Despite constant public claims he was not involved in or knew of his son Hunter's overseas business dealings, congressional investigators reveal that while Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden used a secret government email address 327 times to communicate with Hunter's business partner.
The U.S. House Ways and Means Committee “voted to release 56 new pages of evidence showing that then-Vice President Joe Biden used multiple email aliases and private email addresses to communicate with his son's business associate and main financial architect, directly refuting previous public statements the President has made that he had no knowledge of his son's business dealings,” the Committee announced in a statement.
“The President appears now to not only have had knowledge but also been intimately involved in Hunter Biden's business dealings. The material released today further corroborates the previous testimony of IRS agents Joseph Ziegler and Gary Shapley highlighting the incredible level of access Hunter Biden and his business partners had in Joe Biden's public office while working for foreign businesses,” the Committee notes.
“Through months of testifying for hours and producing hundreds of pages of documentation, and just as many months of baseless attacks against them, their story has remained the same and their credibility intact. The same cannot be said for President Biden,” Chairman Jason Smith said in an executive session hearing with IRS whistleblowers Joseph Ziegler and Gary Shapley, who helped expose how Hunter Biden was shielded from prosecution.
“So far, our witnesses have produced over eleven-hundred pages of evidence, sat for 14 hours of closed-door testimony with counsel from the majority and minority on this committee, testified publicly before the Oversight Committee, and today, have provided us with new evidence,” said Smith.
In that hearing Smith detailed Joe Biden's involvement in Hunter's influence-peddling operation.
“Vice President Biden appears to have treated Air Force 2 like a corporate jet, traveling to Ukraine and Mexico, to advance Hunter Biden's business interests. Evidence from today's documents show right around the time of international trips like those to Ukraine, Joe Biden was emailing his son and his son's business partner from private email accounts using aliases while Vice President,” said Smith.
“Among the pages of new evidence, provided to the Committee and released by a vote of the Committee during today's markup, was a document with data on 327 emails showing Joe Biden's correspondence – via email aliases – with a key Hunter Biden business associate,” the Committee reports.
“54 of the emails were exclusively between Joe Biden and one of Hunter Biden's business partners, Eric Schwerin, who was in charge of structuring the family's various shell companies that launder money around the world,” while “38 were emails from the White House to a Joe Biden alias with a copy to Hunter Biden,” the Committee noted.
Smith also detailed how Joe Biden communicated with Hunter's business partners on emails pertaining to official government business with Ukraine, at a time when Hunter was negotiating a massive influence-peddling contract with a Ukrainian company.
“The newly released information shows that direct emails between Schwerin, the architect of the Biden family's shell companies, and then-Vice President Biden increased dramatically during times when Vice President Biden traveled to Ukraine. This is relevant because at the same time, Hunter Biden was appointed to the board of a Ukrainian company, Burisma, which previously released evidence has confirmed was an appointment entirely meant to throw the ‘political weight; of the Biden family brand behind the company's interests,” the Committee reports.”
“Prior to Vice President Biden's June 2014 trip to Ukraine, he and Schwerin exchanged five emails. After that trip and before the Vice President's November trip back to Ukraine, he and Schwerin emailed 27 times,” the Committee notes, adding, “Vice President Biden subsequently threatened to withhold $1 billion in foreign aid for Ukraine if the prosecutor looking into corruption at Hunter Biden's company was not fired. The prosecutor was fired.”
