Thanks to three brave Americans, we now know that Joe Biden has long misled the public about his involvement with his family’s foreign business entanglements while he served as vice president.

At considerable personal risk, former Biden family business partners Tony Bobulinski and Bevan Cooney, and computer shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac, have come forward with tens of thousands of primary-source documents — internal corporate records, emails, and text messages — detailing years of business dealings that centered on trading on the Biden name.

This material suggests that, despite Joe Biden’s
insistence that he knew nothing about his family’s business deals, he was well
aware of his son Hunter Biden’s business ventures in China, Ukraine,
Kazakhstan, and elsewhere.

These new troves constitute hard evidence of Biden family corruption, and confirm our reporting dating back to my close friend and colleague Peter Schweizer’s 2018 book “Secret Empires.”

In 2018, when Schweizer first broke the foreign
influence scandals that have now engulfed the former vice president, it seemed
apparent that China and Ukraine were not paying Biden’s family members for
their expertise, they were buying access to the vice president of the United
States. This was never a scandal solely about Hunter or Joe’s brothers, James and
Frank. It was, and has always been, a Joe Biden scandal.

For nearly three years, Biden and his surrogates
have responded to the scandal with an increasingly unconvincing series of
denials — including another from the former vice president in his last debate
with President Trump.

In response to “Secret Empires,” one of Joe Biden’s aides said “we aren’t going to engage on a politically motivated hit pieces …” Team Biden did not bother to respond to specific allegations that the Biden family vacuumed up millions, in the exact locales where Biden was President Barack Obama’s policy “point man.”

When the issue re-emerged during the campaign,
Team Biden continued to call it a “conspiracy theory” but this time, Joe Biden
firmly put himself on record. “I have never discussed with my son or my brother
or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses — period,” he told
reporters in August 2019.

“I never talk with my son or my brother or anyone else in the distant family about their business interests, period.” He repeated similar blanket denials on numerous occasions. These denials all proved to be untruthful. Period.

We now know that Joe Biden met directly with his son’s Chinese business partner,
Jonathan Li, in a Chinese hotel lobby on a fateful trip in 2013 (a trip that
allowed Hunter to spend hours with his father, the vice president, on a
transoceanic flight to Beijing aboard Air Force Two). Ten days later, Hunter
landed an unprecedented $1 billion private equity deal, bankrolled by the
Chinese government.

But this was not the only meeting Joe Biden had with Biden family business partners. As the New York Post reported, emails on Hunter Biden’s hard drive reveal that on April 16, 2015, Joe Biden met with a high-level official of a controversial Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, which had put Hunter on its board. And a recently unearthed photo shows that Vice President Biden met with Hunter’s Kazakh business associate in Washington, DC.

After first dismissing the gathering scandal as
a “conspiracy theory,” the Biden team shifted to the position that Joe had
never talked with his family about their business dealings, then shifted again
to the position that he’d never met with his family’s business partners. Now,
with the latest document revelations, Joe Biden unveiled his latest defense in
the recent debate: “I have not taken a single penny from any country
whatsoever, ever.”

Team Biden points to Joe and Jill Biden’s tax
returns as evidence that Joe did nothing improper. It is worth noting that the
family members upon whom foreign entities showered money are not required to
disclose their finances.

We now know the Biden paydays were anything but conspiracy theories. Hunter was getting roughly $1 million per year from Burisma. Treasury Department alerts reveal that Russian oligarch Elena Baturina wired $3.5 million to Biden’s interests. New text messages reveal that China Energy Company Ltd (CEFC) apparently paid $5 million to the Biden family. Another email indicates Hunter demanded a $10 million-per-year “fee” from one of his Chinese business partners. There is no more doubt.

The New York Post broke news last week that Joe Biden himself may have benefited from his son’s dealings. The Post quoted a cryptic message from one of Hunter’s partners, saying that “10 [percent] held by H for the big guy?” The recipient of that message, Tony Bobulinski, says “there is no question” that “H” stands for Hunter and the “big guy” is Joe Biden.

We gain further insight into the operations of
Biden Inc. in emails provided to us by Bevan Cooney, a former business associate
of Hunter Biden. Cooney, who is currently in prison for his role in the Indian
Bond Scheme that is sending Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer also to
jail, shared 26,000 emails that show what Hunter’s role was in their business
ventures. The Biden name was considered “currency” for their foreign business
ventures, and was a “direct … pipeline” to the Obama-Biden administration.
Deals involving Hunter benefited from the “Biden lift,” the help that the name
would provide in overseas dealings.

What might the Bidens’ foreign benefactors have
expected in return for all this largesse? We can’t say. But some may see a
correlation between that foreign money and Joe Biden’s policy posture toward
the sources of that money.

Consider the case of the Penn Biden Center, a DC
think tank named after Joe Biden. According to the center, its mission is to
“Address Threats to the Liberal International Order.” The center analyzes the
threats of “Russia” and “climate change” in detail. But China — the largest violator
of basic human rights on the planet — does not make the list. Why?

Perhaps we now know why.

The following information—a roadmap to Biden
corruption—is based on a comprehensive analysis of multiple batches of
Biden-related files and correspondences that Biden’s associates, including Tony
Bobulinski and Bevan Cooney, provided to my colleagues and me, exclusively.

The Bobulinski Files

• Biden partner warned Bobulinski “don’t mention Joe” and the Bidens are
  “paranoid” about putting anything in writing
• Bobulinski says the Biden family is totally “compromised by China”
• New emails from Bobulinski suggest Joe Biden (aka “the big guy”) was
  given a 10% stake in a Chinese venture but Hunter Biden held the shares and
  cloaked Joe Biden’s involvement
• Bobulinski’s files are still being analyzed but thus far they provide
  the best evidence that Vice President Joe Biden was involved in the Biden family’s
  foreign dealings and thereby compromised U.S. national security
• Bobulinski messages reveal Hunter was willing to help the Chinese with
  “everything”—indicates he is willing to facilitate Chinese takeovers of any and
  all U.S. industries except weapons and defense companies (and even this
  extremely low bar proved to be false as demonstrated the below-mentioned
  Henniges deal)

In mid-October, a man named Tony Bobulinski contacted
several investigative journalists claiming to be a close business partner of
the Biden family. He provided enough text messages and emails to back up his
assertions and authenticate his relationship with Biden Inc.

Bobulinski wished to remain anonymous but was
persuaded that, unless he came forward and went public, no one would believe
that explosive details he could provide were authenticate. Simply put,
Bidengate—which continues to unfold day by day—could not be and would not be based
on anonymous sources.

Bobulinski was connected to the Wall Street
Journal who assured him that they would tell his story. But after a week of
delays, slow-walking, and inaction, Bobulinski realized that the Wall Street
Journal could not be trusted to release his story in a timely fashion. He thus
authorized numerous journalists to comb through thousands of his Biden-related
files—corporate documents and correspondences, for the most part.

This week Bobulinski appeared on FOX News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight to unpack his earth-shattering revelations.

One of the largest bombshells that Bobulinski has released to date is the assertion that Joe Biden held a personal 10 percent stake in at least one of his son’s Chinese ventures. Another message reveals Bobulinski was warned not to “mention” Joe in writing because the Bidens are “paranoid.” This text alone explains why Joe Biden’s name does not appear in more correspondences and perhaps why Biden associates frequently used nicknames for one another.

Here are the latest revelations based on my
reporting on the Bobulinski files:

New messages show Joe Biden son’s expletive-laced rant that his
lucrative Ukrainian pay was in jeopardy after father left office. Biden: “I was
fighting for the only income I have left.”

Co-authored by John Solomon at Just the News:

“After his father left office as vice president,
Hunter Biden lamented to a business partner in spring 2017 that his lucrative
and controversial relationship with the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings
was in danger of falling apart. 

“I was fighting for the only income I have
left right now from Burisma,” Hunter Biden wrote in a series of terse,
f-bomb-laden text messages in June 2017 to Tony Bobulinski, the chief executive
officer of a China-related venture the Biden family was creating at the
time. 

The messages were contained in dump of
communications that Bobulinski, now a whistleblower to the Senate and FBI, made
public in the last week. They were independently verified by Just the News with
one of the recipients and provide fresh evidence that Hunter Biden’s business
fortunes appeared in many ways tied to his father’s proximity to power. 

Since 2014, Hunter Biden’s work as a board
member for Burisma and its owner Mykola “Nikolais” Zlochevsky has
generated controversy, in part because the Ukrainian gas firm was under
corruption investigation at the same time then-Vice President Biden oversaw
U.S. anti-corruption policy in Ukraine.  

Records obtained by the FBI show that Rosemont
Seneca Bohai — a U.S. firm tied to Hunter Biden and his longtime business
partner and fellow Burisma board member Devon Archer — received regular monthly
payments totaling $166,666 from Burisma starting in 2014 and continuing into
2016. A Senate report last month concluded Hunter Biden and his partner
received at least $4 million in payments from the Ukraine gas company.

Obama-Biden era State Department officials
testified earlier this year that the Bidens created the appearance of a
conflict of interest that undercut U.S. efforts to fight endemic corruption in
the former Soviet republic of Ukraine. Hunter Biden acknowledged in an
interview he did not have much experience in Ukraine or the gas industry and
may have landed the job in part because of his famous name. 

The newly released Bobulinski text messages,
along with documents obtained by Just the News under the Freedom of Information
Act, add a new twist to the long-running saga. They indicate Hunter
Biden’s work with Burisma — and possibly part of his compensation — may have
been tied to a gas deal in neighboring Kazakhstan that was struck in 2014
shortly after the vice president’s son was added to Burisma’s board. 

By spring 2017, Hunter Biden was
worried that his Burisma income was in jeopardy and linked that income to his
“position” in the Kazakh deal, according to the text messages and
separate interviews. 

The text message exchanges on June 4-5,
2017 came as an agitated Hunter Biden described to Bobulinski why he had
not been more attentive to matters in a separate China deal the two were
involved with. 

“F[expletive] you Tony, I wasn’t asleep and
those guys work for the Ukrainians and they think I haven’t left my room in 3
days,” Hunter Biden texted. “I was on Nikolais boat arguing about my
position in their Kazakh deal and it was heated.” 

“I couldn’t call because I was fighting for
the only income I have left right now from Burisma. It was a very heated and
very tense and extremely unavoidable meeting negotiation that had a lot more at
stake than me meeting you to say I’m not sending that letter to the Chairman
under any circumstances,” Hunter Biden added in the texts.  

Lawyers for Hunter Biden and Archer, and a
spokesman for the Biden campaign did not immediately respond to requests for
comment.  

Two days prior to the texts, on June 2, 2017, Zlochevsky attended the annual Burisma-sponsored Energy Security for the Future event in Monaco. Also in attendance were the Atlantic Council’s John Herbst, Burisma advisor Vadim Pozharskyi and Burisma board member and former president of Poland Alexander Kwasniewski, along with multiple current and former Ukrainian (and other foreign government) officials. 

Herbst, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, had contacts in 2016 with the U.S. embassy in Kiev about efforts to end the corruption allegations against Burisma, documents previously obtained by Just the News show. The corruption cases in Ukraine were formally closed just days before Joe Biden left office, and U.S. officials feared two separate bribes had been paid by Burisma during the effort to get the cases shut down.

Hunter Biden was not publicly listed as having attended the June 2017 event, but he had attended the forum in the past. His text message to Bobulinski suggested he had been meeting with Zlochevsky on the sidelines. 

In December 2014, Burisma entered into an agreement with Kazakhstan’s national oil and gas company Kazmunaigaz. According to a press release, this made Burisma the “first company in Ukraine, to develop oil & gas resources in the Republic of Kazakhstan together with the national oil & gas company.” 

The deal was signed in Astana, Kazakhstan, where a delegation of Burisma executives led by Zlochevsky met with Kazakh officials. Upon announcement of the deal, Zlochevsky stated: “It is a recognition that today Burisma Holdings has unique both onshore and offshore equipment for exploration, drilling and seismic data, which has no analogues in the post-Soviet space. At the beginning of 2015, we are planning to invest in joint projects on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.” 

On the trip to Astana, Zlochevsky brought with
him Archer, Hunter Biden’s longtime business partner, and Vadim Pozharskyi.
Archer is a longtime friend of the Biden family and joined the board of Burisma
around the same time Hunter Biden did in spring 2014.  Hunter Biden and
Archer were involved in several business ventures together. 

Pozharsky is a longtime associate of Zlochevsky and was at the time an advisor to Burisma. Pozharskyi recently made headlines when an email surfaced publicly suggesting he had secured an off-the-books meeting in April 2015 with Vice President Biden arranged by Hunter Biden. The revelation appeared to conflict with Joe Biden’s insistence that he “never discussed” his son’s business dealings.  

The Burisma delegation met with Kazakh Prime Minister Karim Massimov and Kazakh Foreign Minister Yerlan Idrisov. In June 2014, Kazakh dictator Nursultan Nazarbayev had designated Karim Masimov to be his primary delegate to Ukraine, with the goal of forming friendly relations with the fledgling Poroshenko regime. Notably, Breitbart News recently revealed an undated photo showing Joe Biden had dinner with his son Hunter and Massimov and a Kazakh businessman named Kenes Rakishev.

Senate Homeland Security committee chairman Ron Johnson last month identified Rahkishev as the foreign national behind a $142,300 payment that was sent to Archer in 2014 around the time of a key visit by Joe Biden to the region.

Devon Archer received $142,300 from Kenges
Rakishev of Kazakhstan, purportedly for a car, the same day Vice President Joe
Biden appeared with Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yasenyuk and addressed
Ukrainian legislators in Kiev regarding Russia’s actions in Crimea,”
Johnson’s committee wrote in a report released last month.

Less than a year after Archer’s visit to
Kazakhstan with Burisma, he was honored as a distinguished guest at a Sept. 27,
2015 “Captains of Industry” banquet hosted by Kazakh leader
Nazarbayev on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA)
meeting in New York.  

State Department memos obtained via FOIA by Just the News reveal that members of then-Secretary of State John Kerry’s team pulled strings to approve a last-minute request for Undersecretary Catherine Novelli to attend Nazarbayev’s banquet with Archer. 

“I know the time for UNGA meeting proposals
is passed. An additional event has come up. Below, I have a preview draft below
and confirmed guest list supplied by the Kazakhstanis,” wrote the
Kazakhstan desk officer to another State Department official on Sept. 3,
2015.  

One week later, the Kazakh desk officer followed up to see if approval had been granted. A separate email on Sept. 10, 2015 shows the expedited request was approved and Undersecretary Novelli would “represent the USG at a dinner hosted by Kazakhstan’s President Nazarbayev.” 

Hunter Biden ended his relationship with Burisma
in 2019 as his father, Joe Biden, began his presidential campaign.

New Emails and Documents Reveal New Details Proving Biden Inc’s Cozy Ties with Chinese Communist Party Leadership Via Chinese Billionaires

Co-authored with Ivan at the Epoch Times:

“Hunter Biden and an energy tycoon with extensive ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had a cozy relationship, according to text messages disclosed to Senate investigators by Tony Bobulinski, one of Biden’s former business partners.

In text messages sent to Bobulinski on Oct. 14,
2017, Biden wrote that he and Ye Jianming, the founder
of multibillion-dollar Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC China Energy, had
a “solid” relationship. Biden said he was the first guest at Ye’s new apartment
and that the billionaire cooked lunch for him.

“I’ve been talking to the Chairman on a regular basis. I was his first guest in his new apartment/ he cooked me lunch himself and we ate in the kitchen together,” Biden wrote, according to text message screenshots obtained by The Epoch Times.

Biden added that Ye “has me helping him on a
number of his personal issues” including for “staff visas and some more
sensitive things.”

The close relationship between the pair began as early as 2015, according to a report by the Republicans on the Senate Homeland Security Committee. The text messages raise significant questions considering the extensive ties between the communist regime and both Ye and his company. While on paper a private enterprise, CEFC had a rare contract to store part of China’s strategic oil reserves, received financing from a regime-owned bank, and hired a number of former top officials from state-owned energy companies, according to Reuters. The company also had more layers of Communist Party committees than many private Chinese companies.

The text message from Biden, the son of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, was in response to a question from Bobulinski, who had at that point spent months trying to figure out why Ye had not yet wired $10 million to SinoHawk LLC, the U.S. joint venture incorporated by Ye, Hunter Biden, James Biden, Bobulinski, and two more partners, James Gilliar and Rob Walker.

SinoHawk LLC was created through a web of corporate entities, according to corporate records (pdf) obtained by The Epoch Times. Hudson West IV, a limited liability corporation controlled by Ye, owned half of SinoHawk. Hunter Biden and his partners owned the other half through Oneida Holdings LLC, which they in turn owned through five more corporate entities, one for each partner, the corporate documents (pdf) show. According to Bobulinski, the “Sino” in SinoHawk stood for China, while “Hawk” was picked because it was the favorite animal of Beau Biden, Joe Biden’s deceased son.

The emails, text messages, and documents
reviewed for this article were produced by Bobulinski to the media and later to
the Senate Homeland Security Committee. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.), the
committee chairman, told The Epoch Times last week that the committee’s ongoing
review has found nothing to put the authenticity of the documents in doubt.

“What I can say about all of those sources, we’re continuing to do our due diligence to verify and authenticate the genuineness of those emails,” Johnson said. “And to date, we have found nothing that disputes them. All we’ve found is verification, validation of their authenticity.”

At least one of the emails in the batch provided
by Bobulinski matches word-for-word the emails purportedly obtained from a
laptop belonging to Hunter Biden and published by The New York
Post. Bobulinski reportedly turned in three of his smartphones to the FBI
on Oct. 23.

Ye’s underlings in China and the United States
kept on telling Bobulinski that the wire was coming while putting up baffling
roadblocks, like asking Bobulinski what the goals of the joint venture were
despite signing off on corporate paperwork which listed the mission of the
enterprise. Throughout the process, Bobulinski could not get in direct contact
with Ye and had to deal instead with his lieutenants.

“So u 1000% [didn’t] reach out to Chairman Ye or
Director Zang and create parallel noise?” Bobulinski wrote to Hunter Biden on
Oct. 14, 2017. “I didn’t [think] so but just trying to manage chaos.”

Biden responded by talking of his close
relationship and regular talks with Ye, including that Ye engaged Biden as his
attorney in the United States. Biden also curiously distanced himself from the
acquisition deals in Oman and Luxemburg for which SinoHawk was ostensibly
created.

“Anyway, he and I are solid so when and if you
or James feel like I’m capable of telling him about your Oman and Luxembourg or
The Russian guys deal just let me know. We have a standing once a week call as
I am also his personal counsel (we signed an attorney client engagement letter)
in the US,” Biden wrote.

“I assumed you lost interest as we haven’t
spoken for so long. Are any deals that you said were closing—,” Biden wrote.

Bobulinski’s responses suggest he was baffled by
the response, considering the amount of effort he and other partners expended
to get in touch with Ye to secure the promised $10 million in funding for
SinoHawk.

“About ‘my deals’ they apparently are our deals
not my deals,” Bobulinski wrote. “Not much for games, they were supposed to
fund 10 MM USD, which they never did, and am assuming u know that.”

Ye never wired the money to SinoHawk, but
Bobulinski would later learn from the Homeland Security Committee report that
Hunter and James Biden received money from Ye via another channel.

According to confidential documents obtained by
the Senate Homeland Security Committee, on Aug. 4, 2017, more than two months
before the Biden-Bobulinski text exchange, CEFC Infrastructure Investment (US)
LLC, a subsidiary of Ye’s company, sent Hunter Biden’s law firm, Owasco, a
payment for $100,000.

Four days later, CEFC Infrastructure Investment
wired $5 million to the bank account for Hudson West III, another entity
controlled by Ye. On the same day the money arrived, Hudson West III started
sending frequent payments to Hunter Biden’s firm.

“These payments, which were described as
consulting fees, reached $4,790,375.25 in just over a year,” the Senate report
stated.

A month later, on Sept. 8, 2017, Hunter Biden
and Gongwen Dong, Ye’s U.S. operative, applied for a credit line. Hunter Biden,
James Biden, and James Biden’s wife, Sara Biden, were authorized users for the
credit cards linked to the accounts. They subsequently used the credit cards to
buy more than $100,000 in luxury items including airline tickets and multiple
items at Apple Inc. stores.

When Bobulinski learned two years later about
the money that flowed to the Bidens, he reached out to James Biden.

“Hope you and family are well, safe and healthy.
You can imagine my shock when reading the report yesterday put out by the
Senate committee. The fact that you and HB were lying to Rob, James and I while
accepting $5 MM from Cefc is infuriating,” Bobulinski wrote, using Hunter
Biden’s initials.

“And so disappointing based on the years of work
that James, Rob and team invested to get things done,” Bobulinski added.

Further hints about Ye and Biden’s intentions for SinoHawk are revealed in an email from one of Ye’s lieutenants to Bobulinski. On July 26, 2017, Zhao Runlong wrote about the $5 million of working capital intended for SinoHawk as money “lent to BD family.”

“This $5 million loan to BD family is
interest-free. But if the 5 M is used up, should CEFC keep lending more to the
family?” Zhao wrote, using “BD” as shorthand for “Biden.”

A review of nearly 1,800 pages of emails and
more than 600 messages Bobulinski handed over to Congress suggests that
Bobulinski’s insistence on running SinoHawk by the book may have resulted in
Hunter Biden abandoning his partners and accepting money from Ye via another
route.

Bobulinski summed up the events prior to the
last presidential debate on Oct. 22, telling reporters that Hunter Biden wanted
to use SinoHawk as a personal “piggy bank” before Bobulinski intervened.
President Donald Trump invited Bobulinski as a guest to the debate because the
emails and texts Bobulinski handed over to Senate investigators can be viewed
as damaging to Joe Biden.

Joe Biden’s name does not come up in any of the
corporate documents used to set up SinoHawk. At the time the company was
formed, he was no longer in the White House.

The texts and emails show that Gilliar brought
Bobulinski into the deal to work full-time as the CEO of SinoHawk. Hunter Biden
began to voice concerns about the direction of the company in mid-May, 2017,
less than two weeks before the paperwork incorporating SinoHawk was signed.

On May 13, 2017, Gilliar sent an email to Biden, Bobulinski, and Walker about proposed “remuneration packages” and an equity breakdown between the five partners. Under the proposal, Hunter Biden would receive an $850,000 salary and a 20 percent stake in Oneida Holdings, which in turn owned half of the joint venture with Ye’s company. The equity breakdown also included a 10 percent stake, which was to be held by Hunter Biden “for the big guy.” Bobulinski told reporters on Oct. 22 that the “big guy” was Joe Biden.

Hunter Biden reacted to the proposal by pointing
out that he would need more than $850,000 because after alimony and taxes he
would be left with only $100,000 for himself.

“I have been the only one asked to give up all other active commercial interests- no consulting fees no promoting another business no continuing to work on existing projects etc…so I have to admit I do expect that if I can’t keep my toe in other things I will need a hell of a lot more than 850 p/y on a monthly basis,” Biden wrote.

On the same day, Bobulinski wrote a text message
to Gilliar: “We need to manage Hunter as every discussion makes me feel like he
thinks things are going to be his personal piggybank.”

On May 16, 2017, Bobulinski responded to Hunter
and partners by pointing out that the company would need an operating budget in
order to make a profit.

“We should all discuss so you are covered but you also have to be conscious of the moving parts and operating budgets and we have to pay a team of people who will be working 100 hours a week so we generate enough profits so we are distributing $10s of MM out to the owners,” Bobulinski wrote.

“I will be circulating the Terms for Oneida
later today. In that I have included an [additional] payment to you and I as
sitting on the board of SinoHawk. We can all discuss.”

In the following days, the money discussion
escalated into a standoff about the ultimate control of the company.
Bobulinski, who was taking on the CEO role, did not want to have his decisions
overruled by the Bidens, who controlled half the company with the combined
stakes. Hunter Biden pushed back hard, arguing that Ye went in for the deal
solely due to the Biden family name.

“They are both coming to be MY partner to be
partners with the Bidens,” Biden wrote in a group chat on May 17.

The next day, in a text message sent directly to
Bobulinski, Biden outlined his case for getting full control of the company.

“Tony please stop the ‘[you’re] making me nervous’ bull [expletive]. Come on man we both want the same thing. We want to make certain we have as much control over our own fates as possible. I don’t blame you for wanting that – it doesn’t ‘make me nervous’ it is what it is. Just happens that in this instance only one player holds the trump card and that’s me,” Biden wrote.

“May not be fair but it’s the reality because
I’m the only one putting an entire family legacy on the line/ and if you think
it’s reasonable that I turn the keys over to someone that I’ve spent less than
12 hours with than that makes me nervous. So I’m asking you to do us all a
favor and find a different way to alleviate your worries,” Biden added.

The argument then spilled out again into the group chat, with Biden making the case for why he should have more control of the company. At one point, Biden appeared to threaten to break Bobulinski’s jaw, to which Bobulinski responded with an invitation to a fight. The argument exposed that Bobulinski didn’t want to end up being a figurehead CEO to cover for the Biden family’s involvement without any control over the company.

“And to add to it, if you are so worried about
your family, you wouldn’t be doing this because as u said, all of your dad’s
lawyers and any lawyer would advise you and Jim not to touch this with a 100
foot pole,” Bobulinski wrote. “So if you are willing to take risk so be it, I
am willing to stand by your side and take risk as well but there has to be
balance in governance and the board.”

While Joe Biden’s name does not appear in any of
the corporate records disclosed by Bobulinski, the Biden family name was
nonetheless one of the key offerings to Ye from Hunter Biden and his partners.

An April 25, 2017, business proposal (pdf) prepared by the partners for CEFC, features a photo of Joe Biden with Columbian President Juan Manuel Santos. The proposal touts Joe Biden’s relationship with Santos as a “strong one throughout the Obama administration.” A section dedicated to potential CEFC investments in Oman noted that Hunter Biden’s “family & friends” could be used to endorse Ye and CEFC and solicit a special exemption from the leader of Oman to establish a “CEFC vehicle” that is uniquely [sanctioned] by His Highness to omit the required local partner element.”

In a June 1, 2017, letter to Ye, Hunter Biden, after sending wishes from “my family and I,” wrote “I hope you are very happy with the progresses [sic] that has been made in Oman, this in my opinion cements our common belief, that by combining our connects and skills, we will create new opportunities in third geographies and economies, as well as the benefits for our two great countries.”

SinoHawk never got off the ground, but Hunter
Biden and Gilliar appear to have been providing the same services for Ye in a
less formal fashion since as early as February 2016.

In an email to CEFC sent on March 13, 2017, Gilliar referenced “several strategy documents that [were] prepared earlier in our relationship” including a proposal for the CEFC acquisition of Westinghouse Electric Corporation in the United States. The Westinghouse proposal (pdf) attached to that email was dated Feb. 22, 2016.

CEFC China Energy was China’s largest
privately-held oil company before it was caught in Beijing’s crosshairs in
2018. The oil conglomerate made billions of dollars in Russia, Europe, and
parts of Africa, while Ye fostered ties with high-level Chinese Communist Party
(CCP) officials.

Ye has been missing since early 2018 after he
was placed under investigation by the Chinese regime for “suspected economic
crimes” and detained. A state-owned enterprise took control of CEFC in March
2019, and, according to Chinese media Caixin, the firm declared bankruptcy
early this year.

Hunter Biden, James Biden, Gilliar, Walker,
Bobulinski, and the Joe Biden campaign did not respond to requests for comment.

The Cooney Files

In early October 2020, a man named Bevan Cooney
contacted investigative journalist Matthew Tyrmand via his attorney and asked
Tyrmand if he knew anyone who would be interested in accessing a private gmail
inbox that contained a treasure trove of emails and attachments that would help
elucidate the burgeoning Biden foreign influence scandal. Cooney provided
written authorization for us to access and publish his emails.

Tyrmand immediately thought of Peter Schweizer
and the team (including me) that blew the Biden-China, Biden-Ukraine, and other
Biden-corruption stories wide open in 2018, again in 2019, and again in 2020. Schweizer,
Tyrmand, and I got Cooney’s credentials and immediately set to work digging
through Cooney’s emails.

It soon became clear that Cooney was definitively
a Biden associate but somewhat of a fringe player and did not usually communicate
directly with Biden family members (more often with Hunter’s best friend and
frequent business partner Devon Archer).

Despite the fact that Cooney did not communicate
with the Biden’s often, his emails are still immensely valuable as Cooney, Archer
and another Biden associate name Jason Galanis talked very openly about how
they could “leverage Hunter more” and use his direct “pipeline” to the
Obama-Biden administration as a form of “currency.”

Bruner provides never-before-seen emails to Corey’s Digs that reveal:

Biden associates were aware that they should not invoke the Biden name.
They often used code names and obscure references and inside jokes.

Biden associates coordinated meetings for their business partners with Obama-Biden administration officials.

Devon Archer talks candidly about securing new business with oligarchs and even the sovereign wealth fund of Kazakhstan

Archer: we could “literally be handed the keys to the sovereign wealth castle….I’m going full Kazakh!”

One Biden associate used sexual innuendo to convey how excited he was at the prospect of landing a deal with the infamous billionaire Russian oligarch Elena Baturina

Insider Documents Reveal How Hunter Biden Associates Helped Chinese Military Contractor Acquire Michigan Dual-Use Manufacturer Under a Secret Project that the Chinese Code Named “Project Hanson”

In September 2015, the Obama-Biden administration approved the sale of a strategically sensitive Michigan manufacturer, Henniges Automotive, to a firm connected to Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, and a Chinese military contractor that was on an American watch list because of its close ties to the People’s Liberation Army. Hunter Biden’s equity fund, backed by the Communist Chinese government, and the Chinese contractor, Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC), needed special approval for the deal from the Committee of Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS) because Henniges produced technology with potential military use.

AVIC entities have been sanctioned by the United States on five separate occasions since 1993 and the addition to the watch list–a major red flag—occurred less than a year-and-a-half before they co-purchased Henniges with the Biden-led Chinese joint venture known as Bohai Harvest RST (BHR). The fact that CFIUS approved the deal is alarming given that Henniges owns numerous facilities in the United States that are now controlled by a Chinese military front company.

Internal BHR documents show exactly how the
Chinese military contractor was able to disguise its ownership via shell
corporations and formed a joint-venture with the son of the vice president to
facilitate the Chinese takeover of an American dual-use technology supplier.
Additional documents suggest that Hunter Biden’s Chinese-backed venture
funneled money to an entity controlled by Vanessa Kerry, the daughter of
then-Secretary of State John Kerry, just one month before CFIUS approved the
takeover. At the time, Secretary Kerry played a lead role on the Obama-Biden
CFIUS committee.

When news of the AVIC takeover of Michigan-based manufacturer Henniges Automotive hit the wire, Biden’s associates celebrated, calling the transaction a “proof of concept” for future Chinese acquisitions. “Congratulations!!!! Proof of concept again,” read the subject line of Devon Archer’s email on September 15, 2015. “This is great. Let’s get a letter out to Ambassador Baucus ASAP Archie (an apparent Archer nickname),” Bevan Cooney replied. Cooney is a former Biden associate who is now incarcerated for a separate venture—the tribal bond scheme—involving Biden’s business partners. Cooney has provided investigative journalists Peter Schweizer and Matthew Tyrmand with access to his emails with written authorization.

Cooney’s emails (and their attachments) reveal
how Hunter Biden’s BHR viewed the Henniges acquisition—which they code named
“Project Hanson”—as a major coup and a model for future BHR “cross-border”
investments.

Moments after the deal closed, Archer set to work drafting a letter to U.S. Ambassador to China Max Baucus (who happened to be a longtime friend of the Biden family). Archer’s letter was an invitation to Ambassador Baucus to attend a banquet celebration for the deal with esteemed guest including BHR’s communist state-owned “strategic partners” and investors:

I am writing to invite you to a cross-border banquet to celebrate our acquisition of Henniges Automotive. We consummated the transaction earlier this month, in conjunction with our strategic partner, AVIC, for $600 million. I have also attached a news article about the transaction.

This milestone marks our first U.S.-based acquisition. Our strategic partners, including AVIC and Sinopec, will be in attendance, as will our investors, including the Bank of China and China Development Bank. We hope to discuss the opportunities and challenges of cross-border investments for Chinese companies in today’s macro environment. A member of our team has also extended an invitation to your economics advisor – Jonathan Fritz – to speak at the seminar.

The strategic partners and investors that Archer
listed—particularly Sinopec, the Bank of China, and the China Development
Bank—are all State-owned entities and therefore arms of the Chinese Communist
Party whose executives/officials, along with BHR, clearly wanted to celebrate
the Henniges coup.

Indeed, Hunter Biden’s Chinese business partners were pleased. One internal BHR document states in both English and Mandarin Chinese: “We are incredibly proud of the perseverance, dedication and ingenuity of the Project Hanson team who collectively brought to life the first-born of BHR’s cross-border investment platform, the first of many to come.”

Roger Robinson, a former senior director for international economic affairs on President Ronald Reagan’s National Security Council, claims that “the U.S. government has known for years that AVIC has been helping China’s military and aiding U.S. enemies and as such was sanctioned in the past.” AVIC’s well-known and long-established ties to the Chinese military-industrial complex makes the Obama-Biden administration’s approval “all the more curious.” “This is anything but a benign Chinese enterprise,” said Robinson.

But BHR and AVIC’s Project Hanson helped
obfuscate and ameliorate the AVIC connections by creating a complex ownership
structure. One internal BHR document reveals precisely how the Chinese military
front company was able to disguise its true ownership in a byzantine off-shore
structure, presumably obfuscating the fact that the Chinese military was taking
over U.S. company whose technology is on the restricted Commerce Control List
(“Target” refers to U.S. military supplier Henniges Automotive):

Another internal BHR document contains a shocking revelation: Devon Archer facilitated Chinese “support” for an entity called Seed Global Health. Seed Global Health was co-founded and controlled by the daughter of Secretary John Kerry. According to BHR’s December 2015 internal document: “A special shout out to our director and shareholder, Devon Archer, for his involvement with the Seed Global Health non-profit foundation, which works to send medical staff and resources globally to countries in need. BHR will continue to support this and other worthy causes.”

It appears that BHR is referring to a fundraiser hosted by Devon Archer for Secretary Kerry’s daughter and her Seed Global Health organization that occurred on August 16, 2015—less than one month before Kerry’s State Department and the rest of the Obama-Biden CFIUS agencies approved Henniges takeover.  The politically connected Seed Global Health has previously come under fire for receiving more than $9 million in State Department funds without bids or competition and, in 2018, an executive at Seed Global Health was charged by federal prosecutors for violating federal conflict of interest laws and illegal lobbying.

Biden Defector’s Emails Reveal Hunter’s Associates Viewed Direct ‘Pipeline’ to Administration as ‘Currency’

As Schweizer and I broke on Breitbart, Hunter Biden’s business associates spoke candidly in emails about Hunter Biden’s role in the business, particularly as it related to foreign ventures, apparently viewing the Biden name as a form of “currency,” and bragging that they had a “direct…pipeline” to the Obama-Biden Administration.

In another email, Hunter Biden’s associates
touted Hunter’s access to the White House and contrasted his willingness to
“take on risk” with that of Chris Heinz—then-Secretary of State John Kerry’s
stepson and a close friend of Biden and Archer—who was uncomfortable with some
of their potential partnerships.

In October 2013, Hunter Biden’s associates (including Devon Archer) discussed which one of their corporate vehicles would be appropriate for a new deal they were working on. Archer noted their need to use a “Rosemont Seneca SPV” (also known as a special purpose vehicle) because Rosemont Capital was too close to the Heinz family and because using an SPV could “bring Hunter into the mix.” Archer explained his desire “to leverage Hunter more” in a way that didn’t involve Heinz, who Archer called “much more risk averse.”

Another benefit of the Rosemont Seneca SPV was,
per an October 5 email from Hunter Biden and Devon Archer’s business associate
Bevan Cooney to Archer, it “would be good to put some honey in Hunter’s
pocket.” That same day Archer responded: “Agreed. I also have more autonomy
with that company as I own it with Hunter and he’s willing to take on risk…
Hunter will work if we need him too [sic] as well.”

Five days later, Biden’s business associate Jason Galanis confirmed to Archer that he had changed the corporate references in the proposal to include a Hunter Biden-controlled firm. Archer replied, clearly pleased. “Perfect. Let’s just keep to that. We get the Biden lift and stay out of Heinz panties.” Archer had noted he would use Rosemont Seneca Partners instead of Rosemont Capital, in which Heinz held a stake. Hunter Biden and Devon Archer’s Rosemont Seneca Partners would play a pivotal role in their future deals.

For example, in December 2013, Rosemont Seneca Partners finalized a deal with the Chinese government-backed investment vehicle, Bohai Harvest, to form Bohai Harvest RST, a new firm in which Hunter Biden would maintain a 10% equity stake and whose funds would grow to at least $1.5 billion.

Soon after that deal (and after Biden and Archer joined the board of Ukraine’s Burisma Holdings), Heinz made moves to sever his formal business ties with Archer and Biden in May 2014. Just hours after Burisma’s announcement that Biden and Archer had joined the board, Heinz emailed top aides for his step-father and then-Secretary of State John Kerry, alerting them to the potentially compromising arrangement. “Apparently Devon and Hunter both joined the board of Burisma and a press release went out today,” Heinz said. “I can’t speak why they decided to, but there was no investment by our firm in their company.”

But Heinz’s concerns apparently did not deter
Biden and his associates from continuing to leverage the Biden family name to
pursue questionable business arrangements.

In an email on November 4, 2014, Biden’s
business associate Jason Galanis discussed a draft pitch that he was preparing
for possible investors. Galanis explained that the presentation would cover
boilerplate issues like investor protections. But Galanis also sought to
emphasize their connections to the White House, specifically Vice President Joe
Biden: “I wanted to focus on the ‘other currency’ we are bringing to the table…direct
administration pipeline.” Galanis also mentioned dropping Joe Biden’s
connections in their pitch when dealing with union pension funds. Galanis
wrote, “maybe we should also remind of HB’s dad’s union relationships to
justify the ask??”

In a March 2015, draft investor pitch, Biden’s associates wrote about the need to “leverage Hunter Biden Taft Hartley network.” Taft Hartley is the law governing union pension funds, and Joe Biden has a long-established history of close relationships with union bosses, which Hunter Biden and Joe’s brother James Biden have reportedly sought to capitalize on in the past. The presentation noted that the team “led by Archer and Biden” would create “unprecedented opportunity for a firm at our scale,” and referenced tapping finances from Chinese officials. In December 2013, as has been widely reported, Biden and Archer secured a $1 billion private equity deal financed by the Chinese government. Biden and his associates wanted to go back for even more Chinese money.

In the March 2015, draft investor pitch, Biden’s associates outlined the plan to leverage family clout for more foreign cash. In a section outlining where investments would come from, Biden’s associates described capital flowing from “China>USA” and “Former CCP [Chinese Communist Party]>USA.” And the presentation also proposed more cross-border business deals involving “China SOE [State Owned Enterprises]” and “Former CCP Energy.”

The above quotes are taken directly from a trove
of 26,000 emails and attachments from Hunter Biden and Devon Archer’s business
associate Bevan Cooney. These emails—provided to Schweizer from Cooney via
journalist Matthew Tyrmand—are completely separate from the emails released by
the New York Post (purportedly derived from a backup of Hunter
Biden’s laptop hard drive).

Cooney is currently serving time in federal
prison for his role in the tribal bond scheme that also resulted in the
conviction of Devon Archer on conspiracy and securities fraud charges. Archer
currently awaits sentencing for that conviction.

This is China, Inc.’: Emails Reveal Hunter Biden’s Associates Helped Communist-Aligned Chinese Elites Secure White House Meetings

The Newly obtained emails from a Hunter Biden
business partner lay out in detail how the Vice President’s son and his
colleagues used their access to the Obama-Biden administration to arrange private
meetings for potential foreign clients and investors at the highest levels in
the White House. These never-before-revealed emails outline how a delegation of
Chinese investors and Communist Party officials managed to secure a private,
off-the-books meeting with then-Vice President Joe Biden.

In a 2011 email, Hunter Biden’s business
associates also discussed developing relations with what one called “China
Inc.” as part of a “new push on soft diplomacy for the Chinese.” These emails
are completely unconnected to the Hunter Biden emails being released by the New York Post.

These and more explosive never-before-revealed
emails were provided to Schweizer by Bevan Cooney, a one-time Hunter Biden and
Devon Archer business associate. Cooney is currently in prison serving a
sentence for his involvement in a 2016 bond fraud investment scheme.

In 2019, Cooney reached out to Schweizer after
becoming familiar with the revelations in his 2018 book Secret Empires. Cooney
explained that he believes he was the “fall guy” for the fraud scheme and that
Archer and Hunter Biden had avoided responsibility.

Archer, who was also convicted in the case, saw a federal judge vacate his conviction. But an appellate court overturned the lower court judge’s ruling, reinstating Archer’s conviction in the case. Archer, Hunter Biden’s longtime business partner, awaits sentencing.

Cooney, their associate who is currently serving
a prison sentence on his conviction in the matter, later reestablished contact
with Schweizer through investigative journalist Matthew Tyrmand. From prison,
Cooney provided Schweizer with written authorization, his email account name,
and password to his Gmail account to retrieve these emails. He authorized, in
writing, the publication of these emails— notable because it is the first time
a close associate has publicly confirmed Hunter’s trading on his father’s
influence.

The emails offer a unique window into just how
the Biden universe conducted business during the Obama-Biden Administration.
These associates sought to trade on Hunter Biden’s relationship with, and
access to, his father and the Obama-Biden White House in order to generate
business.

For instance, on November 5, 2011, one of Archer’s business contacts forwarded him an email teasing an opportunity to gain “potentially outstanding new clients” by helping to arrange White House meetings for a group of Chinese executives and government officials. The group was the China Entrepreneur Club (CEC) and the delegation included Chinese billionaires, Chinese Communist Party loyalists, and at least one “respected diplomat” from Beijing. Despite its benign name, CEC has been called “a second foreign ministry” for the People’s Republic of China—a communist government that closely controls most businesses in its country. CEC was established in 2006 by a group of businessmen and Chinese government diplomats.

CEC’s leadership boasts numerous senior members of the Chinese Communist Party, including Wang Zhongyu (“vice chairman of the 10th CPPCC National Committee and deputy secretary of the Party group”), Ma Weihua (director of multiple Chinese Communist Party offices), and Jiang Xipei (member of the Chinese Communist Party and representative of the 16th National Congress), among others.

“I know it is political season and people are
hesitant but a group like this does not come along every day,” an intermediary
named Mohamed A. Khashoggi wrote on behalf of the CEC to an associate of Hunter
Biden and Devon Archer. “A tour of the white house and a meeting with a member
of the chief of staff’s office and John Kerry would be great,” Khashoggi said
before including what should have been a major red flag: “Not sure if one has
to be registered to do this.” Presumably, Khashoggi meant a registered lobbyist
under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

Khashoggi believed the trip presented “a soft
diplomacy play that could be very effective” and would give Hunter Biden’s
business partners “good access to [the Chinese] for any deal in the future.”

Indeed, the email boasted of CEC’s wealthy membership:
CEC’s current membership includes 50 preeminent figures such as: Liu Chuanzhi, Chairman of the CEC, Legend Holdings and Lenovo Group; Wu Jinglian, Zhang Weiying, and Zhou Qiren, China’s esteemed economists; Wu Jianmin, respected diplomat; Long Yongtu, representative of China’s globalization; Wang Shi (Vanke); Ma Weihua (China Merchants Bank); Jack Ma (Alibaba Group); Guo Guangchang (Fosun Group); Wang Jianlin, (Wanda Group); Niu Gensheng (LAONIU Foundation); Li Shufu (Geely); Li Dongsheng (TCL Corporation); Feng Lun (Vantone) and etc.

The gross income of the CEC members’ companies
allegedly “totaled more than RMB 1.5 trillion, together accounting for roughly
4% of China’s GDP.” The overture to Hunter Biden’s associates described the
Chinese CEC members variously as “industrial elites,” “highly influential,” and
among “the most important private sector individuals in China today.”

Before contacting Hunter Biden’s associates, the
CEC had been trying to get meetings with top Obama-Biden administration
officials to no avail. “From the DC side as you will see below they [CEC] have
written letters to several members of the administration and others and have so
far not had a strong reaction.”

“This is China Inc,” wrote Khashoggi in the
email, referring to the delegation of Chinese billionaires.

“Biggest priority for the CEC group is to see
the White House, and have a senior US politician, or senior member of Obama’s
administration, give them a tour… If your friend in DC can help, we would be
extremely grateful,” Khashoggi emphasized.

Hunter Biden and Devon Archer apparently
delivered for the Chinese Communist Party-connected industrial elites within
ten days .

The original Oct. 19, 2011, email from Khashoggi
was sent to Gary Fears — a controversial political fundraiser with a checkered
history who was caught up in a riverboat casino scandal in the mid-1990s — who
forwarded it on to Archer a couple weeks later on Nov. 5, 2011.

Time was short, as Khashoggi’s original email
noted that the Chinese delegation would be in DC on Nov. 14, 2011. Fears told
Archer to “reach out” to Khashoggi about the request regarding getting the
Chinese businesspersons and officials into the Obama White House, adding it
would be “perfect for” Archer to also “attend” with them and then “get guys for
the potash deal.”

The same day Fears sent Khashoggi’s message to
him, Archer took the email from Fears and sent to Khashoggi a business proposal
for a potash mine deal he had lined up.

Six days after the initial overture, Archer received a followup email
asking how a meeting with CEC’s representative went. The email closed with “Do
me a favor and ask Hunter [Biden] to call me — I’ve tried reaching him a couple
of times.” Archer responded, “Hunter is traveling in the UAE for the week with
royalty so probably next week before he will be back in pocket…. The meeting
with [CEC representative] was good. Seems like there is a lot to do together
down the line. Probably not a fit for the current Potash private placement but
he’s a good strategic relationship as the mine develops. Definitely have a
drink with Mohammed and let him know how impressed I was with his whole deal.”

One minute later, Archer sent a follow-up email,
“Couldn’t confirm this with Hunter on the line but we got him his meeting at
the WH Monday for the Chinese folks.”

On the day of the meeting, November 14, 2011,
Cooney emailed Fears to confirm that Archer “got the Chinese guys all taken
care of in DC.”

The Obama-Biden Administration archives reveal that this Chinese delegation did indeed visit the White House on November 14, 2011, and enjoyed high-level access. The delegation included approximately thirty members, according to White House visitor logs. But those records also obscure perhaps the most important item for the Chinese delegation: a meeting with Vice President Joe Biden himself.

The visitor logs list Jeff Zients, the deputy director of Obama’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB), as the host of the CEC delegation. Obama had tasked Zients with restructuring and ultimately consolidating the various export-import agencies under the Commerce Department—an effort in which the Chinese delegation would have a keen interest.

A trip itinerary posted by the CEC also confirms the delegation met with Obama’s then-recently-confirmed Commerce Secretary John Bryson.

Curiously, the Obama-Biden visitor logs do not mention any meeting with Vice President Joe Biden. But the Vice President’s off-the-books meeting was revealed by one of the core founders of the CEC. In an obscure document listing the CEC members’ biographies, CEC Secretary General Maggie Cheng alleges that she facilitated the CEC delegation meetings in Washington in 2011 and boasts of the Washington establishment figures that CEC met with. The first name she dropped was that of Vice President Joe Biden.

The relationships established during that visit may have benefited Hunter Biden and Devon Archer down the road. Two years later, they famously helped to form the Chinese government funded Bohai Harvest RST (BHR) investment fund. One of BHR’s first major portfolio investments was a ride-sharing company like Uber called Didi Dache—now called Didi Chuxing Technology Co. That company is closely connected to Liu Chuanzhi, the chairman of the China Entrepreneur Club (CEC) and the founder of Legend Holdings—the parent company of Lenovo, one of the world’s largest computer companies. Liu is a former Chinese Communist Party delegate and was a leader of the 2011 CEC delegation to the White House. His daughter was the President of Didi.

Liu has long been involved in CCP politics, including serving as a representative to the 9th, 10th, and 11th sessions of the National People’s Congress of the PRC and as a representative to the 16th and 17th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. Liu was the Vice Chairman of the 8th and 9th Executive Committee of All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC), an organization known to be affiliated with the Chinese United Front.

Senate Homeland Security Committee Revealed That Biden’s Apparent Conflicts of Interests Posed National Security Risk

Senators Grassley and Johnson’s joint-committee report provides a
detailed roadmap to the Bidens’ connections to hostile foreign governments and
individuals, including convicted criminals. The main characters that enriched
the Bidens are reportedly from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and China.

Executive Summary of Senate Report on Biden Family Corruption:

• In early 2015 former Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in
  Kyiv, Ukraine, George Kent raised
  concerns to officials in Vice President Joe Biden’s office about the perception
  of a conflict of interest with respect to Hunter Biden’s role on Burisma’s
  board.  Kent’s concerns went unaddressed and in September 2016, he
  emphasized in an email to his colleagues, “Furthermore, the presence of Hunter Biden on the Burisma
  board was very awkward for all U.S. officials pushing an anticorruption agenda
  in Ukraine.”

• In October 2015, senior State Department official Amos Hochstein
  raised concerns with Vice President Biden, as well as with Hunter Biden, that Hunter Biden’s position on Burisma’s board
  enabled Russian disinformation efforts and risked undermining U.S. policy in
  Ukraine.

• Hunter Biden was serving on Burisma’s board (supposedly consulting on
  corporate governance and transparency) when Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky allegedly paid a $7 million bribe to officials
  serving under Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Vitaly Yarema, to “shut the case
  against Zlochevsky.” George Kent testified that this bribe occurred in December
  2014 (seven months after Hunter Biden joined Burisma’s board), and,
  after learning about it, he and the resident legal adviser reported
  this allegation to the FBI.

• In addition to the over four million dollars paid by Burisma
  to Hunter Biden and his business partner, Devon Archer, for membership on
  the board, Hunter, his family, and
  Archer received millions of dollars from foreign nationals with questionable
  backgrounds.
• Devon Archer received $142,300 from
  Kenges Rakishev of Kazakhstan, purportedly for a car, the same day Vice
  President Joe Biden appeared with Ukrainian Prime Minister Arsemy Yasenyuk and addressed Ukrainian legislators in Kyiv regarding Russia’s
  actions in Crimea.

• Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million
  wire transfer from Elena Baturina. Ms. Baturina is Russia’s richest female oligarch
  and the wife (widow) of the former mayor of Moscow.

• Hunter Biden had business associations
  with Ye Jianming, Gongwen Dong, and other Chinese nationals linked to the
  Communist government and People’s Liberation Army. Those associations resulted in millions of dollars in questionable
  transactions. 

• Hunter Biden opened a bank account with
  Gongwen Dong that financed a $100,000 global spending spree with James
  Biden and Sara Biden.

• Hunter Biden also moved millions of
  dollars from his law firm to James Biden’s and Sara Biden’s firm.  Upon
  being questioned about the transaction, Sara Biden refused to provide
  supporting documentation and information to more clearly explain
  the activity. The bank subsequently closed the account.

• Hunter Biden paid nonresident women who
  were nationals of Russia or other Eastern European countries and who appear to
  be linked to an “Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring.”

Indeed, Obama-Biden-era State Department
officials (including Marie Yovanovitch and George—the star witnesses during
Trump’s impeachment hoax) were well aware that Vice President Joe Biden’s
proximity to the corrupt Ukrainian gas Burisma (via Biden’s son) created a
terrible perception of a conflict of interest. Yovanovitch even acknowledged
that Biden’s name was mentioned in connection to an alleged “bribe” scheme.

In addition to cataloguing the numerous examples
of Biden’s conflicts of interest and the threats that those conflicts posed to
U.S. national security, Senator Johnson’s and Senator Grassley’s Homeland
Security report exposed a gallery of rogues—a cast of shady foreign
characters—ingratiating themselves to the Obama-Biden White House through
financial deals made with the Biden family.

Senate Committee on Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs and the Senate Committee on Finance released their highly
anticipated report on Hunter Biden’s extensive dealings with China, Russia, and
Ukraine while his father Joe Biden served as vice president. 

The joint report reveals that Hunter Biden
received taxpayer-funded accommodations including transportation aboard Air
Force Two and Secret Service security details while he traveled to make
business deals with Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian entities. According to the
report, Hunter Biden received Secret Service protection on trips to multiple
foreign locations, including Moscow, Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, Hong Kong, and
dozens of other cities. 

The joint committee investigation into the
Bidens’ potential conflicts of interest “began in August 2019, with Finance
Committee Chairman Grassley’s letter to the Department of the Treasury
regarding potential conflicts of interest with respect to Obama administration
policy relating to the Henniges transaction,” a controversial deal linked to
the Bidens.

The Senate report provides a detailed roadmap, exposing
the Bidens’ connections to hostile foreign governments and individuals,
including convicted criminals. Quoted material below is from the joint
committee report (except the quotes appearing within the report itself).

The main characters reportedly enriching the Bidens are from Russia,
Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and China: 

Vice President Joe Biden admiring People’s Liberation Army (PLA) with Chinese Communist leader Xu Jinping. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden bagged millions while he helped the Chinese takeover American companies with sensitive military applications

Ye Jianming is a Chinese national with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Chinese military, also known as the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). He is the founder of China Energy Fund Committee and CEFC China Energy Co. Ltd. Ye allegedly wired massive sums of money through CEFC and related entities resulting in “millions of dollars in cash flow” benefitting the Biden family. Multiple transactions between Ye Jianming’s enterprise and Hunter Biden were flagged by the U.S. Treasury Department for “potential criminal financial activity,” and in February 2018 Ye Jianming was reportedly under investigation in China for “suspected economic crimes.”

According to the report: 

“Ye Jianming is a Chinese businessman and a frequent figure in Hunter Biden’s financial dealings in China. Based on public reports that were available in 2015, when his contact with Biden began to ramp up, Ye was a founder of CEFC China Energy Co. Ltd (CEFC) and served as chairman of the board for its subsidiary, the China Energy Fund Committee (CE Fund). CEFC had a reported income estimated at $33.4 billion, according to 2013 figures that were available at the time. Although CEFC reportedly remained a private company until state-owned enterprises assumed control of it in 2018, reporting in 2017 indicated that it received financing from the China Development Bank, ‘hired a number of former top officials from state-owned energy companies’ and had ‘layers of Communist Party committees across its subsidiaries — more than at many private Chinese companies.…’

In addition to the Communist government, Ye also had reported
connections and affiliations to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). For
example, from 2003 to 2005, Ye reportedly served as deputy secretary general of
the China Association for International Friendly Contacts (CAIFC), which is the
public name for the PLA General Political Department’s International Liaison
Department. Additionally, in 2014, under Ye’s leadership, CE Fund had
co-organized events with the China Huayi Broadcasting Corporation (CHBC), a
company incorporated by the PLA General Political Department. The CEO of CHBC,
Wang Shu, was commander of the PLA General Political Department base ‘at the
forefront of applied psychological operations and propaganda directed against
Taiwan,’ which was managed by a training center that was funded by a subsidiary
of CEFC….Wang reportedly attended the 2014 CE Fund and CHBC event along with Xu
Jialu, a man who was associated with the PLA’s CAIFC as well as CE Fund and
China’s Confucius Institutes. Huasheng served as executive director of CE
Fund’s China Institute of Culture Limited (CIOC), ‘a nationally supported
organization in charge of “promoting Chinese culture.”‘ Accordingly, Ye and his
associates had robust relationships with China’s military units, some of which
were involved in matters in direct opposition to U.S. policy in the
region.” 

GongWen Dong is a Chinese national with deep
ties to the Chinese communist regime and the Chinese military. GongWen Dong
“was Ye Jianming’s associate and reportedly executed transactions for his
companies.” As Ye Jianming’s associate, GongWen Dong helped funnel millions of
dollars to Hunter Biden and even facilitated a six-figure “global spending
spree” for Hunter Biden and Joe Biden’s brother James Biden and James’ wife
Sara Biden. 

According to the report: 

“On 09/08/2017, Hunter Biden and GongWen Dong applied online to Cathay
Bank and opened a line of credit under the business name Hudson West III, LLC.
The cards were collateralized by transferring $99,000.00 from a Cathay Bank
account to the Hudson West III business account where the funds were held until
the cards were closed. The authorized users of these credit cards include
Hunter Biden, James Biden and Sara Biden and each used the cards around the
world to purchase $101,291 worth of extravagant items to include airline
tickets, multiple purchases at Apple Stores and pharmacies, as well as hotels
and restaurants.”

Patrick Ho is a Chinese national and close
associate of Ye Jianming. He was also a reported client of Hunter Biden,
personally, and was co-represented by Hunter Biden’s former law firm Boies
Schiller Flexner. Ho was convicted by the U.S. Justice Department for money
laundering, conspiracy, and violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (which
deals with international bribery schemes).

Patrick Ho was convicted in 2019 on money
laundering, conspiracy, and FCPA charges after the U.S. Department of Justice
charged him in November 2017. Hunter Biden was paid massive sums to counsel Ho
even as Joe Biden was preparing to run for President.

According to the report:

“In November 2017, Ye Jianming’s associate and Hunter Biden’s reported
client, Patrick Ho, was arrested and charged with violations of the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act, international money laundering, and conspiracy to commit
both. The first call that he reportedly made was to James Biden, who reportedly
referred him to Hunter Biden. Ho was convicted in March 2019 on charges of
money laundering, conspiracy, and violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act and was sentenced to three years in U.S. prison for his role in a
multimillion-dollar scheme to bribe officials in Chad and Uganda in exchange
for business advantages for CEFC, Ye’s company. Department of Justice documents
describe Ye as Patrick Ho’s boss and, again, note that Ye’s company supplied
funding to the China Energy Fund Committee. Ho worked as the secretary-general
of the committee during the period when he was carrying out his illegal
schemes.”

Elena Baturina is a billionaire Russian oligarch
and the widow of the former mayor of Moscow. Baturina, who is reportedly close
to Putin, has received hundreds of millions of dollars in illicit money through
corruption schemes, according to the report. In February 2014, the Russian
oligarch wired $3.5 million to a Delaware-based entity co-founded by Hunter Biden
called Rosemont Seneca Thornton LLC.

According to the report: 

“Hunter Biden and his associate, [Devon] Archer, had a financial relationship
with Russian businesswoman Elena Baturina. Baturina is the former wife of the
late Yuri Luzhkov, who was the mayor of Moscow and was fired in 2010 by
then-Russian president Dmitry Medvedev over corruption allegations. Baturina
became Russia’s only female billionaire when her plastics company, Inteko,
received a series of Moscow municipal contracts while her husband was mayor.
According to reporting, ‘Luzhkov used his position as mayor to approve over 20
real estate projects that were built by a Baturina-owned construction company
and ultimately generated multibillion-ruble profits for his family.’ In
addition, a Russian investigation led to a criminal case against the former
head of the Bank of Moscow, Andrey Borodin, who ‘allegedly used money from the
Moscow City Budget to lend money to shell companies, which ultimately
transferred $443 million to Baturina.’”

Kenges Rakishev is a businessman and the
son-in-law of a prominent Kazakh politician who has close ties to longtime
Kazakh dictator, President Nursultan Nazarbayev. Rakishev is the sole
shareholder of a company called Novatus Holding, which wired $143,300 to
Rosemont Seneca Bohai (an entity controlled by Hunter Biden and Devon Archer).
At the time of the transfer, Rakishev’s father-in-law was the mayor of
Kazakhstan’s capital city, Astana.

Kenges Rakishev is the son-in-law of a prominent Kazakh
politician with close ties to longtime Kazakh dictator Nazarbayev

According to the report: 

“At the time of Vice President Biden’s visit to Kyiv, there were
divided opinions in Kazakhstan over Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the
international situation had produced tension in the region generally.
Nazarbayev’s government reportedly shifted positions over time, and Nazarbayev
reportedly made some statements supportive of Russia’s actions. Given
Rakishev’s close connection to political leadership in Kazakhstan, the tense
political situation, Hunter Biden’s longstanding relationship with Archer and
involvement in transactions with Rosemont Seneca Bohai, and the fact that the
payment was timed perfectly with Vice President Biden’s visit to Kyiv to
discuss U.S. sanctions against Russia for the invasion of Crimea, the April 22,
2014 payment from Rakishev to Rosemont Seneca Bohai raises serious questions.
It is unclear why a foreign company, Novatus Holding, would purchase a $142,300
car for Rosemont Seneca Bohai when the company does not deal in vehicles.”

Mykola Zlochevsky is the Ukrainian oligarch who
founded Burisma. Zlochevsky has been accused of criminal activity amounting to
massive corruption in multiple countries including Ukraine and the United
Kingdom. Zlochevsky allegedly sought favor with the United States via the vice
president by funneling money to Biden family associates — primarily Hunter
Biden and Devon Archer. 

According to the report: 

“Hunter Biden was serving on Burisma’s board (supposedly consulting on
corporate governance and transparency) when Zlochevsky allegedly paid a $7
million bribe to officials serving under Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Vitaly
Yarema, to ‘shut the case against Zlochevsky.’ [U.S. diplomat George] Kent
testified that this bribe occurred in December 2014 (seven months after Hunter
joined Burisma’s board), and, after learning about it, he and the Resident
Legal Advisor reported this allegation to the FBI.”

Devon Archer
Hunter Biden’s Russian, Ukrainian, and Chinese business partners were not the only ones with criminal allegations against them. Hunter Biden’s close friend and business partner Devon Archer was indicted for a massive fraud scheme (though Archer himself beat the charges). 

Devon Archer was implicated in a massive Native
American tribal bond scheme (the native Americans were allegedly scammed by
Archer and his associates”

According to the report:

“In May 2016, Hunter Biden’s business partner, Archer, and five others
were arrested and criminally charged in a scheme to defraud investors and a
tribal entity of millions of dollars. Starting Jan. 25, 2016, Burisma began
sending regular payments for Biden to his Washington law firm, Owasco PC
(Owasco). Owasco was incorporated on Jan. 19, 2006, lists an agent address in
Washington, and lists its executing officer and governor as Robert Hunter
Biden. Payments from Burisma to Owasco continued throughout most of 2016 and
ceased eight days after Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the Nov. 8,
2016 presidential election. Between Jan. 25, 2016, and Nov. 16, 2016, Burisma
sent nine wires totaling $752,054.99 to Owasco with each of the nine
transactions listing ‘Owasco, PC/Robert Biden’ as the recipient. Of the nine,
two payments were for $83,333.33, five were for $83,333 one was for $84,992.33,
and one was for $83,731.291 The records acquired by the Committees show the
last documented payment was made on Nov. 16, 2016. Biden continued to serve on
Burisma’s board of directors until April 2019.”

The joint-committee report states that the
Senate committees experienced delays, including due to instances of
“obstructive behavior,” and that the transactions detailed within the report
“raise criminal concerns.”

The Biden campaign issued a statement before the
report was released accusing Senator Johnson of pushing “a long-disproven
hardcore right-wing conspiracy theory” and trying “to subsidize a foreign
attack against the sovereignty of our elections with taxpayer dollars,”
referring to the foreign sources that Johnson and Grassley’s report cited.
However, the Biden campaign has not has not yet addressed the numerous
allegations contained in the report that are based on non-partisan financial
records called Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) issued by the U.S. Treasury
Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

Regarding his work in China and Ukraine, Hunter
Biden has previously admitted to “poor judgement” but denied any “ethical
lapse.” After the Senate report was released, Hunter Biden’s daughter, Naomi
Biden, posted a series of tweets defending her father: “Here’s a thread on my
dad, Hunter Biden — free of charge to the taxpayers and free of the corrosive influence
of power-at-all-costs politics. The truth of a man filled with love, integrity,
and human struggles.”

Spokespersons for Devon Archer and James Biden have not yet responded to requests for comment. The Biden campaign has also not responded to a request for comment on these and many other stories.
