Testimony, diaries, and visitor logs demonstrate that President Biden interacted with Hunter’s business partners around 200 times.
From The Federalist. President Joe Biden vehemently denied ever talking business with his son, “or with anyone else” in the run-up to the 2020 election. In fact, Biden even fat-shamed an Iowa voter who approached the subject during the Democratic primaries. On the debate stage with Donald Trump, the former vice president peddled conspiracies of Russian interference when emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop revealed otherwise.
On Sunday night, the New York Post reported on anticipated testimony from Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Devon Archer. The 48-year-old who went golfing with the Bidens in 2014 is expected to tell the House Oversight Committee how Hunter Biden put his father in contact with foreign businessmen and potential investors at least 24 times. According to the Post, such meetings were either in person or by speakerphone, with Hunter Biden often dialing in Joe.
Beyond those meetings, there are more than 180 other episodes where the president interacted with his son’s business partners, contrary to his campaign claims of “absolute” separation.
Then-Vice President Joe Biden reportedly met with Ukrainian, Russian, and Kazakhstani business partners at a famous D.C. establishment in 2015. The meeting, arranged by Hunter, took place at one of Georgetown’s most famous restaurants, Café Milano, “where the world’s most powerful people go,” as the local catchphrase goes. . . .
Visitor logs show Hunter Biden’s business associates visited the White House at least 80 times while Joe Biden was vice president, according to Fox News. One such visit included a pair of Mexican businessmen who visited the West Wing on Feb. 26, 2014, and were later photographed in the press briefing room with the vice president and his son. . . .
Hunter Biden’s diary shows more than 100 events at the vice president’s residence while living at the Naval Observatory, according to the New York Post. Photographs from the same day as one meeting on the calendar for Nov. 19, 2015, feature Mexican billionaires Carlos Slim and Miguel Alemán Velasco. Hunter Biden spent years leveraging White House perks to pursue business deals with Slim.
