<p>President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter for his involvement in shady business deals, but the president’s own brother, Jim, was involved in many of those same deals.</p>
<p>Joe pardoned Hunter on Sunday for any crimes “he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014, through December 1, 2024, including but not limited to all offenses charged or prosecuted (including any that have resulted in convictions).”</p>
<p>The pardon dates back to 2014 – when Joe Biden was vice president of the United States – which might lead one to question whether there is another Biden family member who could be in legal jeopardy.</p>
<p>In April 2014, Hunter was appointed to the board of a Ukrainian energy company despite having no qualifications. Even before that, however, Hunter was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-bidens-son-partnered-some-interesting-people-ashe-schow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> involved in business dealings with China. In 2017, Hunter and Joe’s brother James were pursuing a deal with a Chinese energy company, CEFC China Energy, along with a business associate, Tony Bobulinski.</p>
<p><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1732727087136000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3Ao27zcTCGutKhTz_xpaKC"><b>CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE</b></a></p>
<p>James was referred for criminal prosecution over his alleged lying about his involvement in this deal, The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-and-james-biden-referred-by-congress-for-criminal-prosecution-over-provably-false-statements" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. James was interviewed during an impeachment inquiry and reportedly lied to investigators, according to the House Republican’s referral.</p>
<p>“With respect to James Biden, he stated unequivocally during his transcribed interview that Joe Biden did not meet with Mr. Tony Bobulinski, a business associate of James and Hunter Biden, in 2017 while pursuing a deal with a Chinese entity, CEFC China Energy,” the referral letter said. “Specifically, James Biden stated he did not attend a meeting with Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Tony Bobulinski on May 2, 2017 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. These statements were contradicted not only by Mr. Bobulinski, but Hunter Biden. Mr. Bobulinski also produced text messages that establish the events leading up to and immediately following his meeting with Joe Biden on May 2, 2017.”</p>
<p>In 2022, it was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-son-brother-had-150-transactions-involving-global-business-flagged-as-concerning-by-u-s-banks-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Hunter and James had more than 150 transactions involving their global business dealings that were flagged as concerning by U.S. banks. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) <a href="https://x.com/C__Herridge/status/1511849541783683075?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1511849541783683075%7Ctwgr%5Ed9539c4668a0b967ecf3986e5e237107c901c3fb%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fbiden-son-brother-had-150-transactions-involving-global-business-flagged-as-concerning-by-u-s-banks-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> CBS News at the time that he believed James was heavily involved in Hunter’s business ventures in China, telling the outlet, “I think James Biden was very much a part of this.”</p>
<p>Though Grassley wouldn’t say that the Bidens had committed any crimes by receiving millions of dollars from China, he did find it “very concerning.”</p>
<p>“We have people with the Biden name, dealing with Chinese business people that have a relationship to the Communist Party,” Grassley said at the time.</p>
<p>The bank records were part of a years-long investigation into Hunter and James’ business records – an investigation that began in 2014.</p>
<p>Hunter is set to be sentenced for federal gun crimes, which is likely why he was pardoned on Sunday by his father. James Biden isn’t facing imminent prosecution or sentencing, so President Biden could wait before issuing a similar pardon for his brother.</p>
