The Biden family tried to help CEFC China Energy Co. purchase a U.S. liquid natural gas facility in Louisiana.

The company called "CEFC" maintained very close ties to China's communist government and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Multiple members of the Biden family personally met with Ye Jianming, who was chairman of CEFC, and discussed helping CEFC acquire the liquid natural gas facility in the U.S.

"James B noted that RHB portrayed CEFC to him as Chairman Ye was a protégé of President Xi," FBI agents noted in a memo.

"James B recalled that the life changing meeting was the deal with Monkey Island. Monkey Island was off the coast of Louisiana near the Gulf of Mexico," the FBI wrote.
