Money laundering investigator, Bradley Birkenfeld, recently revealed to Fox News that he warned the FBI in 2018 of Hunter Biden’s suspicious conduct with foreign money, specifically from China. Birkenfeld, who worked with the FBI to uncover a massive tax evasion scandal regarding Swiss-based banking giant UBS, claims he alerted the agency that the former Vice President’s son was receiving unusual and erratic payments from Chinese entities.
At the time, Hunter Biden served as board chairman for a Chinese investment firm, Bohai Harvest RST, a joint venture between the Chinese government and a planned state-run investment firm. From 2014 – 2019, Berry Birchfield claims he watched hundreds of millions in deposits pass through the company’s account with the help of familiar faces like former Secretary of State John Kerry and Hunter Biden. To make matters worse, it appears that there were multiple transactions that Birchfield suggested were illegal in nature, including money transfers to US banks that Birchfield believes could easily be labeled money laundering.
In addition to the suspicious behavior, Birchfield claims that FBI agents were concerned about Hunter Biden’s “special access” to Chinese leaders, including President Xi Jinping, as well as the former Vice President’s past views on human rights in China. The development is especially troubling since Hunter Biden’s father, Joe Biden, spent much of his political career defending and promoting human rights, particularly those of oppressed groups in China.
Ultimately, it is unclear whether the FBI followed up on Birchfield’s warnings. But with new reports surfacing of Hunter Biden’s business dealings in China, the information that Birchfield provided may still prove to be helpful in any ongoing investigations. With the 2020 US presidential election officially underway, it is important to keep a close eye on any potential corruption in the White House.
