port of its impeachment against him for high crimes and 
misdemeanors. 
ARTICLE I: ABUSE OF POWER, BRIBERY, HOBBS ACT 
EXTORTION & HONEST SERVICES FRAUD 
Robert Hunter Biden (Hunter Biden) and James 
Biden sold access to then Vice President Joseph Robinette 
Biden, Jr., (Joe Biden) while he was in office from 2009 
to 2017 and sold promised access to a future Biden Presi-
dential Administration while he was out of office from 
2017 to 2021. Hunter and James Biden appear to have 
promised official actions by Joe Biden in return for pay-
ments and business opportunities from foreign and domes-
tic business partners. Joe Biden assisted by making ap-
pearances, phone calls, meeting with the business part-
ners, and knowingly allowing his family members to prom-
ise access to him and actions by him in furtherance of 
these schemes. 
Hunter Biden threatened business partners that offi-
cial actions could be taken against them if they did not 
meet terms or make payments. In at least one instance, 
Hunter implied that Joe Biden was aware of these threats 
and willing to assist in enforcing the threats, potentially 
through official actions. Hunter Biden attempted to enrich 
himself and the Biden family by threatening official ac-
tions from his father, who he claims was willing to assist 
in these schemes.

These acts are abuses of power as well as the fol-
lowing Federal crimes or conspiracy to commit the fol-
lowing Federal crimes: Bribery of Public Officials, 18 
U.S.C. 201; Hobbs Act Extortion ‘‘Under Color of Official 
Right,’’ 18 U.S.C. 1951; Honest Services Fraud relating 
to use of official position, 18 U.S.C. 1346. 
(1) According to reports released by the U.S. 
House of Representatives Oversight and Account-
ability Committee (Oversight Committee) James 
Biden promised access to a future Biden Adminis-
tration and ‘‘the highest levels of government’’ and 
that his brother Joe Biden had been made aware of 
his business dealings, which would be made profit-
able when it could become part of the Biden plat-
form. James Biden would often explain over the 
phone that Joe Biden was in the room with him, and 
James Biden had been explaining the deal to him. 
(2) Also, according to reports released by the 
Oversight Committee, Hunter Biden, James Biden, 
Hallie Biden, and an unknown ‘‘Biden’’ and their 
companies collectively received $1.3 million in pay-
ments from accounts related to Rob Walker, a Biden 
family associate. On March 1, 2017, less than two 
months after Vice President Joe Biden left public of-
fice, State Energy HK Limited, a Chinese company,

wired $3 million to Rob Walker’s company. The next 
day, the company wired $1,065,000 to a company 
associated with James Gilliar, another Biden family 
associate. Afterwards, the Biden family received ap-
proximately $1,065,000 in payments over a 3-month 
period in different bank accounts. From the bank 
records, it appears that the Biden family received 
approximately one-third of the money obtained from 
wires from China. 
(3) Previously, in a 2011 email, Hunter Biden 
described his value to Chinese investors as ‘‘every-
thing to do with my last name’’. In another cor-
respondence with Chinese investors, Hunter said 
‘‘we should be able to achieve a great deal. Just give 
me my marching orders’’. 
(4) In 2014 Russian oligarch Elena Baturina 
paid a company connected to Hunter Biden over $3 
million. Also in 2014, Elena Baturina attended a 
dinner with Hunter Biden and Joe Biden in the 
Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC. Nota-
bly, Elana Baturina, one of Russia’s wealthiest indi-
viduals, has not been included in the Treasury De-
partment sanctions against many of Russia’s other 
wealthiest people.

•HRES 652 IH 
(5) Additionally, the Biden family received im-
proper payments from Ukrainian energy company 
Burisma. Hunter Biden received millions of dollars 
in payments from Burisma from serving on its 
board. These payments were made entirely based on 
Hunter Biden’s connections to Joe Biden and prom-
ised access to Joe Biden. 
(6) In 2015, then Vice President Joe Biden at-
tended a dinner in the Georgetown neighborhood of 
Washington, DC, with Burisma executives and Hun-
ter Biden. At the time, Hunter was receiving over 
$80,000 a month from Burisma based on no other 
reason than access to his father. 
(7) Several officials in the Obama Administra-
tion specifically flagged these payments from 
Burisma to Hunter Biden as corrupt. In early 2015, 
the former Acting Deputy Chief of Mission at the 
U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine, George Kent, raised 
concerns to officials in Vice President Joe Biden’s 
office about the perception of a conflict of interest 
with respect to Hunter Biden’s role on Burisma’s 
board. In October 2015, senior State Department 
official Amos Hochstein raised concerns with Vice 
President Biden, as well as with Hunter Biden, that 
Hunter Biden’s position on Burisma’s board enabled

Russian disinformation efforts and risked under-
mining U.S. policy in Ukraine. 
(8) In an August 2023 interview, Devon Ar-
cher, a business partner of Hunter Biden, said 
claims that Joe Biden was not involved in Hunter’s 
business deals with foreign partners were false. 
(9) In testimony before Congress, Devon Archer 
admitted that Burisma would have likely gone out of 
business had it not been for the Biden brand being 
attached to it. He also testified that Biden was rou-
tinely put on conference calls with Hunter Biden’s 
foreign associates to ‘‘sell the brand’’. 
ARTICLE II: OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE 
According to testimony from IRS whistleblowers, 
members of the Biden campaign colluded with Justice De-
partment (DOJ) officials to improperly interfere with in-
vestigations into tax crimes alleged to have been com-
mitted by Hunter Biden. 
These acts constitute an abuse of power as well as 
Obstruction of Justice, 18 U.S.C. 1505, 1510, 1512. 
(1) After Joe Biden became the presumptive 
Democrat Nominee in 2020, career DOJ officials 
began stalling the Hunter Biden investigations in 
Delaware. This continued into the Biden Adminis-
tration.

(2) DOJ took unusual steps such as removing 
Hunter Biden’s name from warrants and court fil-
ings. 
(3) DOJ refused to pursue search warrants or 
evidence contained at Joe Biden’s guest house. 
(4) DOJ refused to pursue search warrants in 
general against Hunter Biden even though legal re-
quirements had been met. 
(5) FBI and IRS agents prepared for inter-
views with multiple subjects including Hunter Biden 
on December 8, 2020. These were to be unan-
nounced interviews where the agents showed up and 
asked questions if the subjects were willing to an-
swer. FBI or DOJ officials tipped off the Biden 
transition team. As a result, Hunter Biden’s attor-
ney became involved and most of the interviews did 
not proceed as planned. 
(6) DOJ made decisions relating to formal ac-
tions, such as venue and filing charges, and related 
to internal review processes that were out of the or-
dinary during the Hunter Biden case. The IRS 
whistleblower indicated these actions were unlike ac-
tions taken in any other case he had worked on. He 
indicated that these unusual steps all began after

Biden became the presumptive 2020 Democrat 
nominee. 
ARTICLE III: FRAUD 
James Biden recruited ‘‘investors’’ for business ven-
tures that ultimately failed. There is evidence to suggest 
that these investment opportunities were sold to investors 
based on false and fraudulent pretenses and promises. Ac-
cess to Joe Biden and indications that Joe Biden sup-
ported these schemes were used to lure investors into the 
schemes. 
These acts constitute fraud or conspiracy to commit 
fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1943, 1949. 
(1) Specifically, in 2019 an American business, 
Americore Health, LLC, partnered with James 
Biden to help lead the company and develop busi-
ness through his political connections. Americore 
was in the business of purchasing and improving the 
efficiency of rural hospitals. James approached var-
ious businesses in the medical field around the coun-
try to enter into business partnerships with him and/ 
or Americore Health in return for expanding the size 
and reach of those businesses. According to one wit-
ness, James allegedly promised both Americore and 
investors millions of dollars that he claimed var-
iously to be coming from the Middle East, Russia, 
or China. However, the business owners were cut out

of the deals as James gained knowledge of their op-
erations. James deceived investors and attempted to 
abscond with proprietary processes to enrich himself 
by delivering the information to Turkish investors. 
(2) Without the ‘‘Biden Brand.’’ promise of ac-
cess to Joe Biden, or the appearance of Joe Biden’s 
support of this venture, James Biden would not have 
been able to secure investors or business partners 
for this venture. Joe Biden routinely allowed and ac-
tively assisted his family in using his name and the 
promise of access to him to secure business for the 
family. Furthermore, Joe Biden mixed and comin-
gled his finances with the rest of his family during 
this time period and likely financially benefited from 
this scheme. 
ARTICLE IV: FINANCIAL INVOLVEMENT IN DRUG AND 
PROSTITUTION ACTIVITIES 
Joe Biden and Hunter Biden have a long history of 
comingled and intertwined finances. Between 2010 and 
2019 thousands of dollars of Biden family money was 
spent on illegal drug transactions and prostitution. 
These acts constitute violations of or conspiracy to 
violate federal drug laws at 21 U.S.C. 841, 842, 843, 846 
and federal prostitution laws at 18 U.S.C. 2421, 2421A, 
2422.

(1) 2010 emails between Hunter Biden and 
business associate Eric Schwerin reference Hunter 
paying bills on behalf of Joe Biden and managing 
Joe Biden’s finances. 
(2) 2018 texts between Hunter Biden and his 
daughter referenced Hunter Biden sending half his 
salary to Joe Biden and paying much of the family’s 
bills. 
(3) A 2018 text from Hunter Biden references 
a shared bank account with Joe Biden. 
(4) Hunter Biden routinely received money 
from and sent money to Joe Biden. 
(5) Both Hunter and Joe Biden had their fi-
nances largely managed by business associate Eric 
Schwerin, who would write checks from one Biden 
on behalf of the other and routinely intermingled 
their finances. 
(6) Between November 2018 and March 2019, 
a Florida student named Anna Dekhtiar received 
over $274,873 in payments flagged as suspicious ac-
tivity by a Suspicious Activity Report. The money 
came from eight senders, including Hunter Biden’s 
company Owasco, P.C. Additionally, two of the other 
depositors were women that text messages found on 
Hunter Biden’s laptop suggest were prostitutes that

he hired. Some of these funds were then sent onto 
‘‘Moreva,’’ a company that Hunter Biden paid to 
hire prostitutes. 
(7) Between November 2018 and March 2019, 
Hunter Biden appears to have spent at least 
$30,000 dollars on prostitutes. 
(8) In December 2018, Hunter Biden booked 
train tickets for three prostitutes from Boston to 
New York where he was staying. 
(9) In 2018 Hunter Biden attempted to write 
off payments to prostitutes and a sex club as tax de-
ductions. 
(10) In May 2018, Hunter Biden wired a pros-
titute $25,000. He received a text from an ex-Secret 
Service agent who he and his father had hired for 
private security asking about the transaction. The 
agent alerted Hunter that he was getting calls ‘‘from 
DC’’ about the transaction and that there was ‘‘a 
link’’ to his father’s account. 
(11) Hunter Biden has on numerous occasions 
admitted routine drug use between the years of 2010 
and 2018. There are numerous images, videos, and 
electronic communications that support this claim. 
His drug use necessitated the routine purchase of 
large dollar amounts of illegal drugs.

(12) In a recorded phone call between Hunter 
Biden and Hallie Biden (his sister-in-law turned 
lover) 
drug 
purchases 
were 
discussed 
and 
strategized. 
(13) In other electronic communications, pre-
vious drug purchases are referenced. 
(14) Given the intermingled finances of Joe 
Biden and Hunter Biden, Joe Biden financially sup-
ported and should have been aware of these drug 
transactions and prostitutions transactions. Many of 
these transactions would have occurred using ac-
counts with a nexus to Joe Biden. 
In all of this, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., has under-
mined the integrity of his office, has brought disrepute 
on the Presidency, has betrayed his trust as President, 
and has acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law 
and justice, to the manifest injury of the people of the 
United States. 
Wherefore, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., by such con-
duct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from 
office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of 
honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
