In 2015, then-Vice President Joe Biden approved a statement relating to Hunter Biden’s position on Ukrainian energy company Burisma. Biden previously claimed he had “no involvement” with Hunter’s business matters. The information was discovered in a series of emails obtained from the National Archives.
An email from Biden’s former communications director Kate Bedingfield to Hunter’s financial lieutenant Eric Schwerin read, “VP signed off on this — will give this quote to reporters in my name shortly,” and included a quote from Biden’s statement: “Hunter Biden is a private citizen and a lawyer. The Vice President does not endorse any particular company and has no involvement with this company. The Vice President has pushed aggressively for years — both publicly with groups like the US-Ukraine Business Forum and privately in meetings in with [sic] Ukrainian leaders — for Ukraine to make every effort to investigate and prosecute corruption in accordance with the rule of law. It will once again be a key focus during his trip this week.”
Previously released emails from 2014 suggest Hunter advised the Office of Vice President Biden on how to navigate media inquiries regarding his position on the board of Burisma.
From Breitbart:
America First Legal President Stephen Miller stated the emails are a bombshell that shows Hunter and Joe Biden often coordinated about the family’s business dealings. They are “explosive revelations” that “conclusively demonstrate that there is no daylight between Hunter and Joe Biden on Ukraine,” he said in a statement. “Taken together with the Oversight Committee’s revelations about the Biden Family finances, it is now indisputable that there is a need for a full criminal investigation into the Bidens’ foreign influence peddling and exotic foreign financial payoffs,” Miller said. On Thursday, the House Oversight Committee revealed a Biden family business associate received a $3 million wire transfer from a Chinese energy company and subsequent payments after Joe Biden left the vice presidency in 2017. In turn, the family business associate sent $1.3 million to Hunter, James, Hallie, and an unknown “Biden.”Joe Biden denied the payout on Friday when questioned about recent revelations the family received funds from China.
