On Wednesday of last week Reuters revealed the bombshell that of the oil from the U.S. emergency reserves that President Joe Biden promised were to “ease the pain that families are feeling” in the United States, more than 5 million barrels of oil were sent overseas. Part of that release from the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) was sent to China. The Chinese recipient of that oil has ties to President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.

On Thursday, the Washington Free Beacon published specific details: “The Biden administration sold roughly one million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese state-controlled gas giant that continues to purchase Russian oil, a move the Energy Department said would ‘support American consumers’ and combat ‘Putin’s price hike.’”

The Chinese state-controlled gas giant, together with the President’s son, have engaged in “years of potentially criminal business activity embroiling the Biden White House in scandal since the 2020 campaign” reports The Federalist.

The Federalist writes:

“Biden’s Energy Department in April announced the sale of 950,000 Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to Unipec, the trading arm of the China Petrochemical Corporation. That company, which is commonly known as Sinopec, is wholly owned by the Chinese government.”

 Sinopec is also tied to Hunter Biden, whose private equity firm, BHR Partners, bought a $1.7 billion stake in the company seven years ago.

Hunter Biden’s lawyer told the New York Times in November that the president’s son, “no longer holds any interest, directly or indirectly, in either BHR or Skaneateles.”

According to the Washington Examiner, however, Hunter Biden remained listed as a part-owner of the firm as late as March.

“Business records from China’s National Credit Information Publicity System accessed Tuesday continue to identify Skaneateles as a 10% owner in BHR, and Washington, D.C., business records continue to list Biden as the only beneficial owner of Skaneateles,” the paper reported. “The White House has routinely deflected questions about Biden’s business dealings to his attorneys, who have remained largely mum.”

“It’s possible that China’s business registry hasn’t yet been updated to reflect a potential transfer or sale of Skaneateles’s 10% stake in BHR to another party,” the Examiner added.

Biden’s Energy Department has thus far refused compliance with requests under the Freedom of Information Act probing the administration’s improper use of the nation’s strategic oil reserves maintained for emergencies.

“Last week, the Functional Government Initiative, a nonprofit government watchdog, filed a lawsuit to compel records concerning administration officials’ decision to tap the oil reserves in the absence of a sudden disruption in supply such as a hurricane or cyberattack” reports The Federalist.

Equally infuriating, “by the end of Biden’s latest release from the emergency stockpile, the president will have depleted 260 million barrels from the nation’s reserves” adds The Federalist. “In May, the Department of Energy announced efforts to replenish only 60 million barrels of what’s been released, despite an authorized storage capacity of 714 million barrels. The Energy Information Administration reported that just more than 492,000 barrels remained in storage on July 1, exactly one month into the six-month hurricane season.”
