Questions Raised Over Omitted Russian Oligarch Sanctions and Biden Family Links
-
Two Russian oligarchs with ties to Hunter Biden were spared from the latest round of US financial sanctions on Russia.
-
Yelena Baturina, who wired $3.5 million to a company controlled by Hunter Biden, and Vladimir Yevtushenkov were not included on the sanctions list.
-
Baturina's payment to Biden's company is unexplained. She also invested $120 million with a firm associated with Biden and attended a dinner with Joe Biden and Hunter's business associates.
-
Yevtushenkov met with Hunter Biden in 2012 and 2013 to discuss a potential real estate investment, hoping to leverage Biden's connections at the Justice Department which was investigating Yevtushenkov's company.
-
House Republicans are investigating Joe Biden's links to his son and relatives' foreign business dealings in light of the omitted sanctions.
