WASHINGTON — A key Biden family business associate appeared at the Capitol Friday for questioning in the impeachment inquiry into alleged corruption by President Biden.
Rob Walker signaled in a prepared opening statement that he intended to claim that Biden, 81, did nothing wrong in connection to the foreign ventures of first son Hunter Biden and first brother James Biden — but Republicans came armed with detailed questions about his inner knowledge of those ventures.
Walker distributed to Hunter, James, and first daughter-in-law Hallie Biden millions of dollars from China and Romania during and immediately after Joe Biden’s vice presidency.
“President Biden — while in office or as a private citizen — was never involved in any of the business activities we pursued. Any statement to the contrary is simply false,” Walker was to contend in his remarks.
“In business, the opportunities we pursued together were varied, valid, well-founded, and well within the bounds of legitimate business activities,” the statement added.
Republicans were prepared to ask Walker what services were provided in exchange for the lucrative ventures — following statements from other former Biden family associates that Joe Biden was indeed in communication with his family’s associates and that his relatives were effectively selling access.
