reporters.

>> thank you very much for being here this morning. obviously this is a big day. this is the day that the house oversight and judiciary committees will hunter biden. we are deposing hunter witness in our investigation of president joe biden. r unerted substantial evidence of president biden's and his family's corruption. the biden's created 20 shell companies, most of which were created when joe biden was vice presid and for anyone who doesn't understand what a shell company is i'm talking to the here, a shell company is a company with no assets known purpose. we determined the bidenshell companies. the bidens and their associated raked over $30 million from china, russia, ukraine romania and democrat donors. 10 members of the biden family, including joe biden, either participated or the family influenced peddling schemes. the biden family

business? that's been a big question of this whole investigation. what was the business? biden family ass was the brand. president biden has repeatedly lied to the american people he never interacted with his sons' associates. when joe biden was vice president. he spoke associate, his son's associates by speaker phone over dined with foreign oligarchs, ad coffee with his son's chinese associa president. since you care so much about russia, we know that vice president biden spoke on the phone with russian owe oligarch elena and dined with her as she was funneling millions of dollars to his son. this phone call was set up biden and vice president biden told her to be good to my boy. ao ork with the chinese communist party linked

energy company began when joe biden was vice p they even gave hunter diamond during this time to entice him to work with the l company. the bidens received a $3 million payment as a thank you for work completed when joe biden after joe biden left office. we interviews. what that first $3 million payment that we unerted in our very first bank mum dumb, first of four bank mum dumbs we have -- bank memorandums we theth 3 million for. they said it was a thank you for all eice president biden did in the obama-bidenvj administration as vice president. around the same of this payment joe biden attended a cesc meeting where there were 10, 10cefc officials present chairman ye, who is tied to c.c.p. intelligence. then a few months later hunter

biden threatened his associate when he demanded payment by claiming his father was sitting next room. that's the what'sappower produced to theays and means committee. a what's ap hunter biden claimed his father was sitting beside him when he was extorting money from the chinese national. shortly thereafter cesc wired $5 million to an entity controlled by hunter biden. bay $400,000 was moved from the joint account to a business account of hunter biden a few weeks later joe biden received a $40,000 check from that transaction. that's evidence that joe biden receiv $40,000 directly from the chinese communist party linked entity. this is public 101. the american people see the unfortunately many in the corporate media and democrats seek to cover up for the bidens. why is that?

the american people aren't buying what the democrats and corporate media are selling. we will continue to follow the facts and hold the bidens accountable corruption. i'll be happy to answer a few questions if anyone has you put out a statement said this is not over. you will continue witnesses. at which point typically d fish, whatever it be, the end of the investigation, at which point of this investigation done, when do you think the committee to refer out the articles on the floor. will youle when it's complete? mr. comer: obviously we had a lotpositions over the last six weeks. but with each interview we learn more information. we find moreds to be obtained. more hits. more accusations that need to be investigated. as long as we keep getting new information in we'll continue to i'm ready to try to begin to close this this has been a very difficult investigation. this administration has been very haven't been cooperative.

i feel like we are having to battle the department of justice and the f.b.i. on a daily basis to get basic information. many of our witnesses that we brought in would be what i would consider hostile witnesses. but at the end of the day i think with every interview we have learned new information. and the basis of what we have learned is bidens didn't have a legitimate business. their business joe biden. the brand. what we learneds model from three different asss that said that joe biden communicated with the people right before the closing, so he was the closure -- closer of the influenced peddling scheme. and that in at least one wcesc one that hunter one of the influence peddling teams, anden the americorps deal that "politico" did a good about. both times in scheme, in their pitch to obtain money, they said joe biden was interested in an equity

ownership stake and that joe biden might even if the price was right, be on of these two entities. that's what we have learned itions and interviews. >> you said the bidens. that includes president biden. what evidence do you have directly linking president biden beyond a dinner, a letter, a coffee, on speaker phone. you keep saying the bidens. you talking about president biden specifically. what evidence do you have that he profited off his son? mr. comer: we have two checks. i don't cite "politico" very oven. they ran a good ston they didn't put on their morning link. it was about the americorps $200,000 payment joe biden received from an influenced peddling scheme. he received two payments. we found this through subpoenaed bank reports. two payments. the first payment was americorps health. there is no question that money came diry from influence

peddling. we have traced the money. frankly it wasn't hard. the se wcond i just referenced in my opening statement. $40,000 that came directly from hunter, the hunter biden shakedown where he said his father istu beside him. the steps are calleat's what the steps are called. >> to the president of the united states. he states. it appears when you say bidens -- mr. comer: the reason they sent it directly to joe biden, they sent it to the shell companies. that's were there are 170 suspicious activity reports from six different banks that alerted the treasury department that they client, hunter biden, was money laundering. this is a vy serious crime. the number of financial crime been investigated for and no resolution to any investigation every investigation was called off. think about this -- the bidens have been investigated by the

f.b.i. they have been investigated by three different u.s. attorney offices. they have been investiga they have been investigated by the securities and exchange commission. thlist goes on and on and on. yet every t told what was said, they were told to stand down. there are two parts to this investigation. there is the actual biden crimes. and then there is the cover-up. >> what evidence that either the vice president or as president joe b his political office in any way to benefit either hunter or james biden? mr. comer: we have evidence that joe biden met -- >> what specific actions -- mr. comer: i already how does this chinese business helped -- mr. comer: let me ask you a question. you americorps health. does anyone in here question whether or not that was does anyone question that? no. >> i question th there was no evidence that joe biden -- mr. comer: he got it. and the evidence that jim biden

look, you can defend joe biden all day-- you can be on his legalse team. kevin morris will probably pay your legal bills if you wantanswering my question. mr. comer: i am. you don't understand what ha said over and over and over. joe biden took $200,000 directly americorps health. >> he was a the $200,000, was he not? mr. comer: the $40,000 -- >> the $200,000 -- mr. comer: do you have a problem that j about this. that american health -- >> i'm askin what specific action did you take as a public official an elected public -- mr. comer: with the -- calm down. ok. it's ok. all the angry liberals. they'll be all right. listen. he's had $3.5 million from the russian oligarch. there have been three sets of tions. she has not been listed on any of those sanctions.

even though the most important issue according to joe biden in right now ask giving ukraine another blank check. there are issues in ukraine that we a are issues with the russian oligarchs. you look at the money they got from china. many of us believe that joe biden has a china first, america last policy. so when we issue the report, when we have the public hearing many of these policy discussions debated. one more question. i can't hear you >> is there anything new since since -- [indiscernible] of questions for hunter biden. specifically resolving around the 100-plus suspicious acti reports he got. specifically around what some of his associates have testified that joe biden communicated frequently witall of these shady characters who were wiring the family money. we have a lot of questions based on financial

crimes that he was being i.r.s., criminal international crimes division. so we are going to try to get those questions in. with this. this investigation's about public corruption. the american people do not want their publics, to peddle access to their leaders millions of dollars. you may think that's ok. but i can assureot. i traveled from connecticut to arizona campaigning for members of congress that are seeking re-election and running for election. and everywhere i go the same thing. thank you for trying to find out the truth. thank you for trying to stop this cottage industry of influence peddling. that's what this investigaonose of this investigation, if you go back to the verynce, was to get the truth to the american people. because the american people didn't have the truth. they didn't have the truth. the media, when we started this investigation, the laptop was russian disinformation. the bidens had legitimate businesses.

joe never talked to any of the people that sent him money.this happened while he was president. all that have we have proven is false. we have been the truth to the american people. my job as chairman of the
