James Biden, brother of Joe Biden and Republicans' 12th witness, testified before House lawmakers, denying any direct or indirect financial interest in activities related to the impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden. However, his testimony revealed inconsistencies, particularly regarding financial transactions involving Hunter Biden and former business associate Rob Walker in the spring of 2017. James Biden admitted to receiving short-term loans from Joe Biden and payments from Hunter Biden through Rob Walker, which he claimed were unknown to him as originating from CEFC, a Chinese energy company. He also mentioned repaying a $40,000 loan to his brother, the then vice president, without documentation or interest. His account conflicted with Rob Walker's testimony, who recalled Hunter Biden's instructions to send money to James Biden. House GOP members accused James Biden of contradicting his own statements during the deposition, especially when confronted with evidence, leading to allegations of the Biden family's inability to maintain a consistent narrative. Critics labeled James Biden a liar for repeatedly contradicting himself, particularly when his own signature was presented as evidence.

“I remember Jim calling me to ask me if I could send him more, and I would clear it with Hunter first. And then Hunter would say yes, and then I would send it to Jim,” Mr. Walker told lawmakers during his deposition. https://t.co/c6S9WOmONx

In his transcribed interview before @JudiciaryGOP and @GOPoversight, James Biden initially peddled one story — but when he was shown a document that proved otherwise, he then conveniently "did not recall." The Biden family STILL cannot get their story straight. https://t.co/tD6UPq6j12
