If Republicans regain control of Congress in the midterm elections, the republican McCarthy (R-Calif.) has promised to launch a probe of the Biden family’s ties with a Chinese elite.
During the Fox News program “Sunday Morning Futures,” McCarthy said the Republicans, jointly, will likely investigate the origins of COVID-19 and President Joe Biden’s alleged receipt of $31 million from a Chinese elite while he was still vice president of the United States.
“When we take the majority, we will create that committee on China and it will be a bipartisan committee, so you will have one American voice on how we can compete where China comes in and captures the critical minerals, when they come in and capture our medical supply and others,” McCarthy stated according to iBtimes.
“We might have to go further. You might just have to be able to have a further investigation just within this family. What are they doing, and where did this money come from?”
McCarty’s comments come after Peter Schweizer’s book, “Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win,” on Jan. 27 claimed that individuals with ties to Chinese intelligence provided the Biden family with $31 million through five deals.

Schweizer said the deal entail $20 million from Chinese investment fund Bohai Harvest RST (BHR), $5 million from Burnham Asset Management, $188,000 from Hong Kong-based Gemini Investments, $6 million from CEFC China Energy head Ye Jianming and $1 million from CEFC’s “top lieutenants” Patrick Ho.
The “Red-Handed” writer compiled the list using emails from First Son Hunter Biden’s laptop at a computer repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware.
According to owner John Paul Mac Isaac at The Mac Shop in Wilmington, an unidentified man brought in three water-damaged laptops in April 2019. Since the man appeared to be legally blind, he did not know the man’s identity. Although, Isaac described the man as Hunter.
After looking at the contents, Isaac said he feared for his life despite not specifying what they were, the News Journal reported.
FBI officials took the laptop in December 2019 but have not yet released its contents. Mac Isaac approached Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, after being frustrated with the agency’s silence.
