All in the family: Joe Biden's brother also made big money from foreign sources

It was supposed to be a “life changing event” for the Biden family, according to the president’s brother, James Biden, in 2017.
A lucrative deal with a Chinese conglomerate was netting millions for James Biden, his wife, Sara Biden, the president’s son, Hunter Biden, and their business partners. They were eyeing a high-dollar transaction that could “set us free,” according to James Biden.
The Chinese company, CEFC, already had a cozy relationship with the Biden family. One of its executives appeared to share an office space with Joe Biden, who was then just months removed from his vice presidency, as well as with Jill Biden, James Biden, and Hunter Biden.
The group had discussed the prospect of cutting Joe Biden in on the profits should he remain out of office, according to what Rob Walker, one of the former business partners, told the FBI.
But by 2018, the joint venture with Hunter and James Biden and their Chinese partners had dissolved. In the years since, including in July, the U.S. government has said in multiple court filings that it viewed CEFC as a foreign agent seeking influence for China.
While much of the scrutiny surrounding the Biden family business has focused on Hunter Biden, years of emails, news reports, court filings, and other pieces of evidence suggest James Biden also spent years monetizing his brother’s political power.
