3 things to know about the Biden corruption allegations
Biden family accounts received millions from a bank account affiliated with a corrupt Romanian official
The subsequent memo published by the House Oversight Committee contained additional information about payments received by Robinson Walker, LLC. A Romanian company titled Bladon Enterprises began making payments into the LLC in November 2015, five weeks after the then-vice president met with the Romanian President Klaus Iohannis at the White House.
The payments continued through May 2017, adding up to over $3 million. Just over $1 million from the Robinson Walker, LLC account went to Biden family accounts in that time period, with 16 of the 17 payments taking place while Biden was vice president. Several transactions between Robinson Walker, LLC and accounts tied to Biden family members took place almost immediately following payments from Bladon Enterprises.
The committee highlighted Bladon Enterprises' reported ties to Gabriel Popoviciu, who was convicted of a bribery-related offense in Romania. Additionally, the memo cited an NBC News report from 2016 acknowledging "Hunter Biden's work for Popoviciu in 2016."

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., elaborated on the implications of his committee's findings in a statement released upon the publication of the second set of financial records.
"The Bidens made millions from foreign nationals providing what seems to be no services other than access and influence. From the thousands of records we've obtained so far, we know the Biden family set up over a dozen companies when Joe Biden was vice president," he said.
"The Bidens engaged in many intentionally complicated financial transactions to hide these payments and avoid scrutiny," Comer added. "The Bidens' foreign entanglements are breathtaking and raise serious questions about why foreign actors targeted the Biden family, what they expected in return, and whether our national security is threatened."
Comer vowed that the House Oversight Committee would "continue to pursue additional bank records to follow the money trail and inform legislative solutions to prevent this type of corruption."
President Biden has continually denied wrongdoing in regards to his son's business dealings.
"My son has done nothing wrong. I trust him. I have faith in him," he said last month.
