RYAmericore.The first

RYAmericore.The first brother insisted the paymentwas a legitimate loan reimbursement.Democrats said bankrecords showed that Joe Biden hadtransferred that amount to Jamespreviously; Republicans said no loanpaperwork existed and questionedwhether Joe Biden had actuallytransferred the initial funds, whichflowed from a law firm associatedwith the family.James Biden also sent ,000to Joe Biden on Sept. 3, 2017, whichHouse Republicans said came from“laundered” funds from CEFC ChinaEnergy, a Chinese state-linked firmthat paid Hunter and James Bidenmillions of dollars in a venture inwhich one Biden family associateinfamously penciled in a 10% cut forJoe Biden, whom they referred to asthe “big guy.”The source of that ,000 sentto Joe was traceable due to thenear-empty balance of James’ account,investigators pointed out.James defended his work withCEFC in his impeachment inquirytestimony, though his description ofhis duties drew questions about hispossible liability under the ForeignAgents Registration Act, which requiresAmericans to register beforelobbying for certain foreign clients.“Relying on the extensive networkof contacts I had developed overmany decades, I quickly identifieda number of promising opportunities.For example, I reached out toa number of investors who werefriends and who expressed seriousinterest in working with us,” Jamessaid.“In addition, I connected withRichard Leyoub, an old friend andthe former long-term AttorneyGeneral of Louisiana, who by 2017was the state Commissioner ofConservation. Mr. Leyoub directedme to a number of projects, includingMonkey Island LNH, a propertyoff the coast of Louisiana withopportunities for the on loading andoffloading of liquid natural gas.“Of all the projects, this was theone that proved most attractiveto CEFC, whose representativespresented the opportunity to theChairman [Ye] and gave an informalgo-ahead for the project. We evenmarked the occasion with a celebratorylunch.”Joe Biden allegedly met in early2017 in Washington with CEFCChairman Ye Jianming shortly beforethe company opened the spigotof funds flowing to the family,former Biden family associate RobWalker testified.James said in his own testimonythat his brother “had no informationat all about the source of the fundsI used to repay him.”“I never asked my brother to takeany official action on behalf of me,my business associates, or anyoneelse. In every business venture inwhich I have been involved, I haverelied on my own talent, judgment,skill, and personal relationships— and never my status asJoe Biden’s brother,” he said in thetestimony in February.He insisted that the money hetransferred to the president wasall short-term loans that were fortuition payments for his children,unforeseen medical expenses andstorm damage to his house.“The Committees have askedabout those loans from my brother.They were short-term loansthat I received from Joe when hewas a private citizen, and I repaidthem within weeks … The completeexplanation is that Joe lentme money, and I repaid him assoon as I had the funds to do so.”“What I can say is not that I’maware of,” White House press secretaryKarine Jean-Pierre said Dec.12 about a James Biden pardon.“But I just don’t have anything elsebeyond that, and the presidentcertainly is going to as it morebroadly speaking, as we move forwardto the next couple of weeks,he obviously is going to reviewwith his team about other clemencydecisions, and they’re taking additionalsteps, and so that’s what Ican speak to at this time.”NEW # 832.627.3729“An new era begins for Prison BreakTattoos with New Owners, Amazing Artists,and Same Great Location”44 The BLUES - FEBRUARY ‘25
