WASHINGTON — Indicted eldest son Hunter Biden accused a Ukrainian gas company executive who paid Hunter a $1 million salary even though then-Vice President Joe Biden testified before Congress that he dined with him. In a new interview, he suggested that he did not introduce his father. With the same Burisma Holdings executives.
‘Sugar Brother’ Kevin Morris, who has been funding Hunter since they met at a presidential campaign fundraiser in late 2019, has been ‘completely shut out’ for funding and lending to the scandal. Days after new reports surfaced, the 54-year-old brazenly backpedaled. At least $4.9 million hit Biden.
President Biden’s son told the Daily Beast The obscene photos on the discarded laptop also contain documents linking the father to overseas business relationships, depicting a “person in the throes of addiction” and suggesting that the father’s business dealings were improper. It is said that it was used to support the claim that the
“You know, ‘This is decadent.’ And we can show the level of his depravity in vivid detail. And here he is smoking a crack pipe. And here he is naked in the bathtub… Oh, and by the way, here’s an email from Vadim [Pozharskyi] Thank you for introducing me to my father,” Hunter told the magazine.
“Now, none of that second part is true. But they made it easier for people to believe it.”
On February 28, Hunter testified that then-Vice President Biden did not talk to his father about Burisma, even though he testified that he attended two dinner parties at Café Milano in Washington, D.C., in 2014 and 2015. He suggested that he did not introduce an advisor to the board of directors. One of them was Mr. Pozharskyi, whose company hired Mr. Hunter. In early 2014, when his father took control of the Obama administration’s policy toward Ukraine.
“I am confident that Mr. Vadim was present at one of these dinners,” Hunter told Congress, referring to the Post’s October 2020 first about documents from Hunter’s abandoned laptop. supported the report.
The Post’s scoop initially gave the impression that the Biden campaign was denying a report about a thank-you email from Pozharskiy on April 16, 2015, the day after their meal at Café Milano. Censored by Facebook and Twitter.
According to the email, Hunter was planning a dinner party that included other foreign patrons and was “officially” talking about his role on the board of the World Food Program USA charity.
In his impeachment inquiry testimony, Hunter said he attended a dinner at Café Milano on February 14, 2014, at a company co-owned by Hunter, business partner Devon Archer, and Kazakh businessman Kenneth Rakishev. He also confirmed that Russian billionaire Elena Baturina, who is said to have sent $3.5 million to He bought a $142,000 sports car for the young Biden.
According to impeachment inquiry testimony and further reporting, Joe Biden met with many of his son’s other foreign and domestic business associates during and immediately after his eight years as vice president, including Geothermal. Also included was Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, who worked with Hunter on energy-focused projects. Laptop records show he is a subsidiary of Burisma and a former business partner.
Hunter also admitted to House investigators that his father met Jonathan Lee, CEO of BHR Partners, which receives state support, during an official visit to Beijing in December 2013.
According to a Wall Street Journal report, Hunter co-founded an investment fund within 12 days of his father joining the Second Air Force and held a 10% stake in the company until his father became president. It is said that he was
Archer said Joe Biden also wrote college recommendation letters for Li’s children and greeted Chinese executives on speaker phone during Hunter’s subsequent trip.
The current president is also said to have been involved in a second Chinese state-owned business venture.
Former Biden family business associate Rob Walker said in his own testimony on January 26 that Joe Biden attended a luncheon with CEFC China Energy Chairman Ye Jianming just weeks after leaving office as vice president. said.
Walker said ahead of the meeting between Biden and Yee at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, D.C., that the first $3 million went to a group of Biden family partners, with more than a third of that going to Hunter and his eldest son, James. It went to Biden, he testified.
Walker said the funding was for services that scouted business opportunities during the Obama-Biden administration.
Mr Hunter claimed in House testimony that he could not recall his father allegedly being present at a lunch with Mr Ye in early 2017. Mr. Ye has since gone missing after corruption allegations surfaced in China.
CEFC said that within 10 days of a shakedown text message in July 2017 in which Hunter warned a China-based official that he was “sitting here with my father,” he and Hunter’s eldest son, James Biden, wired $5.1 million to the organizations involved.
Photos from Hunter’s laptop show that he was indeed at his father’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, that day.
The threatening text messages were provided to Congress by IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler, who, along with his boss Gary Shapley, revealed last year that the Justice Department had repeatedly targeted Hunter Biden in a tax evasion investigation. He claimed that he had prohibited him from pursuing any evidence linking him to the president. For trading with foreign countries.
Shortly after the IRS whistleblower came forward, Hunter agreed to a plea deal last June that included only probation on federal tax and gun charges.
But he withdrew from the agreement in July after a court required him to absolve himself of other wrongdoing, including violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, in which his father may have been involved.
The eldest son is currently awaiting trial in Los Angeles on charges of failing to pay more than $1.4 million in federal taxes between 2016 and 2019 (trial scheduled to begin June 20) and in Delaware on charges of illegal possession of a firearm. and is awaiting trial on charges of lying about drug use. Administrative procedures are scheduled to begin on June 3rd.
Mr Hunter is trying to delay both trials as Mr Morris, Mr Hunter’s main backer, is reportedly preparing to cut off funding.
‘Kevin is completely wiretapped,’ says source close to Hollywood lawyer told Politico. “So when Hunter faces two criminal trials starting in a few weeks, he doesn’t have the resources. It’s pretty dire.”
Mr. Morris has provided Mr. Hunter with at least $4.9 million since the beginning of 2020, although Mr. Morris declined to reveal the exact figure during his January impeachment testimony.
Republicans believe the total could exceed $7 million, which they say constitutes illegal in-kind campaign contributions.
President Biden has repeatedly denied any role in the dealings with his relatives, including to a Post reporter in March, despite substantial evidence that he did so. This includes saying, “I don’t interact with their partners.” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) said it was “another lie” about Joe Biden’s role in these relationships.
Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abby Lowell, did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment. He was unable to contact Morris.
