- May 21, 2021, 04:45:02 PMFormer FBI Director Louis Freeh gave $100,000 to a trust for the grandchildren of President Joe Biden, according to newly surfaced emails. The financial contribution to Biden's family allegedly happened in 2016, when Biden was vice president. The ex-FBI director reportedly sent emails to Hunter Biden expressing that Freeh would like to work "with you and dad."
What did the new Hunter Biden emails say?
Freeh said he made a $100,000 donation to a private trust for two of Joe Biden's grandchildren, according to emails leaked from Hunter Biden's laptop that were published by the Daily Mail on Thursday night.
"As you know, our family foundation made a $100K contribution to Hallie's children's trust last year," Freeh allegedly wrote to Hunter on April 24, 2017. "My accountants (PWC) now advise that since the grant did not go to a 501(c) organization [a charity], it was not a proper foundation gift. So we've been in touch with the IRS and PWC and want to correct the situation as follows: I'll make a new $100k gift to Haley's trust, and Hallie's trust will reimburse the foundation by paying it $100k. Sorry for the extra burden. Best regards and warm regards to Hallie, Dad and Mom."
The generous "gift" was sent to the two children of Hallie Biden, the widow of Joe's late son Beau, who later became Hunter's lover.
"Thanks so much and of course no burden at all. Speak to you soon," Hunter Biden responded.
The Daily Mail published several communications between Freeh and Hunter dating back to mid-2016.
On July 8, 2016, Freeh allegedly emailed Hunter Biden in an email marked "confidential and privileged," which said the former FBI director told the then-vice president's son that he "would be delighted to do future work with you."
"I also spoke to Dad a few weeks ago and would like to explore with him some future work options," Freeh reportedly wrote. "I believe that working together on these (and other legal) matters would be of value, fun and rewarding."
"Have a great weekend and our love to Mom and Dad," Freeh allegedly signed off.

- April 22, 2021, 03:43:28 PMThe lobbying firm owned by the brother of a top advisor to President Joe Biden is earning nearly five times as much as it did last year, the Center for Responsive Politics revealed.
White House counselor Steve Ricchetti's brother, Jeff Ricchetti, earned $820,000 in lobbying revenue between January and March, five times what he earned during the same period last year, lobbying filings showed according to the Tuesday report. The last time the firm earned that much in the first quarter was during former President Barack Obama's first term in 2009 when they made $840,000.
Steve Ricchetti played a critical role working on Biden's proposed $2.3 trillion infrastructure package and is one of the president's most prominent advisors. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the large increase in lobbying revenue "indicates that corporate interests believe Ricchetti can help them access the White House."

- December 18, 2020, 06:17:08 PMJoe Biden Defends His Son, Who Is Under Federal Investigation, As 'The Smartest Man I Know'
Biden said that Hunter, who has been involved in a string of high-profile personal and business controversies in recent years, as "the smartest man I know."
Hunter Biden announced last Wednesday that he is under investigation by the U.S. attorney's office in Delaware over his "tax affairs."
A source familiar with the investigation told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the investigation began in 2018, before Joe Biden launched his presidential campaign.
He was kicked out of the Navy in October 2014 for using cocaine, had an affair with his late brother's wife, and was sued for paternity by former stripper Lunden Roberts in 2019. Biden was forced to take a DNA test as part of the lawsuit, which confirmed that he fathered a child with Roberts.

- December 17, 2020, 06:52:17 PMHunter Biden was repeatedly told by his business partner in emails that he was set to receive payments from the Chinese private equity firm BHR Partners starting in 2019 and for years to come.
"BHR is due to have a significant distribution in 2019 because of the CATL exit," Eric Schwerin wrote in a November 2018 email to Hunter Biden.
Schwerin also told Hunter Biden in December 2018 he can expect BHR to generate income for him "over the next couple of years," one email shows.
The revelations conflict with a statement released by Hunter Biden's lawyer in October 2019 which stated he had not received any distributions from BHR.

- December 16, 2020, 05:20:18 PMHunter Biden, President-elect Joe Biden's son, is under federal investigation for his relationship with a prominent Chinese energy firm and has since been subpoenaed for records of his overseas business ventures.
The probe into the foreign dealings follows a Dec. 9 announcement from Hunter Biden in which he announced he is being investigated by Delaware authorities for possible tax crimes.
Hunter Biden received numerous wire transfers from the Chinese firm, called CEFC, which total more than $6 million dollars, and a Senate GOP report alleges that some of the transactions involved criminal activity.
The President-elect's son garnered national attention after his computer hard drive went public and was found to contain numerous emails, text messages and lewd photographs that painted a fuller picture of his dealings with Ukranian energy company Burisma.
