Jim Biden, the younger brother of Joe, was hired to negotiate a secret deal with the Saudi government on behalf of a U.S. construction company because of his family connection with the then-vice president. That’s not a rumor, that’s documented in bombshell affidavits.
The more that comes out about Biden, Inc., the more corrupt the Biden family business dealings look. Jim Biden trades on the family name as Hunter Biden does. Jim Biden was selected to negotiate a $140 million settlement in a secret deal between Hill International and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2012. Joe Biden was vice-president and Jim was chosen because Saudi Arabia “would not dare stiff the brother of the Vice-President who would be instrumental to the deal.” That tidbit is found in an affidavit.
The Daily Mail alleges that Jim admitted that the Biden name “didn’t hurt” in getting the job, even though he had no experience in the construction business. That sounds like Hunter getting the Burisma deal despite having zero experience in the oil and gas industry, right? It’s the last name and the proximity to Joe Biden that was appealing. Jim’s wife, Sara, an attorney, admits that Joe and Jim “told each other everything.” So much for the lie that Joe keeps telling about not knowing anything about the business dealings of his brother and son.
According to the documents, Jim told a former senior US Treasury official working as a private investigator that he was hired to negotiate with the Saudis ‘because of his position and relationship’ to VP Joe Biden – who led delegations to Saudi Arabia at the time.
In an affidavit the former Treasury official, Thomas Sullivan, described his sit-down interview with Jim Biden about being hired to negotiate with the Saudis.
Sullivan claimed the President’s brother told him: ‘Of course, the [Biden] name didn’t hurt’, and Jim’s wife Sara, who was present, allegedly said that Joe and his brother ‘told each other everything.’
‘[Biden] stated that he was often sent to meetings to represent Hill because ‘of course, the name didn’t hurt,’ and he was the former Vice-President’s brother, or words to that effect. He repeated this statement at least twice during the interview.
‘I asked specifically if he had attended a meeting with the Saudi Ministry of Trade in mid-February 2012 to receive the final payment for the work Hill had performed. He answered that, to the best of his memory, he had been at such a meeting, and that the reason he had attended was “because of his position and relationship” with his brother.’
