Waltz Declares Joe and Hunter Biden 'Worst Corruption Scandal in Our History'

The House Oversight Committee recently held a hearing with Hunter Biden's former business associate Tony Bobulinski and others as House Republicans continue their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, hoping to hold a hearing with the President personally. Representative Mike Waltz (R-FL) who sat at the hearing, discussed afterward on Fox News's Ingraham Angle, saying the nature of the supposed influence peddling made it "one of the largest and most serious corruption scandals in our history."

"There is the question we have been asking every one of these witnesses: What was the product? What was the service? What were twenty-seven shell companies established across your entire family while you were Vice President, charged with [President Barack] Obama for having policy oversight of China and Ukraine?" Rep. Waltz clarified, noting that the continued accumulation of evidence such as text messages, emails, bank records, and witness testimony suggested the product Joe and Biden were "selling was America."

While Rep. Waltz noted there were various pieces of information linking the Bidens to Russia and Ukraine, "the piece I focused on today was China and the Chinese Communist Party," specifically on CEFC China Energy, whose chairman Ye Jianming was a close associate of President Xi Jinping.

"Xi has a long history of bribing officials, and they call it 'going after the princelings,' the sons of officials to get to key policymakers. And in fact, do not even take it from us. That chairman, Ye Jianming, has since disappeared, but many of his associates were prosecuted in the Southern District of New York for doing exactly that, and we saw that exact pattern unfold with Hunter Biden," Waltz continued.

The Florida Congressman appeared to be referencing Patrick Ho, who was convicted to three years in prison in 2019 for bribing officials in southern Africa so CEFC could gain lucrative business deals. Notably, the now-freed Ho recently filed a lawsuit against Hunter Biden for $1 million, claiming Hunter violated a 2017 contract to perform legal work on Ho's behalf by not doing any.

Substitute host Judge Jeanine Pirro then played a segment of the hearing featuring Representative Dan Goldman (D-NY), who attempted to disprove President Biden was the "Big Guy" mentioned in an infamous email, prompting Pirro to question why Rep. Goldman sought to do so.

"Well, because they are trying to carry his water," Waltz answered, "and they are complicit in covering up what I think is one of the largest and most serious corruption scandals in our history," reasoning the Bidens were engaging in illicit business with American adversaries such as China.
