Hunter Biden’s Lawyer Tries to Explain Why Joe Biden’s Delaware Address was Used for Payments From Chinese Nationals
He failed and just raised more eyebrows.
Subpoenaed documents show that Hunter Biden used Joe Biden’s Delaware home address as the beneficiary address for payments from two Chinese nationals, according to the House Oversight Committee.
The bank wires also showed the transactions took place in 2019 when Joe was running for president.
Hunter’s attorney tried to explain it away:
In his statement, [Abbe] Lowell said the bank transfers resulted from loans Hunter Biden received from a private individual, and they referenced his father’s Delaware address because it was on his personal driver’s license at the time.
Lowell said Hunter Biden borrowed the funds while making “a substantial investment” in a partnership called BHR Partners.
“We expect more occasions where the Republican chairs twist the truth to mislead people to promote their fantasy political agenda,” Lowell said in his statement.
Um, what? I thought Hunter lived in California. Why was he living at his dad’s home?
Apparently, Hunter lived at the Wilmington home in 2017, his divorce from his now ex-wife.
He claimed he owned the property in 2018. That was a lie.
Hunter moved to California three years ago:
Hunter’s first home in Southern California was a $12,000-per-month rented house in the Hollywood Hills, where he set up his art studio for his new career in 2019. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom mid-century property had a pool and a gated drive.
He then moved to a $4.2million canal-side Venice Beach house in 2021. He and Melissa allegedly left the home in a state of ‘disarray and disrepair’ and owing approximately $80,000 in outstanding rent, a source told DailyMail.com.
‘Hunter and Melissa were horrible tenants. Not only did they stiff the owner for months of rent, they left the house in terrible condition,’ the source said.
So Hunter was in California in 2019. Documents from his laptop showed he used the Wilmington address as a billing address in 2018 and 2019.
But he moved to California in 2019. He bought the first home in June 2019.
The payments happened on July 26, August 2, and October 13.
You have to change your license in California within 10 days of moving there.
One payment came from Jonathan Li, the CEO of investment fund BHR. Hunter introduced then-vice president Joe Biden to Li during a trip to China in 2013.
Joe eventually wrote letters of recommendation for Li’s children to Brown University, Cornell University, and New York University.
Here are the facts the Oversight Committee published:
- Jonathan Li and Hunter Biden developed a business relationship during Joe Biden’s vice presidency.
- On July 26, 2019, Hunter Biden received a $10,000 wire from Wang Xin. On August 2, 2019, Hunter Biden received a $250,000 wire from Jonathan Li and Tan Ling. Both wires originated in Beijing and Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware home is listed as the beneficiary address for both wires.
- Nearly three months later, on October 13, 2019, Hunter Biden’s attorney George Mesires stated that Hunter Biden received no money from BHR and did not disclose any payments from Jonathan Li.
- Evidence shows Joe Biden developed a familiar relationship with Jonathan Li during his vice presidency and prior to these payments to Hunter Biden. Devon Archer, a Biden business associate, described how Joe Biden met with Jonathan Li in Beijing, China, had a phone call with him, and later wrote college recommendation letters for his children.
- In December 2013, during a vice presidential trip to Beijing, reports indicate that “Hunter, shortly after arriving in Beijing, on December 4, helped arrange for Li to shake hands with his father in the lobby of the American delegation’s hotel.”
- On October 22, 2020, Joe Biden falsely said, “My son has not made money, in terms of thing about, what are you talking about? China. The only guy who made money in China is [President Trump].”
What were the Bidens doing to receive money from Beijing?
Why is @POTUS lying about his family receiving this cash from China?
These are questions the media should be asking.
Americans deserve answers and accountability.@HouseGOP's impeachment inquiry will expose the truth. https://t.co/OO0AvZVA8K

🚨CHINA WIRES LIST JOE’S HOME AS BENEFICIARY ADDRESS 🚨
A few months after Joe Biden announced his candidacy in 2019, information available to the Committee shows Hunter Biden received two wires from China for $250,000 and $10,000, including from Jonathan Li.

Maybe it was a case of faulty wire instructions, and the payments should have gone to Bob Menendez’s address.
OK I laughed at that.
No way, man. You can’t wire gold.
Why would a grown man with a criminal record be allowed to use his daddy the politician’s address?
Hunter stated at Daddy’s home when Daddy wasn’t there. The same home with the Corvette that was upholstered in top secret documents.
The answer to your question is: because his daddy the politician is a criminal, too.

When you’re explaining, you’re losing.
As long as the administration of your lying snake father corruptly controls the DOJ, you can never really lose
The explanation is very easy. It just happens to open both him and the pedophile-in-chief to criminal liability.
Pretending that Biden did not profit, only the rest of his family, is like the dog ate my homework.
The Bidens have been dishonest and corrupt from the get go.
I’ve read elsewhere that Hunter was ‘renting’ Joe’s house at some point for $40K a month. Would be interesting to know if that was during this timeframe. If so, it seems like a pretty direct link to the pedo puppet.
I have read that as well, $0.5M per year on a $2M home.. IMO that is an example of the inter-family money laundering going on to make sure there were no records of Joe directly receiving cash, but consistent with Hunter reportedly saying he had to give half his income to his father. Menendez looks like an amateur next to the Biden family.
Very good point.
That’s what he told his daughter. But it wasn’t his income; it was Joe’s income, and when he complained that he had to give Joe half of it, what he really meant is that his commission was 50%, which strikes me as very generous. I don’t know the going rate for bagmen, but I assume it’s significantly lower than 50%.
however, even if the worst about Hunter and Joe is true, 50% of the country doesn’t care
welcome to Merica
Well since about 50% of the country voted for a pedophile, do you find this surprising?
“The payments happened on July 26, August 2, and October 13.

If your argument depends on assuming that Hunter Biden scrupulously obeyed any law, especially a pissant one like this, find another argument.
He bought a home in June, accepted a payment in July, and claimed he still had his old driver’s license? On the Hunter Biden behavior believability scale, this one rates 9+.
August? October? Still believable. Especially if all the checks were from the same payer who sent the first one.
About the best we could expect from this sequence of events is for California to indict Hunter for breaking their licensing law. And I’m sure Newsom can be depended upon to find some convenient statute of limitations.
Were these loans listed as ‘loans’ on the crackhead’s federal and state income tax returns?
But hey, what do IRS whistleblowers know anyway.
Boy, those politically exposed person rules at American banks sure do seem pretty damn lax eh.
Almost as if they don’t exist for Democrats, but boy how Americans push everyone else to ensure PEP’s are monitored outside of America.
This is just a sample of the “Excuses” we are going to hear from Lowell about the payments and meetings that will be exposed. This is why the impeachment inquiry must produce HARD evidence to the public. If the committee presents a bunch of this type of evidence, they will not get one Dem to vote with them. It has to be at the Menendez level to get any yes votes in the Senate. At best, the House committee may get Hunter on a minor bribery or FARA charge but without gold bars with fingerprints on them Joe is going to skate.
FYI, Abbe [not “Abby”] Lowell is a dude. I know we live in an era of widespread gender confusion and arbitrary pronouns, but your subhead should probably read “He failed and just raised more eyebrows,”
Fixed, thanks.
Why? B/C that’s just how the Biden Family rolls, as if the laws and customs everyone else is supposed to abide by will never be applied to them. In fairness, they seem to be correct, at least so far.
This is how a RICO family works-the First Addict uses his contacts including the home address ofMr. Big for the receipt of his income from foreign governments in which Mr Big is responsible for foreign policy and pays the bills of Mr. Big.and enables Mr. Big tio enjoy a lifestyle inconsistent with his reported income
