The heat is rising on President Biden and his increasingly incredulous claims that he knew nothing of his son Hunter's shady foreign business deals when he was VP and well beyond.
In addition to new evidence that Joe and Hunterย sharedย bank accounts and commingledย funds, and thatย Hunter's business partner at Rosemont Seneca Partners, their investment firmย with close links to Communist Chinaย visited the White House numerous timesย whileย Joe Bidenย was vice president, now we find that Joe paid over $800,000 of Hunter's legal bills tied to his Chinese-linked company; as recently as 2019.
Hunter's partner Devon Archerย and two co-defendants were convicted of fraud in 2018.
This new evidence appears in an email with an attached spreadsheetย firstย reported by the Daily Mail,ย stored on a now-infamous laptop that was abandoned at a repair shop in the Biden family'sย hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, in 2019.
Theย New York Postย reported the bombshellย of the laptop's existenceย after receiving a copy of the hard drive in October 2020. Despite a torrent of Democrat disinformation in the weeks before the 2020 election smearing the laptop as Russian disinformation, key emails on it wereย recently authenticatedย by The New York Times and The Washington Post.
According toย the New York Post,ย that email was sent on January 17, 2019, just ahead of the 2020 election, by Hunter's former personal assistant, Katie Dodge, and sent to an accountant named Linda Shapero, founder of Global DEEZ in Virginia.
In the email, Dodge wrote, โI spoke with Hunter today regarding his bills. It is my understanding that Hunt's [Hunter's] dad will cover these bills in the short-term as Hunter transitions in his career.โ
The Post added:
Dodge's email โ which included the greeting, โHello VP teamโ โ was cc'd to Hunter Biden and Richard Ruffner, who was a personal aide to Joe Biden while he was vice president, after he left office and during his winning White House bid.
The spreadsheet shows Hunter Biden's debts included more than $130,000 in legal fees due โASAPโ to the law firm of Faegre Baker Daniels, with $28,382 owed for โBHR Restructuring.โ
That appears to be a reference to the Chinese company Bohai Harvest RST (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management, in which Hunter Biden held a 10 percent stake through a company called Skaneateles LLC.
BHR is primarily owned by Communist Chinese investors, including the state-controlled Bank of China.
The White House didn't immediately say if Joe Biden agreed to pay his son's bills without reviewing them or asking his son what they were for.ย
It has also thus farย refused to sayย whether the president's son had divested himself of his foreign, especially Communist Chinese, entanglements in line with his dad'sย campaign promiseย that his family members โwill not be engaged in any foreign business.โ
As Iย wrote earlier, The Washington Post has recentlyย also shed new light onย Hunter'sย dealings withย CEFC China Energy,ย a Chinese state-linked energy firm which has close ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and People's Liberation Army (PLA), that paid Hunter millions of dollars.
Accordingย to the paper, CEFC China Energy paid entities controlled by the then-cash-strapped Hunter Biden or his uncle James Biden, $4.8 million over 14 months beginning in 2017, despite Joe Biden emphatically denying his son ever made money from China.
