Hunter Biden’s suspect international business dealings long have been in the news. After all, he’s gotten payments of millions from interests in China, Russia and Ukraine, sometimes for what is not clearly a service that was provided.
Now a new report puts Jim Biden, Joe Biden’s brother, in the spotlight.
Affidavits uncovered by the Daily Mail charge that Jim was “at the center of a $140 million settlement between a U.S. construction company and Saudi Arabia in 2012.”
And, the Mail reports, “Biden was selected because Saudi Arabia ‘would not dare stiff the brother of the vice president who would be instrumental to the deal.”
The report explains the details come from legal documents in the case.
The case affidavits obtained by the publication said Jim Biden was at the center of the deal between Hill International and Saudi Arabia. The report said the documents show Jim Biden “told a former senior U.S. Treasury official working as a private investigator that he was hired … ‘because of his position and relationship’ to VP Joe Biden.”
