Hunter Biden’s CEFC China Energy “client” paid him $1 million in 2017 for legal services not provided and threatened to sue the president’s son if the money was not returned. It is reported that.
The threat raises questions about the nature of Hunter’s legal representation at CEFC, a foreign corporation. Hunter was not registered as a foreign agent to represent CEFC. The special counsel did not charge Mr. Hunter with violating the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) in the tax prosecution.
According to a TIPP poll, 69% of Americans believe Hunter violated FARA, but only 18% say he did not. 13% are not confident.
Patrick Ho, a CEFC executive whom Mr. Hunter previously described as “China’s shitty spy chief,” wrote Mr. Hunter a demand letter demanding that the funds be returned, alleging that the president’s son had failed to meet his obligations. new york postmiranda devine report:
Ho’s letter, sent by Hong Kong law firm Fuen & Partners to Hunter’s lawyer Abby Lowell in Washington, D.C., set a seven-day deadline for repaying the remaining funds.
A friend of Ho’s told the Post: “Patrick said he paid the money, but Hunter said he did nothing for him. And according to the contract, the money was returned to him. “I say it should be done,” he said.
The $1 million legal receipt was transferred from CEFC in China to CEFC’s Hong Kong HSBC account and then, on November 2, 2017, to the American bank account of Hudson West III (HWIII), which is jointly owned by Hunter with CEFC. Remittance was sent. It was then sent to Hunter’s private company, Owasco, according to the California tax indictment.
Hunter acknowledged that “my own law firm received $1 million in attorney fees for Mr. Patrick Ho” when the plea deal failed in July.
The 2017 contract between Mr. Ho and Mr. Hunter specified that they were “attorneys.” [Hunter] will perform the legal services required under this Agreement, keep Client informed of progress and developments, and respond promptly to Client inquiries and communications. ” post report. The legal services Hunter promised to provide were “preparation for and participation in meetings, courtrooms, and depositions; and preparation for and participation in depositions.” Review and preparation of correspondence and legal documents. Legal research; telephone conversations too. ”
Mr. Ho’s redemption request comes after Mr. Hunter said in a text exchange with whistleblower Tony Bobulinski in May 2017 that he did not want to register as a foreign agent for CEFC, a company with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party. It was issued in response to this. Two months ago, CEFC paid Hunter $1 million plus legal representation fees worth $3.8 million. consulting Fee.

A suspicious activity report obtained by House Republicans shows that Hunter Biden’s business partner, Rob Walker, received $3 million in wire transfers from CEFC in 2017. Four members of the Biden family (Hunter, James, Harry, and an unidentified “Biden”) then received the money. A total reduction of $1.3 million.
Joe Biden received a $40,000 check in 2017 from a China fund originating from CEFC, James Biden admitted during the House impeachment inquiry on February 21, according to records reviewed by Breitbart News. That’s what it means.
In 2017, U.S. authorities arrested Ho on bribery charges. In 2019, US authorities declared Ho will be sentenced to three years in prison for his role in a scheme to bribe government officials in Chad and Uganda in exchange for business benefits for CEFC.
