[The Federalist] Where’s the money?" That was President Joe Biden’s response when asked last week about allegations that he had "sold out the country," a response that he then clarified as a joke. It’s no joke any more though.
In the wake of a whistleblower report of a $5 million bribe allegedly accepted by then-Vice President Biden to influence policy in Ukraine, Republican lawmakers are now demanding transparency from the president regarding the substantial income he reported on his 2017 taxes.
The questions are long overdue. I first asked, "Where Is Hunter Biden’s Money?" just before the 2020 election, noting that civilian Biden had reported $9.5 million in income for fiscal year 2017 — almost twice as much as he had earned in the prior 19 years combined. A subsequent piece last year analyzed the accepted premise that this money had come from his book deal with Flatiron Books.
