On Wednesday, members of the House Oversight Committee who belong to the Republican party disclosed that an amount exceeding $20 million was received by the Biden family and their acquaintances from foreign entities situated in countries such as Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan during the tenure of Joe Biden as the vice president.
The committee’s investigation identified substantial payments to Hunter Biden, notably including multimillion-dollar sums from Yelena Baturina, a Russian oligarch, as well as from Burisma, a major Ukrainian energy company, and Kenes Rakishev, an oligarch from Kazakhstan. These financial transactions occurred while Joe Biden held the position of vice president.
The records show Baturina wired $3.5 million to Rosemont Seneca Thornton, a shell company belonging to Hunter and Archer, in February 2014.
Three-quarters of a million dollars was then transferred directly to Archer, and the rest was used to fund a new company, Rosemont Seneca Bohai.

“During Joe Biden’s vice presidency, Hunter Biden sold him as ‘the brand’ to reap millions from oligarchs in Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine. It appears no real services were provided other than access to the Biden network, including Joe Biden himself. And Hunter Biden seems to have delivered,” said committee chairman James Comer (R-KY).
“It’s clear Joe Biden knew about his son’s business dealings and allowed himself to be ‘the brand’ sold to enrich the Biden family while he was Vice President of the United States.”
In a particular incident, bank records reveal that Kenes Rakishev, an oil oligarch from Kazakhstan, electronically transferred $142,000 to a shell corporation owned by Hunter Biden, which was subsequently used to purchase a new Porsche. Notably, the day following the transaction, a dinner arrangement was made between Joe Biden and the aforementioned oligarch.
