Joe Biden's BROTHER James is dragged into Chinese payments scandal as it's revealed more than 150 transactions made by him and Hunter were flagged as 'concerning' by US banks

"Joe Biden's brother James has been linked to first son Hunter's shady dealings after it emerged both men were paid huge retainers by a Chinese firm.

James Biden, 72, received $65,000 a month from the Chinese-linked consulting group throughout 2018, totaling $780,000. The cash was given to his Lion Hall Group.

Meanwhile, the same firm - which has links to China's ruling communist party - paid Hunter a cool $100,000 a month for the same year, as well as a $500,000 retainer - meaning he earned a cool $1.7 million from the firm in 2018.

The documents were obtained by Sen. Chuck Grassley, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, who spent three years digging into James and Hunter's business dealings, which he called 'very concerning.'

He said his team obtained the records directly from the bank where the consulting firm did business. To the extent those occurred while Joe Biden was the vice president, there's a worry that they hope to get something direct from the Obama administration." DailyMail
