Every Living President But One Is Descended From Slave-Owners, Investigation Finds

Former President Donald Trump is the only living president who is not directly descended from slave-holders, according to a recent genealogical study.

The study, undertaken by Reuters, determined that every living president except for Trump – including Joe Biden and former presidents Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and even Barack Obama through his white mother’s side — was the descendant of slave owners.

Of course, it should be noted that Donald Trump’s family came to the United States years after slavery was abolished. The former president’s grandfather, Friedrich Trump, came to the United States from Germany in 1885 — and his mother, Mary Anne McLeod, immigrated from Scotland in 1929.

Former presidents were not the only ones to be named in the outlet’s deep dive — they also looked at the number of members of Congress who had direct ancestral links to slave owners. According to the report, 100 of the 536 members of the last Congress were descended from slave owners — and some were among the most powerful and influential leaders in both parties.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), and Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) topped the list. Sitting Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch were also listed as being descended from slaveholders.

The report also took a deeper look at the state of South Carolina — where not only is Republican Governor Henry McMaster descended from slave owners, but every U.S. Representative and U.S. Senator has some ancestral tie to the institution of slavery. Republican Senator and presidential candidate Tim Scott is descended from slaves, as is Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn. The remaining seven legislators — all of them white – are the direct descendants of slave owners.

‘This President Is Compromised’: Comer Says Biden Family Brokered Over $40M-Worth Of Foreign Deals

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said Wednesday that foreign payments in part brokered by the Biden family could top $40 million.

Comer spoke of his investigation into the Biden family and its overseas business dealings during an appearance on the “Cats and Cosby” show on WABC 770 in New York. Comer said the evidence he has reviewed so far suggests that the Biden family’s behavior was much more sinister than just inappropriate business dealings by Hunter Biden and his uncle, James Biden.

“It’s a huge puzzle. This was organized crime. There’s no other way to define it. This was organized crime,” Comer said. “This was something that’s going to top out, I would say, around 30 to 40 different banks and about that many different shell companies.”

Comer said that congressional investigators have identified at least six suspicious policy decisions that seem to have been influenced by corruption rather than any identifiable and legitimate U.S. interest.

“We have six specific policy decisions, four of which were made while Joe Biden was president early on that we can’t come to any other conclusion as to why these decisions were made other than the president is compromised,” Comer said.

Estimating based on bank records and other documents investigators have reviewed so far, Comer projects that the Biden family pulled in somewhere between $17 million to $30 million from foreign businessmen. The total worth of all those transactions likely exceeds $40 million, the Oversight Committee chairman said.

“We’re talking about some real money here, and I’m not counting – with the first transaction we disclosed was $3 million to the Chinese Communist Party to the Robinson Walker LLC account. From that, the Bidens got $1.3 million. I’m not counting $3 million, I’m counting $1.3 million, so, you know, the transactions could exceed $40 million plus,” Comer said.

The Kentucky Republican said he had much more to share about the Biden family’s transactions, including numerous other countries where the Bidens have a footprint.

“Romania, China those are the two countries we’ve already disclosed transactions. We’re about to disclose transactions from Ukraine, as well as Russia,” Comer said. President Joe Biden’s brother James “dealt mainly in the Middle East, so you have four or five countries in the Middle East that he influence-peddled on.”

“There’s also countries in Africa where Hunter Biden was actively involved in influence peddling and where Joe Biden was involved in foreign policy decisions. This was an organized family crime unit, essentially,” Comer said.
