(WND)—A committee in the U.S. House has released investigative documents that show Hunter Biden sold the Biden “brand,” understood to be access to his father as vice president and then president, in 23 nations.
And those documents also suggest that there were concerted efforts to impact American foreign policy in connection with those sales.
Rep. Jason Smith, of the House Ways and Means Committee, announced at a news conference the committee voted to release a vast new store of evidence regarding what appears to be developing as a Biden family-wide influence-peddling operation that netted members $20 million or more.
Smith said the details, from whistleblowers, has not yet been contradicted by any evidence that has been revealed.
“It is clear that then-vice president Joe Biden’s political power and influence was ‘the brand’ that Hunter Biden was selling all over the world,” he said, deals that involved efforts to “sway U.S. policy decisions.”
Smith confirmed the existence of evidence linking the global influence peddling scheme to Joe Biden and “official U.S. government activity.”
Smith’s announcement also widened the massive scandal, when he explained that Hunter Biden apparently was a “door opener” for others in government, including now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Further, there are multiple indications that the Department of Justice took active steps to “impede” any part of any investigation that could lead to Joe Biden, including orders from a U.S. attorney to investigators to “remove all mentions of ‘political figure one.’”
According to a report at The Gateway Pundit, among the documents released was a 2017 WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to a business associate that he was not willing to “sign over my family’s brand,” or give the individual “the keys to my family’s only asset.”
Chairman Smith added, “That asset could only be one person: Joe Biden.”

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
