James Biden revealed to Republicans leading the impeachment probe into his brother Joe that he threw out another diamond his nephew Hunter Biden received as a gift from Chinese businessmen trying to ‘entice’ him to work with them.
President Joe Biden’s brother’s revelations came out during a highly-anticipated closed-door interview on Capitol Hill Wednesday as part of Republicans’ probe into whether he profited off his son Hunter and brother Jim’s business dealings.
A source familiar with the testimony told DailyMail.com that James told investigators that Hunter was given a diamond from top officials at Chinese energy company CEFC to ‘entice’ him to do business with them while his father was vice president.
Hunter apparently gave the diamond to James to have it appraised, but he instead ‘threw it away,’ according to the source.
That would be the second known diamond the Joe’s son got from CEFC executives.
DailyMail.com previously reported that emails from Hunter’s laptop showed he received $10 million a year for three years, and a diamond worth at least $80,000 in February 2017.
Ye Jianming, the chairman of CEFC China Energy, worked with James Gilliar and Biden family associate Rob Walker to connect him with Hunter as he strived to expand the company’s influence worldwide.

RELATED: James Biden says brother Joe had ‘no direct or indirect’ role in his business during House impeachment inquiry testimony
First brother James Biden arrived Wednesday morning for his deposition in the House impeachment inquiry into President Biden’s role in family business dealings.
Published February 21, 2024
WASHINGTON — James Biden insisted Wednesday to the House impeachment inquiry that his older brother, President Biden, was innocent of corruption claims — despite many documented meetings with family associates.
James, 74, struck a defiant posture during his interview, insisting that two checks he wrote to his powerful sibling were legitimate loan repayments and that “Joe Biden has never had any involvement or any direct or indirect financial interest.”
In about eight hours of testimony, the first brother “changed his story” about when exactly he got involved in business with Chinese state-backed CEFC China Energy and revealed that the firm gave first son Hunter a diamond as a gift during his dad’s vice presidency — before later giving him a second one, a source told The Post.
James Biden said he threw away the first diamond after Hunter asked him to have it appraised.
He also said that he and Joe Biden didn’t have any written loan paperwork that would document $240,000 in allegedly loaned funds that James appeared to repay using foreign-focused business funds in 2017 and 2018 — but added that Joe Biden, 81, didn’t know anything about where those funds were sourced.
James also revealed that he received large personal loans, including from Democratic donors — and some haven’t been paid off.
The first brother immediately drew Republican scrutiny Wednesday because his opening statement appeared to conflict with existing documentation and evidence about his role in CEFC China Energy.
“James Biden initially said he was not part of a deal with Rob Walker, Hunter Biden, James Gilliar, and Tony Bobulinski but when presented with an agreement with his signature on it, he changed his story to say he did not recall signing that agreement,” the source familiar with his testimony said.
James Biden said in an opening statement that he wasn’t initially aware that he was receiving funds from the Chinese company in early 2017 after CEFC transferred $3 miillion to Walker for distribution and only “recently” learned of that fact.
Biden got $360,000 of that haul over five transfers between April 3 and May 18, 2017, according to bank records.

RELATED: James Biden Admits There is No Loan Documentation for the $200,000 ‘Loan Repayment’ Made to Joe Biden in 2018
Published February 21, 2024
Joe Biden’s slimy brother James Biden on Wednesday morning arrived on Capitol Hill for his closed-door testimony in the Biden impeachment inquiry.
James Biden denied his brother Joe Biden was involved in any direct or indirect way in his businesses in his opening statement to lawmakers.
In other words, James Biden expects us to believe he’s just a brilliant businessman who happens to know Chinese billionaire tycoons with ties to the CCP, high-profile healthcare executives and other oligarchs.
James Biden told lawmakers on Wednesday that there is no loan documentation for the “interest-free” loans provided by Joe Biden.
Joe Biden previously refused to hand over loan documents to the House Oversight Committee proving any ‘loans’ he provided to his brother James Biden.
The House Oversight Committee has no IRS records or loan documents confirming the $200,000 check Jim Biden wrote to his brother Joe Biden in 2018 was a ‘loan repayment.’
House Oversight Chairman James Comer demanded IRS records and applicable loan documents proving Joe Biden loaned his brother James money.
The Bidens often structure their income as ‘loans’ to avoid paying taxes. We saw this with a $5 million wire described as an ‘interest-free loan’ (a way for Hunter to avoid paying taxes) from a Chinese firm. The Bidens then shuffle the dirty money around to each other as ‘loan repayments.’ This is classic tax evasion, money laundering, and influence-peddling.
James Comer recently uncovered a $200,000 direct payment to Joe Biden.
In 2018, Jim Biden received $600,000 in ‘loans’ from Americore Health LLC, a failing/bankrupt rural hospital operator. According to bankruptcy documents, Jim Biden received the loans “based upon representations that his last name Biden could open doors and that he could obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections.”
On March 1, 2018, Americore Health LLC wired a $200,000 payment to Jim and Sara Biden’s personal bank account. On that very same day, Jim Biden then wrote a $200,000 check to Joe Biden, AKA, “The Big Guy.”
Biden won’t hand over the loan documentation because they don’t exist, according to James Biden.
