Republicans reveal a $200,000 personal check from James Biden to Joe Biden that they say is the strongest evidence yet that the president was directly involved in his family’s business dealings.

According to bankruptcy court documents obtained by the House Oversight Committee, James Biden took money from his health care business Americore and sent it directly to Joe Biden.

The documents show that in 2018, James Biden obtained $600,000 in loans from Americore. 

In a video put out Friday by Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., he says the documents explicitly state that James was able to receive the loans based upon ‘representations’ that his last name, ‘Biden,’ could ‘open doors.’

On March 1, 2018, Americore wired a $200,000 loan into the personal bank account of James and Sara Biden. 

That same day, James Biden wrote a $200,000 check to ‘Joseph R. Biden’ from his personal account for a ‘loan repayment.’ At the time, Joe had already left the vice presidency position.

Republicans leading the investigation into the Biden family’s ‘influence peddling scheme’ say this personal check directly shows Joe was aware of – and included in – his family’s dealings.

Comer goes on to say in the video that James made it seem as though ‘he could obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections.’

‘Americore—a distressed company—loaned money to James Biden who then sent it to Joe Biden,’ continues Comer in the video.

‘Even if this was a personal loan repayment, it’s still troubling that Joe Biden’s ability to be paid back by his brother depended on the success of his family’s shady financial dealings,’ Comer states. 

A spokesperson said that the committee ‘recently’ received the documents that were a result of a September subpoena for Hunter and James’ business and personal bank records. 

The release of the check comes weeks after Republicans held their first hearing in the impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden.

In September, then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched the impeachment inquiry – being led by Oversight.

Republicans say bank records show that Biden family and associates raked in more than $20 million from China, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Romania.

There are also WhatsApp messages Hunter sent to an associate claiming Joe was in the room while they were discussing business, and damning testimony from IRS and FBI whistleblowers.
