Hunter Biden testified during his Wednesday removal investigation deposition that his father, Joe, was "the big guy" in an email about a business deal with a Chinese state-linked energy firm that made millions for Biden family members and other associates, more than three years after The Post broke the story. He denied that the president was ever penciled in for a 10% stake.
The 54-year-old Hunter is the first to admit that his previous partner in business James Gilliar was referring to Joe Biden when he suggested on May 13, 2017, that the first son keep a ten percent share of the profitable CEFC China Energy joint venture "for the big guy," as per New York Post.
Hunter Biden's Foreign Business Deals
Hunter Biden openly admitted to being under the influence and facing terrible ideas throughout his business career, which he feels has affected his memory of previous happenings. The individual discussed an email exchange regarding a Chinese deal, mentioning "10 held by H for the big guy," and described it as an explanation of proposed cuts from a lucrative deal.
Despite acknowledging putting his father on speakerphone during business lunches with associates, Hunter Biden emphasized there was nothing untoward about it and denied discussing business matters during those calls.
Regarding his infamous laptop, he claimed not to remember leaving it at the repair shop, stating that if he were to drop off a laptop, it would be at the Apple store, not a random repair shop.
Hunter Biden denied allegations of facilitating an introduction between his father and Ye Jianming, the founder of Chinese state-affiliated CEFC, at a meeting at the Four Seasons, stating he did not remember what happened, according to Daily Mail.

Probe Into Biden Business Allegations
The discussion investigated claims regarding Joe Biden's alleged receipt of a 10 percent stake in a business agreement with CEFC, as mentioned in an email from Hunter Biden's former associate James Gilliar. Hunter Biden said he had no idea of this and strongly denied ever calling his father 'the big guy.' He disregarded Gilliar's mention, suggesting it was probably wishful thinking since Joe Biden had not officially taken on the role.
The president's son confirmed the reliability of his business transactions with CEFC, stating they aligned with his area of expertise. He made it clear that none of the funds from the transactions were received by the president, highlighting that the deals took place while his father was not in office.
The interview also touched on a text message where Hunter Biden complained about giving Joe "half" of his salary, explaining it was during a difficult period when he was struggling with suicidal thoughts.
As the investigation progresses, Hunter Biden continues to assert the legality and ethicality of his business dealings, arguing that his father was not involved and did not receive any financial benefit from these businesses. The testimony brings up doubts regarding the truthfulness of the email mentions and the depth of Joe Biden's involvement in Hunter Biden's business dealings, Fox News reported.
