President Biden son, Hunter Biden made a $30,000 payment to a Ukrainian woman linked to an Eastern European escort ring, according to a report by the Washington Examiner.
The payments were flagged by JPMorgan Chase in late 2018 and early 2019 in a report filed with the federal government, the Washington Examiner cited a new report.
Hunter pays model agency
Hunter spent
over $30,000 on escorts, many of whom were linked to “.ru” Russian email
addresses, who worked with a “model agency” called UberGFE between November
2018 and March 2019, the Washington Examiner reported.
Hunter had
told members of his family that he was broke at the time, but made payments to
the escorts after receiving a total wire payment of $100,000 from President Joe
Biden to help him pay his bills from December 2018 through January 2019.
Republican senators react
Top
Republican senators had demanded that the Department of Justice in a letter
Thursday investigate Joe Biden’s unintended financing of his son’s
participation in the Eastern European escort ring, prompting the release of the
suspicious activity report, or SAR.
The
Washington Examiner reported that Hunter Biden’s payments to an UberGFE escort
named Anna Dekhtiar, a Ukrainian citizen, between November 2018 and March 2019
were flagged in the JPMorgan Chase SAR published by the Daily Mail.
Dekhtiar received over $200,000
The SAR said
Dekhtiar received a combined $274,873 between November 2018 and March 2019 from
eight bank accounts, one of which was linked to Hunter Biden’s company Owasco
PC, for “no clear, legitimate economic purpose,” the conservative news website
reported.
"Furthermore,
there were instances where cash deposits appear structured in attempts to avoid
[currency transaction report] filing since they are large round dollar cash
transactions conducted on same, consecutive, or near consecutive days in
aggregate amounts exceeding the CTR threshold," the SAR stated.
Emails Corroborate payments
Emails from
Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop show that he added Dekhtiar as an authorized
recipient to receive wires from his Wells Fargo bank account on December 8,
2019. Hunter later sent three payments to Dekhtiar ranging from $300 to $600.
The
conservative news website said the Daily Mail obtained the SAR from the Marco
Polo nonprofit research group which the outlet said had obtained the document
from a leak.
Dekhtiar reportedly
forwarded a portion of the funds to another Ukrainian citizen named Ekaterina
Moreva, the person who sold Hunter Biden time with UberGFE escorts, the
Washington Examiner cited the SAR.
UberGFE escort identified in SAR
An UberGFE
escort who Hunter filmed himself accosting at a Boston, Massachusetts, cabin on
January 18, 2019 was also identified in the SAR.
Hunter also
asked the escort in the 83-second video if he had ever hurt her, and said he
was "sorry that it took so long to give you $10,000."
Hunter made payments to people involved in possible prostitution or human trafficking
Sen. Chuck
Grassley (R-IA) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said in a 2020 report that Hunter
Biden had “sent thousands of dollars” to people involved in “transactions
consisted with possible human trafficking” or “potential association with
prostitution,” according to the Washington Examiner.
