According to emails, Joe Biden agreed to cover his son Hunter's legal bills in exchange for his contract with a Chinese government-controlled corporation.
The news brings the president further closer to Hunter Biden's international business operations and casts doubt on his prior assertions that he never addressed them with his son.
Joe Biden Could Have 10% Share in Son's Chinese Business
Joe Biden was able to pay his expenses after leaving government as vice president and has made millions of dollars via his and his wife's businesses. Their book sales and speaking engagements contributed to the influx of wealth. However, according to a review of the president's financial records by DailyMail.com, he disclosed over $7 million more income on his tax returns than he did on his government transparency reports.
Some of the gaps can be explained by First Lady Jill Biden's pay and other sums not needed to be shown on his reports, but there is still $5.2 million made by Joe's firm that is not included on his transparency reports.
The president's son is being investigated by the FBI for tax evasion, money laundering, and unlawful lobbying on behalf of foreign clients. Joe's financial reports reveal that he had more than enough money to cover Hunter's mounting expenses.
While in office, Joe Biden had a relatively modest income; but he enjoyed a flood of millions of dollars soon after he left office, much of which came from his memoir book deal and speaking engagement fees.
The Biden campaign published his federal tax filings, which showed he and First Lady Jill Biden earned $16.5 million in gross income between 2017 and 2019. The majority of the money came from their two businesses, CelticCapri Corp and Giacoppa Corp, which they utilize for speaking and writing engagements, Daily Mail reported.
White House Denies Joe Biden's Ties With Hunter's Foreign Dealings
Jen Psaki, the White Mansion press secretary, avoided the subject when questioned about Hunter Biden's business associate Eric Schwerin's 19 visits to the White House complex and vice president's house while Joe Biden was vice president. These excursions during Obama's administration cast doubt on Biden's claim that he was uninvolved with his son's business operations, which are currently being probed by the US attorney's office in Delaware.
Joe Biden continued strolling on the White House grounds, dismissing a reporter from The Washington Post who enquired about his son's business associates.
A visitor to the White House complex is frequently recorded as seeing a certain individual although they may chat with several people throughout their visit, implying that Joe Biden may have spoken with Schwerin on many occasions, New York Post reported.
Psaki's latest brush-off of questions concerning the first son's business connections was the response. Such inquiries have become in frequency after the Washington Post and the New York Times last month confirmed papers from a former Hunter Biden laptop that were originally published by The Post in October 2020.
Garland Refuses To Update About Hunter Biden Probe
Meanwhile, Attorney General Merrick Garland declined to give an update on the federal tax and financial investigation into Hunter Biden on Tuesday, defending the inquiry and dismissing the necessity for a special counsel.
Garland assured lawmakers during a hearing before the Senate Appropriations Committee that the Hunter Biden inquiry will be free of political or unlawful involvement.
Garland refused to say whether he had been briefed on the Hunter Biden investigation, which is being overseen by David Weiss, the US attorney for the District of Delaware, during questioning by Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., who expressed concern about the fairness of the investigation, which has caused Americans to question their "confidence" in the Justice Department.
Hagerty pressed Garland on how Americans might have faith in the department's "serious inquiry," citing public remarks made in support of the Biden family by high administration officials, as per Fox News.
