Ye and his associate Gongwen Dong (aka "Kevin"), applied to a bank and opened credit lines for a business named Hudson West III LLC, giving Hunter, Joe Biden's brother James Biden (and James’ wife Sarah Biden), credit cards which the Bidens used to buy extravagant items. The Senate report details a series of transfers and transactions worth millions of US dollars between CEFC, Hudson West and the Bidens.
