Millions of dollars donated by anonymous Chinese sources to the Penn Biden Center in Washington may have covered paychecks for multiple officials working at the think tank as part of a Biden administration-in-waiting, according to House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.).
“The Penn Biden Center appears to have acted as a foreign-sponsored source of income for much of a Biden administration in-waiting,” Comer said in a Jan. 18 letter to Mary Elizabeth Gill, the University of Pennsylvania’s president. “Between 2017 and 2019, UPenn paid President Biden more than $900,000, and the university employed at least 10 people at the Penn Biden Center who later became senior Biden administration officials.”
