John Ransom: Grassley said that the new evidence, however, can’t be dismissed so causally by either the media or the Democrats in Congress, and that Democrats should use some of the energy that they used on investigating Trump and Russia toward looking at the ties between Biden and China.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, called upon Congress to investigate the connection between Hunter Biden and the Chinese communist regime and influence peddling by Biden uncovered by Senate Republicans previously that had been dismissed by Democrats as “Russian disinformation,” according to a YouTube video of the speech.

The video shows Grassley standing before an exhibit which he claims shows signatures on an agreement between Hunter Biden, his companies and “individuals connected to the communist Chinese regime.”

“These are the main companies that Hunter Biden and his associates use to funnel money all over the world,” Grassley said, which he claims substantiates a previous Grassley report that Democrats had decried as propaganda.

“Grassley mentioned how when the first report was released, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said it ‘reads as if Putin wrote it,’” said the Tennessee Star. “Other Democratic politicians called the report ‘Russian propaganda,’ while media outlets including Slate, CBS and the Washington Post attempted to discredit the report, Grassley said.”

Hunter Biden has been widely accused of using his father influence to enrich himself and other members of his family during Joe Biden’s time as vice president of the United States, not just with China, but also with other countries such as Ukraine.

During the 2020 presidential campaign the issue became urgent when a laptop that Hunter Biden had abandoned was allegedly discovered and the hard drive searched with allegedly incriminating documents found. That discovery, too, was written off by the media as more “Russian propaganda.”

Grassley said that the new evidence, however, can’t be dismissed so causally by either the media or the Democrats in Congress, and that Democrats should use some of the energy that they used on investigating Trump and Russia toward looking at the ties between Biden and China.

“So, to my Democratic colleagues who falsely smeared our report: you now chair committees that have jurisdiction over these matters,” Grassley said. “I challenge you to use the same effort and energy that you exerted in the Trump/Russiainvestigation to expose the extensive ties between the communist Chinese regime and members of the Biden family.”
