The top lawyer for the Biden family, Abbe Lowell, has previously represented Chinese nationals connected to international drug trafficking, raising concerns about conflicts of interest.
Lowell defended Hunter Biden and also represented Ng Lap Seng, a member of the Chinese triad organized crime group.
Another of Lowell’s clients was accused of being a Chinese intelligence officer.
Peter Schweizer’s new book argues these connections are troubling given controversies around Biden family acceptance of money from Chinese companies and the administration’s response to the fentanyl crisis.
Schweizer asserts Biden and Secretary of State Blinken have failed to hold China accountable for its role in the surge of fentanyl deaths in the U.S., with Blinken making excuses for Beijing.
Schweizer wrote in his book, “Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans”, “[A]ccording to officially released notes of the conversations he [Biden] has had with President Xi, he has not raised the subject with the Chinese president as of this writing. When the so-called monkeypox virus emerged in 2022, the virus received ‘czar’ status in the White House, even though, at the time, it had not claimed a single American life. Fentanyl gets no ‘czar’ status at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And China has not been called to account.”
He continued, “In late 2022, the Biden administration named twenty-two countries as being transit points for drugs or producers of drugs. One country not on the list? China. In announcing his administration’s drug strategy, Biden could only promise, ‘We will look to expand cooperation with China . . . to disrupt the global flow of synthetic drugs and their precursor chemicals.’”
“Biden’s secretary of state, Antony Blinken, has made excuses for Beijing, absurdly arguing that some of the precursors arriving in Mexico from China have been shipped by accident. He cautiously added that mentioning precursor shipments from China was ‘not about pointing fingers,’” wrote Shweizer in his book.
Former President Trump has criticized Biden over lucrative business deals involving Hunter and James Biden that landed payments from Chinese corporations.
