Hunter Biden’s Ex-Wife Dishes On Couple’s Marriage, Business Dealings
Kathleen Buhle, Hunter Biden’s ex-wife, dished on their marriage in a tell-all memoir called, “If We Break.”
“Buhle and Hunter got married back in 1993, split in 2015, and finalized their divorce in April 2017 — weeks after Hunter revealed that he was in a relationship with his late brother Beau Biden’s widow, Hallie Biden. That relationship ended in 2019, and in May 2019, Hunter wed South African filmmaker Melissa Cohen and the couple welcomed their first child together, a son named Beau, in March 2020,” People reported last year.
The book details Buhle’s side of the story regarding her divorce from Hunter Biden and how their split played out in court.
“In February 2017, Buhle alleged in a legal filing that her estranged ex had spent money on drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, and strip clubs. Buhle’s book doesn’t shy away from those previous disclosures; instead, it will shine a light on the heavy toll addiction can take on relationships, according to the book’s publisher,” the report stated.
Now, some of what Kathleen Buhle revealed is at the center of Hunter Biden being put under investigation.
“Divorce lawyers for Hunter Biden and his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle were aware of money hitting Hunter’s bank account from a Romania deal, emails show, appearing to contradict Buhle’s previous claims she had her ‘head buried in the sand’ when it came to Hunter’s finances,” it was reported.
James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said on Thursday that fresh bank records his panel anticipates obtaining would show that the Biden family collected as much as $30 million from foreigners.
“We have more bank records coming in, we’re going to exceed $10 million this week. And I think we’ll get up to between $20 and 30 million,” Comer said when asked by Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo about how much money the committee has been able to identify as being obtained by President Biden’s family members from overseas sources.
“Comer has identified nine members of the Biden clan — including first son Hunter Biden, the president’s brother James Biden, his brother’s wife, Sara Biden, the widow of the president’s late son, Hallie Biden, Hunter’s current wife, Melissa Cohen Biden, and Hunter’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle — as having allegedly received foreign income,” the New York Post reported.
The panel obtained the records from Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, HSBC, and Cathay Bank after Comer issued subpoenas.
“We’re going to continue to follow the money,” Comer vowed. “This is going to be hard for Joe Biden to explain,” he said of the evidence of influence-peddling his committee has uncovered.
Comer provided an update late last month about the panel’s ongoing probes into the president and his family regarding alleged influence-peddling schemes, saying that GOP investigators have managed to obtain a wealth of new information involving monetary transfers from several more countries.

REVEALED: FBI Retaliated Against Two Nunes Staffers in 2017 While They were Investigating Bureau for Russia Collusion Hoax – Seized Their Google Emails
The FBI spied on two of then-GOP Rep. Devin Nunes’s staffers while they were investigating the bureau for misconduct related to Spygate.
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan sent FBI Director Christopher Wray a letter suggesting the Bureau retaliated against two of Nunes’s staffers for the House Intel’s oversight of the FBI.
Recall, Nunes, who served as the House Intel Committee’s chairman from January 2015 to January 2019, vigorously investigated Russiagate.
Nunes investigated the FBI’s role in Russiagate/Spygate and released a memo revealing Hillary Clinton’s fake dossier formed an essential part in obtaining FISA warrants to spy on Trump.
Chairman Nunes’s damning 4-page FISA memo clearly pointed out the FISA court was misled by then-FBI Director James Comey, Sally Yates, Rod Rosenstein, and Andrew McCabe.
Jim Jordan on Thursday said in 2017, Google received subpoenas for private records and emails belonging to two Republican staffers on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) while the HPSCI was investigating the FBI’s misconduct.
“These subpoenas only came to light in 2022 due to Google’s policy of alerting customers five years after law enforcement takes such action,” Jim Jordan wrote. “The timing of these subpoenas raise questions about whether the subpoenas were in retaliation for HPSCI’s oversight of the FBI.”
The FBI has until July 27 to turn over all documents and communications referring to relating to the seizure of the Google email records.

Pesticides authority boss and chair resign, after inquiry triggered by APVMA worker who allegedly urinated on colleagues
The board chair and CEO of Australia's chemical regulator have resigned, as a damning report finds the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) was "captured" by industry interests and subject to regular complaints of misconduct.
Key points:
A review of the nation's chemical regulator finds incomplete reviews dating back decades and widespread misconduct complaints
The review also found the agency had been captured by industry interests, but there were no inappropriate approvals
The APVMA review was triggered following claims of a worker allegedly urinating on colleagues
The APVMA review was commissioned by Agriculture Minister Murray Watt following allegations raised in a Senate inquiry that an employee had urinated on his colleagues following a staff Christmas party.
The reviewer, law firm Clayton UTZ, found complaints of misconduct covered the "entire organisation" and were made by and about employees at all levels of the pesticides authority.
"There were clearly cultural issues with the organisation given that on average there was a formal complaint about once every 4-6 weeks for 5 years," Clayton UTZ said.
"There are also a significant number of complaints that refer to serious impacts for the persons involved, including numerous instances of employees having to take periods of stress leave or feeling unable to attend work due to mental health concerns," the reviewer found.
The reviewer found despite the seriousness of some complaints, there appeared to be a lack of response to these concerns, a lack of record keeping and a lack of capacity to respond to complaints.
Responding to the report, the agriculture minister said the review had identified systemic problems.
"Concerningly, the review found serious allegations of chemical industry capture of the APVMA, which appears to have played a key role in the organisation not performing its full regulatory responsibilities," Senator Watt said.
The alleged urination incident was referred to police and the public service commissioner in February.
String of controversies after forced relocation by Barnaby Joyce
The APVMA was also found to have "embedded" industry interests into its regulatory priorities and culture.
The agency was slammed for relying on education as an enforcement measure, even when criminal or civil prosecution was recommended.
Clayton UTZ recommended an urgent "re-evaluation of the APVMA's engagement with industry", which Senator Watt agreed to.
The review determined none of the material examined indicated any chemical products had been registered inappropriately.
But they found the authority, which approves products like weed-killer glyphosate, was taking decades to review chemicals.
"Of the 10 ongoing chemical reviews, eight have been in progress for over 15 years or more, with seven ongoing for nearly 20 years," they wrote.
Senator Watt has issued a ministerial directive for those reviews to be finalised "as soon as possible".
The APVMA has been mired in controversy since 2016 when former agriculture minister Barnaby Joyce forced the agency to relocate from Canberra to Armidale, in his New South Wales electorate of New England.

Tax dodgers Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey Australia have declined to appear before the Senate inquiry into consultants (the PwC tax leaks inquiry).
The scam they should both be held in Contempt of Parliament. The two American consultancy groups earn hundreds of millions from consulting to Australian governments but, when it’s their turn to be accountable, shirk it.
The most recently filed financial statements for McKinsey Pacific Rim (filed late) show bonuses of $148m, revenues of $439m and a tax “benefit” of $9m. To be fair they booked a tax expense of $18m in the previous year which was a big year at $478m in revenue but it looks like both firms require a good-hard-consulting from the Australian Tax Office.
Boston has already been investigated by the ATO and forced to pay back $36m and both companies charge out heavily for consulting to themselves. This is probably seconding experts from other regions for a job but the remuneration stuff in the financials looks to have a distinctly piquant aroma about it.

House Votes To Overturn Pentagon Policy Protecting Abortion Access For Troops
The Republican-led House of Representatives voted in favor of forcing the Pentagon to rescind a rule facilitating abortion access for servicemembers on Thursday.
In a nearly party line vote, the House decided 221 to 213 on an amendment prohibiting the Department of Defense (DOD) from reimbursing servicemembers for travel expenses incurred when seeking abortions and a handful of other reproductive procedures out-of-state, records show. Lawmakers also tackled DOD funding of transgender treatments in a package designed to maintain GOP unity and allow the yearly defense policy bill to move forward on the House floor, The New York Times reported.
“This illegal Biden-endorsed policy has no place in our military,” GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas, who sponsored the amendment, said, according to the NYT. “The taxpayer money is going directly to support abortions, and anyone in this chamber that says differently is blatantly lying to the American people.”
Inclusion of the amendments could imperil Democratic support for the final package, where some buy-in is needed to overcome hurdles on policy items where the GOP does not agree, the NYT reported.
“The MAGA majority is using our defense bill to get one stop closer to the only thing they really care about: a nationwide abortion ban,” Democratic Rep. Katherine Clark of Massachusetts, the Democratic whip, said, according to the NYT.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced in February DOD would pay The Department of Defense (DOD) will pay for troops to travel to states that allow abortions and obtain so-called “reproductive health care” at non-military facilities following the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization Supreme Court decision. The court gave states the authority to determine abortion restrictions for themselves, triggering concerns among the Pentagon of tightening abortion laws and their impact on female recruiting and retention.
The Hyde amendment bars DOD from administering abortions at military medical facilities, the new policy carves out provisions for expanded leave times and set-aside funding for servicemembers stationed in states that restrict abortions to cross state boundaries to obtain the procedure.
The House also voted 222 to 211 to prevent the DOD medical plan from paying for sex change surgeries and hormone therapies, according to the NYT.
