Under the growing scrutiny surrounding the impeachment inquiry, focus has narrowed onto allegations involving Republican Congressman Andy Biggs of Arizona and the dealings of the Biden family. As part of his role on the House Oversight and Judiciary Committee, Congressman Biggs is also co-chair of the Border Security Caucus.
Central to this developing story is whether the president had any involvement with Hunter Biden’s business activities. Nonetheless, repeated assertions argue no evidence exists to suggest such a connection. However, such an impeachment inquiry may allow the House to finally obtain the long-awaited records of Hunter Biden and others involved, absolutely vital in the pursuit of related witnesses. On the other side, critics argue there exists a chain of suspicious activity reports and bank records that point towards money transfers.
Notably, Devin Archer, a partner to Hunter Biden, has previously testified stating their product was 'Biden'. In addition, Archer was present on the Burisma board, and in what could be a significant revelation, Biden allegedly admitted using this fact as extortion. There are also cited cases where action taken by Biden follows a changing of hands of money, with a connection established involving Russian oligarchs or China.
Other contentious elements of this case include trips made by Hunter Biden and Devin Archer with the president. There are also reports of payments made to President Biden, claiming these were funds he loaned to family members. An IRS whistleblower recently quoted that there existed no records shedding light on these transactions, thus leaving unverified whether these were actually loans.
Enhancing suspicions are documents regarding a $5 million transfer from the Bank of China. A bank official, noting the lack of a definitive product being sold, questioned the origin of the transaction and the absence of any loan.
This case could stem out to four potential articles of impeachment, including bribery, conspiracy, obstruction and abuse of power, most notably bribery. Critics are dismissing the notion that there is no evidence, and instead argue there is a mountain of evidence to sift through. The daunting task now is to present this information in a comprehensible manner to the American public.
