The images from the National Archives prove once again that the president lied about not having contact with his family’s foreign business partners, writes the New York Post.

The National Archives has finally released photos showing then-Vice President Biden meeting with two of Hunter’s Chinese business partners.

This proves once again that the president lied about having no contact with the family’s foreign business partners, writes the New York Post.

The photos, released long after they gained political significance and days before Biden leaves the White House, also show Chinese President Xi Jinping grinning as the vice president introduced his son during the infamous trip to Beijing in December 2013.

The Post writes that the meeting between Xi and Hunter Biden, which had not previously received much attention, appears to have been during a meal Hunter described in an email to his former co-worker Devon Archer as “pretty amazing”.</p

Hunter wrote that his father and China’s powerful authoritarian leader were originally supposed to spend two hours together, but that it stretched to seven hours. “I think they are in love,” Hunter wrote.

Xi was about two months into his ambitious “Belt and Road” campaign for foreign influence and investment. The Chinese state-backed company BHR Partners (BHR), which was in line with this vision, was about to be launched by Hunter and his partners.

The images from the national archives would have been politically explosive if released during the now-concluded impeachment trial into corruption in the Biden family, writes The Post.

Joe Biden later wrote letters of recommendation for Jonathan Li’s two children to US universities. According to Devon Archer, Joe Biden spoke to Li in a subsequent phone call when Hunter returned to Beijing.

The Wall Street Journal reported that 12 days after the Biden family’s trip to Beijing in 2013, BHR Partners was officially registered as a company in the US.

The firm played an important role in overseas acquisitions for China, including the purchase of a cobalt mine in Congo in 2016 from US and Canadian companies. Cobalt is used in batteries for electric cars, according to The Post.

Hunter Biden had a 10% stake in BHR while his father was president, but relinquished control to his “sugar brother” Kevin Morris, who has loaned Hunter a sum believed to be over $6.5 million. They met at a fundraiser for Biden’s campaign in 2019.

The images were released to the America First Legal Foundation (AFL) in response to a government transparency lawsuit. The group, which is led by Donald Trump’s adviser Stephen Miller, wrote on X:

AFL obtained the images through our lawsuit against the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), which was filed on 8 September 2022.

NARA had planned to release these images on 23 October 2024, thirteen days before Election Day. Lawyers and representatives for President Biden and President Obama delayed NARA’s release of these images, as they did with other critical documents, until after Election Day.

The photos do not document Joe Biden’s interactions with associates of his brother James and Hunter from another large Chinese state-affiliated company, according to The Post.

This money was a thank you for the groundwork done while Biden was still vice president, Walker said.

Hunter Biden claimed in his testimony against his father in the impeachment trial that he could not remember his father’s lunch meeting with Ye. According to sources, Ye Jianming has since disappeared after Xi launched an anti-corruption campaign.

In a May 2017 email from Biden associate James Gilliar, he spoke of a 10 per cent cut for “the big guy”, referring to Joe Biden. Another former associate of the family, Tony Bobulinski, said he spoke to Joe Biden that same month about the CEFC venture.

The CEFC effort focused, among other things, on Chinese attempts to buy US natural gas.

“I had no contact with their partners,” Biden told a New York Post reporter in March, about five months before he withdrew from the presidential race. Republicans then closed the impeachment case in August with a report accusing Biden of abuse of power.

You didn’t have dinner or lunch or grab a coffee together?” the Post reporter asked, citing testimony that said he did just that.

No, the president said.

Last December, Biden denied meeting with his son’s and brother’s partners, saying:</p

I did not. And that’s just a bunch of lies. That’s a bunch of lies. I didn’t. That’s a lie.

He was asked about an Associated Press poll showing that nearly 70% of Americans, including 40% of Democrats, believed he had acted either illegally or unethically in connection with his family’s business dealings abroad.

Hunter Biden acknowledged a number of meetings between his father and his business associates, including the meeting with Li, but claimed in his testimony at the impeachment trial that they were brief.

Republicans are accusing Biden of misleading the public about his role in his family’s foreign business dealings, according to the New York Post.

Both Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson claimed that Biden took a softer stance on China than was warranted on issues ranging from the export of fentanyl, espionage and COVID-19 origins due to his family receiving money from the Chinese government.

Hunter Biden confirmed in testimony that while his father was vice president, Hunter Biden organised dinners at Washington’s Cafe Milano in 2014 and 2015 with his father and his business associates from Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine.

Joe and Hunter Biden were photographed at one of these dinners with a group from Kazakhstan, including Kenes Rakishev, who bought Hunter a $142,000 sports car.

Another dinner guest was Vadym Pozharskyi, chairman of Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings. Pozharskyi paid Hunter a salary of $1 million from the beginning of 2014, when his father assumed control of the Obama-Biden administration’s policy in Ukraine.

Pozharskyi’s thank-you letter to Hunter was the subject of the New York Post’s first report on the PC “from hell” in October 2020. Joe Biden’s campaign denied the report, claiming that official calendars showed no such meeting and falsely claiming that the documents were a “Russian plant” during the final debate before the 2020 election.

On 1 December, Joe Biden issued a sweeping pardon of his son, barring potential criminal charges for unregistered foreign lobbying. The pardon could have investigated his own role in business dealings, according to the New York Post.

Many say that the pardon of his son Hunter was actually a pardon of himself.

 

The Bidens are the most corrupt family in American politics
