic failures nor permanent problems.
Trump is pushing greater American energy production while simultaneously accelerating nuclear power, with his administration targeting a quadrupling of U.S. nuclear capacity by 2050.
That brings us to the fly in the ointment: the Federal Reserve.
I believe the Fed has made a mistake by keeping the federal funds rate in the 3.5% to 3.75% range.
If it responds to an oil supply shock by raising interest rates, as some European central banks are doing, we will have real economic trouble.
Higher rates cannot create a single barrel of oil.
They can, however, make mortgages, cars, business investment, and government borrowing more expensive.
This is not some economic fantasy.
Richmond Federal Reserve President Thomas Barkin has acknowledged that conventional central bank wisdom is to “look past” supply shocks because they ordinarily produce temporary price increases.
Rather than tightening, I believe the federal funds rate should move lower, toward the 2% to 3% range.
The Fed should consider offsetting oil-driven, supply-shock inflation by reducing costs for consumers and businesses through lower overall interest rates.
That would also help address America’s frightening debt-service burden.
The national debt has passed $40 trillion. The Congressional Budget Office projected net federal interest costs of more than $1 trillion this year and $2.1 trillion by 2036.
Trump did not create four decades of accumulated federal debt, but he now has to deal with it.
Donald Trump has always been at his best when fixing problems other people said couldn’t be fixed.
For now, the overall economic, border, and crime numbers tell Americans something important: Don’t abandon a course that is producing good results.
It’s just simple physics: A rising Trump does lift all boats.

The Democrats clearly did not cheat as much with fake mail-in ballots in 2024 as they had in 2020.
Many swing states were close and they could have easily flipped them to win the White House and take Congress but didn’t.
Why? They couldn’t cheat like they did in 2020.
