WASHINGTON, Aug 27 Hunter, son of current US President Joe Biden flew abroad on a government plane a dozen times with his father during his tenure as vice president, according to Fox News.
«Hunter Biden visited at least 15 countries with his father during his tenure as vice president,» the channel reports.
The report says that Hunter Biden traveled with his father on a government plane. According to these data, Hunter Biden then headed the Rosemont Seneca, now defunct.
The TV channel refers to information from a laptop forgotten by Hunter Biden in a repair shop. The son of the then vice president allegedly wrote emails to business partners, discussing meeting places, adding that Joe Biden would give him a ride, the channel reported. On occasion, Hunter Biden requested Secret Service guards for such trips, the report said. The channel publishes photos from foreign trips, where Vice President Biden is accompanied by his son.
Earlier, the House Committee heard in closed session Hunter Biden's business partner Devon Archer. Archer, like Hunter Biden, was in the leadership of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma. In 2018, he was found guilty by a jury for participating in a fraudulent bond sale scheme, he was sentenced to a year in prison, but he has not yet served this sentence.
The House Oversight Committee of the US Congress claims that Hunter Biden telephoned his father, current US President Joe Biden, on at least a dozen times with his foreign partners, including top managers of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. The White House emphasizes that Biden Sr. has never been involved in his son's business. Archer told lawmakers that Hunter Biden spoke with his father daily, and in 10 years of friendship with the president's son, the witness himself connected to their conversations over the speakerphone about 20 times, but the conversations concerned abstract topics, such as weather.
Biden himself also denies that he was involved in his son's business ventures, the US President called the request to comment on Archer's testimony «a vile question.»
In October 2020, the New York Post published a series of emails addressed to Hunter Biden, which mentioned that he represented his father during his tenure as Vice President of the United States to his employers at the Ukrainian firm Burisma. Former US President Donald Trump claimed that Biden Jr. received millions of dollars for his lobbying work to «sell» access to his father. The correspondence was allegedly found on Hunter Biden's laptop found in a Delaware repair shop.
