Former President Barack Obama’s administration helped Hunter Biden promote his notoriously corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings in Italy, a new report has revealed.
Hunter Biden lobbied the Obama administration for help with his infamous Burisma deal, according to a bombshell letter.
Biden’s letter to the Italian embassy was exposed by the New York Times.
The letter is tangible evidence of how the son of former Vice President Joe Biden – who pardoned Hunter late last year – leveraged his political influence to promote his and his partners’ business interests.
Hunter Biden infamously received an $80,000 per month salary for dubious “work” on the board of Burisma.
He was a member of Burisma’s board during his father’s vice presidency, despite having no experience in the energy sector or even being able to speak Ukrainian.
In his 2016 letter, addressed to the U.S. ambassador to Italy John Phillips, Hunter Biden asked for a meeting with a regional honcho in Tuscany.
He sought the meeting to smooth out regulatory hurdles for a Burisma subsidiary.
In the letter, Hunter Biden added: “It was great seeing you in Rome recently.”
Hunter received a warm response from Phillips, who promised to assist and “see where our interests may overlap.”
“Dear Hunter, It seems like yesterday that you were in Rome,” the ambassador wrote in a response published by the New York Times.
“I hope this finds you well.
“Thank you for your letter.
“I know Enrico Rossi well and have a good working relationship with him.”
Joe Biden stayed at the ambassador’s residence in Rome for three days in 2015, Phillips told the Times.
Hunter accompanied his father on the trip.
Of course, the Times has faced criticism over its belated interest in covering the Biden family’s business dealings.
To many, it appears the curiosity of the liberal media has been awakened only because Joe Biden is no longer in power.
For years, any intimation of wrongdoing by Hunter or his father was dismissed by the media as a Republican smear or so-called “Russian disinformation.”
This continued even as evidence piled up showing that Biden was in contact with his son’s business associates.
Democrats and their corporate media allies dismissed House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into former President Biden.
They pointed to a lack of evidence revealing specific policy favors.
However, that objection appears weaker than ever in light of the Times’ reporting on Hunter’s cozy contacts with the State Department.
The Bidens’ shield of media protection started to unravel last year when Joe Biden showed his own party that he was not up to the task of winning re-election against President Donald Trump.
One of Biden’s last ignominious acts before leaving office was to pardon Hunter for any crimes he may have committed in a 10-year period.
Biden extended the pardon to cover the year Hunter began working at Burisma.
