The corrupt Biden family is accused of abusing their power and influence to amass a fortune for themselves.
It wasn’t just Joe and Hunter Biden’s shady overseas business dealings. We have learned that Joe’s brother, James, and his younger sister Valerie have also been cashing in.
Valerie Biden Owens’s husband, John Owens or “Jack,” sent an email to Hunter in 2014 to get help in China.
Valerie and her husband were looking to expand his telemedicine company into China, but he needed a Chinese business license “secured very quickly.”
“Time pressures are very tight, plus the fact that we do not yet have one has caused a slight credibility bump in the company’s mind,” Valerie’s husband told Hunter.
“This all translates into a need for a Business License, and one secured very quickly,” Owens wrote. “While this might seem to be a mundane task, I have come to understand that matters such as a Business License can end up taking an inordinate amount of time… time we just do not have.”
In response, Hunter forwarded the request to his business partners with close ties to the Chinese communist government. “Is there a way we can help him expedite this? Time is of the essence here,” Hunter wrote in an email.
It appears that Owen’s business expanded into China and receive sufficient legal coverage. According to the company website, MediGuide is legally represented in China by AnyHealth Shanghai.
Another email shows that Owens also took advantage of connections within the Obama-Biden administration to help expand his business and personal wealth. At one event, Owens received an invitation to attend the State Department luncheon honoring Chinese President Xi Jinping, which was hosted by Biden.
In the email, Owens mentions Biden’s sister Valerie and explains that they passed up on other events, but “this is a bit different.” Owens asked if the White House has his picture and information for the event honoring the Chinese president.
Most recently, Valerie is cashing in by releasing a new memoir, despite the White House’s policy that “Biden’s name should not be used in connection with any commercial activities to suggest” or “in any way imply his endorsement or support.”
Nonetheless, Valerie is kicking off a new book tour in Washington, D.C.
This appears to violate the White House’s ethics policy and it could create another headache for the scandal-plagued administration.
More on Valerie’s book deal via Fox News:
Valerie Biden Owens, a longtime campaign adviser and political confidante to Biden, will be releasing her memoir titled, “Growing Up Biden: A Memoir” next Tuesday. The book includes a childhood photo of her, Joe Biden, their two brothers, and their mother on the book cover. Not only did Owens serve as Biden’s campaign manager for all seven of his successful Senate campaigns, but she also advised Biden during all three presidential campaigns and has played an integral role in his family’s life.
The upcoming book tour and expected media blitz of Owens’ memoir about growing up as a Biden comes a little over a year after the transition team’s lawyers told Vice President-elect Harris’s niece she could no longer produce clothing or write any new books with Harris’s name or likeness, the Los Angeles Times reported in early 2021.
During Biden’s second presidential campaign in 2007 and 2008, Owens served as her brother’s national campaign chair. It does not appear that Biden’s campaign paid her directly, but the Democratic consulting firm Joe Slade White & Company, where Owens was serving as an “Executive Vice President,” raked in over $2.5 million from Biden’s presidential campaign and the “Citizens for Biden” committee between March 2007 and October 2008.
Owens’ daughter, Valerie J. Owens, who goes by “Missy,” also cashed in by working for her uncle’s presidential campaign, where she made tens of thousands of dollars.
Missy would go on to score multiple high-level positions during the Obama-Biden administration. She served as the deputy chief of staff in the Energy Department between Feb. 2009 and June 2011, according to her LinkedIn page. She then served a year as the chief of staff to the deputy Commerce secretary for a year. Owens then worked at Coca-Cola in its government relations department for a decade, including while the company was reportedly lobbying against a bill cracking down on the use of Uyghur forced labor in China. Two months ago, General Motors hired her to a senior position in the company’s regulatory affairs department.
Valerie’s other daughter, Casey, also got a job in the Obama-Biden administration, serving as a special assistant to the senior coordinator for China at the Treasury Department for over two years. Her LinkedIn says she “managed a range of workstreams essential to the execution of the US-China Strategic & Economic Dialogue – one of the largest bilateral foreign economic policy initiatives of the Obama Administration.” She would later work up the corporate ladder at Starbucks, where she is now a vice president.
Near the end of the Obama-Biden administration, Missy reached out to her first cousin and then-Vice President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, about helping her mother get a position in the administration, saying it would be “good for her” and that she “needs it more than I do right now,” according to emails reviewed by Fox News Digital. A little over a year later, Owens was appointed to a four-month ceremonial position serving as “an Alternate Representative of the United States to the 71st Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations,” which paid approximately $26,000.
