Investigation looking at long history of huge payments
Evidence has mounted in recent years about huge payments that came from foreign interests – sometimes those in American enemies like Russia and China – and have gone to the Biden family.
The total never has been added up, but there have been huge payments from those sources and others, like Ukraine, which was paying Hunter Biden tens of thousands of dollars a month to be on the board of a gas company, an industry in which he had no experience.
Joe Biden apparently helped out with that deal, traveling as vice president to Ukraine and ordering officials to get rid of a prosecutor looking into allegations of corruption at the gas company, or lose American help.
He returned to the U.S. and boasted about his manipulations in Ukraine.
