President Joe Biden’s brother told the Internal Revenue Service that Hunter Biden told him he was in business with a “protege of President Xi,” referring to the leader of China, according to documents reviewed during testimony by Jim Biden to Congress released Friday.
“It was alleged by Hunter to me, and I, obviously, I said that, and that’s my recollection,” Jim Biden said in regards to Ye Jianming, the chairman of Chinese energy firm CEFC, who was later arrested for fraud in China and disappeared.
He later said his comments to IRS investigators used a “term of art,” saying “It was a gratuitous comment, okay, and it wasn’t well chosen, okay, being a protege of the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party.”
