President Biden made several claims during the 2020 presidential debates that 3 years later are being labeled as falsehoods by conservatives as evidence continues to trickle out in the investigations into his son Hunter\u2019s foreign business dealings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018My son has not made money in terms of this thing you\u2019re talking about, what are you talking about, China,\u2019 Biden said on the debate stage leading up to the 2020 election.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since that claim, Hunter Biden contradicted his dad earlier this year, admitting in court that he received $664,000 from a \u2018Chinese infrastructure investment company.\u2019<\/p>\n
In December 2013, Hunter Biden traveled with his dad on an Asia trip, which included China as a stop, and introduced him to his Chinese business partner Jonathan Li in the lobby of the hotel where the U.S. delegation was staying. A recent closed-door interview with Hunter\u2019s former business partner, Devon Archer, revealed that the elder Biden would have coffee with him too during the visit. Less than two weeks later, Hunter would enter into a joint-venture called BHR Partners, a Beijing-backed private equity firm controlled by Bank of China Limited.<\/p>\n
\u2018Lie, deny, counter accuse,\u2019 GOP Rep. Pat Fallon of Texas, a member of the House Oversight Committee, posted on X on Wednesday with a clip of Biden\u2019s claim about his son\u2019s dealings in China. \u2018The three principles of the Biden family influence peddling scheme!\u2019<\/p>\n
Also on Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee released information it says shows that Biden received $40,000 in \u2018laundered China money\u2019 from the bank account of his brother and his sister-in-law in the form of a personal check which would contradict another debate claim from candidate Biden.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018I have not taken a penny from any foreign source ever in my life!\u2019 Biden said on the debate stage. \u2018I have not taken a single penny from any country whatsoever, ever.\u2019<\/p>\n
House Oversight Chair James Comer said that even if the check \u2014 which was 10% of the $400,000 sent to Hunter\u2019s company Owasco \u2014 was, in fact, a loan repayment, \u2018it still shows how Joe benefited from his family cashing in on his name \u2014 with money from China no less.\u2019<\/p>\n
While President Biden has maintained he was never in business with his son, text messages obtained by Fox News Digital back in 2020 revealed that Joe Biden, in May 2017, met with Hunter\u2019s business associates for the Sinohawk venture \u2014 specifically, Tony Bobulinski. The meeting on May 2, 2017, would have taken place just 11 days before a May 13, 2017, email obtained by Fox News in 2020, which included a discussion of \u2018remuneration packages\u2019 for six people in the business deal with CEFC.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The email includes a note that \u2018Hunter has some office expectations he will elaborate.\u2019 A proposed equity split references \u201920\u2019 for \u2018H\u2019 and \u201910 held by H for the big guy?\u2019 with no further details.<\/p>\n
Bobulinski previously confirmed in 2020 that \u2018big guy\u2019 referred to the elder Biden.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fox News Digital has also reported on how Biden has met with over a dozen of Hunter Biden\u2019s business associates and that his business partners visited the Obama-Biden White House over 90 times, which contradicts the changing narratives about Biden not discussing business dealings with his son.<\/p>\n
The communications obtained by Fox News Digital were found on a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden that bring to light another claim Biden made on the 2020 debate stage that also appears to be false.<\/p>\n
\u2018What he\u2019s accusing me of is a Russian plant,\u2019 Biden said about the laptop on the debate stage when pressed by Trump. \u2018What he\u2019s saying is a bunch of garbage. Nobody believes it except him and his good friend Rudy Giuliani.\u2019<\/p>\n
For years, Biden and his administration officials have claimed that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian \u2018misinformation\u2019 despite numerous media outlets independently verifying its legitimacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018My son did nothing wrong,\u2019 Biden said on the debate stage during the Democratic primary in 2019. \u2018I did nothing wrong.\u2019<\/p>\n
The White House did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n
