“The record currently contains witness and written evidence that the President (1) has lied about key facts in these foreign dealings, (2) was the focus of a multimillion-dollar influence peddling scheme, and (3) may have benefitted from this corruption through millions of dollars sent to his family as well as more direct possible benefits,” Turley explained. “The President may be able to disprove or rebut these points, but they raise legitimate concerns over his role based on the accounts of key figures in the matter.”
Professor Turley began by citing the testimony from Hunter Biden’s former best friend and business parter, Devon Archer, who claimed Hunter Biden’s business was the “Biden Brand” and Turley pointed out that this is a “classic influence peddling operation.”
“While this was described as an ‘illusion of access,’” Turley said, “millions were generated for the Biden’s from some of the most corrupt figures in the world, including associates who were later accused of or convicted of public corruption.”
“Some of the Biden clients pushed for changes impacting United States foreign policy and relations, including help in dealing with Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin investigating corruption,” Turley wrote.
Turley explained that Joe Biden made many “false claims” that he had nothing to do with or had any knowledge of Hunter Biden’s foreign businesses, which we can now see are “patently false.” Turley also explained how “The Washington Post and other media outlets have also declared the President’s insistence that his family did not take money from China as false.”
“The President had been aware for years that Hunter Biden and his uncle James were accused of influence peddling, including an audiotape of the President acknowledging a New York Times investigation as a threat to Hunter,” Turley said. “President Biden was repeatedly called into meetings with these foreign clients and was put on speakerphone. He also met these clients and foreign figures at dinners and meetings.”
“These are only some of the serious corruption allegations facing the President,” he explained, “but each could raise impeachable conduct if a nexus is established to the President.”
