The House Oversight Committee’s top Democrat issued a report Thursday describing $7.8 million in foreign government-linked payments to Donald Trump’s businesses for hotel stays and office leases during his four-year presidency — attempting to counter Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into President Biden’s role in his relatives’ foreign dealings.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) wrote in an introduction to the 156-page report that “Donald Trump, while holding the office of president, used his business entities to pocket millions of dollars from foreign states and royalty.”
Republicans have traced tens of millions of dollars in cashflows from countries such as China, Kazakhstan, Romania, Russia and Ukraine to President Biden’s son Hunter, brother James and other relatives during and immediately after his vice presidency — and say the president has repeatedly lied about his interactions with their foreign associates while steering US policy toward those countries.
But Raskin, who has led Democrats in attempting to redirect the Biden impeachment inquiry by raising questions about Trump’s conduct, wrote that his report “allows America to glimpse the rampant illegality and corruption of the Trump presidency.”
The document is likely to be heavily cited by Democrats during expected debate later this year over articles of impeachment against Biden for alleged corruption and obstruction of congressional inquiries.
