House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is turning his attention to the Penn Biden Center as part of the panel’s probe into President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents.
— which the university denied in a statement to The Post last year.
The university raked in a total of $54.6 million in donations from China from 2014 through June 2019, including $23.1 million in anonymous gifts starting in 2016,Most of the anonymous donations came after the university announced in February 2017 that it would create the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, just a month after Biden’s term as vice president ended.
“UPenn publicized the formation of the Penn Biden Center on Feb. 1, 2017. After that announcement, UPenn’s donations originating from China more than tripled. Not only were these donations made while President Biden explored a potential run for president and launched his campaign, but also as his family and associates pursued lucrative financial projects with partners in China.
Comer also noted the revolving door between the think tank and the president’s administration, with at least 10 people who would become senior executive branch officials having worked at the center, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl.
