CNN news anchor Erin Burnett admitted that evidence revealing that the Biden family received over a million dollars from accounts linked to Hunter Biden’s Chinese business dealings does not “look good” for the president’s family.
On her CNN program “Erin Burnett OutFront,” Burnett was discussing financial records revealing members of the Biden family payment from a CCP-linked company.
When Burnett asked her guest Ryan Goodman, co-editor-in-chief of “Just Security,” about the revelations, she admitted to him they don’t “look good.”
Goodman responded saying that while nothing “damaging legally” is likely to be found in the records, they may be “possibly unethical.”
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky) revealed on Thursday that on March 1, 2017 — just weeks after Joe Biden left office as Barack Obama’s VP— State Energy HK Limited, a firm affiliated with Chinese Communist Party-backed energy company CEFC China Energy, wired $3 million to Biden family associate Rob Walker.

CNN didn’t accept The Post’s scoop of Hunter Biden’s laptop was real before doing a 180 in Aug. 2022.
The Post exclusively revealed Thursday that Biden’s daughter-in-law Hallie received $35,000 in early from a Chinese energy company, according to bank records released by Comer.
“On a certain level, just as a layperson, you hear this and it doesn’t sound good,” Burnett said on the show.
Burnett’s comments came during a discussion with her guest Ryan Goodman, co-editor-in-chief of “Just Security.” FilmMagic“There’s a guy whose name is John Robinson Walker. He gets three million dollars from a Chinese space company and proceeds to wire it out to a bunch of people named Biden, one of whom is Hunter Biden, another one is a company that belongs to the president’s brother James Biden, and another amount of money to Beau Biden’s widow, Hallie,” she continued.
“So again, from a layperson, that doesn’t look good,” she continued before asking Goodman if he found the records to be “damaging legally.”
“Not necessarily damaging legally like when I look at all of the facts alleged in the four-page memo, it looks potentially unethical,” he responded. “But it’s difficult to match it up with any illegality or crime.”
Where the money went
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer revealed on Thursday that on March 1, 2017 — less than two months after Joe Biden left office as Barack Obama’s vice president — State Energy HK Limited, a firm affiliated with Chinese Communist Party-backed energy company CEFC China Energy, wired $3 million to Biden family associate Rob Walker.
The windfall was subsequently divvied up over a period of about three months to at least three members of the Biden clan, and two Biden family associates.
Here’s how the $3 million from China was distributed, according to Comer (R-Ky.):
- James Gilliar: $1,065,000
- John “Rob” Walker: $869,308
- Hunter Biden: $610,692
- James Biden: $360,000
- Hallie Biden: $25,000
- Unknown Biden: $70,000
