“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled,” Hunter Biden wrote Zhao, the director of Harvest Fund Management, according to Shapley.
First son Hunter Biden used his father as leverage while negotiating a six-figure business deal with a Chinese associate in 2017.Hunter threatened in a text message that his associate would “regret not following my direction” as he was “sitting” in the same room with now-President Biden, according to IRS criminal investigators.An August 2020 search warrant revealed the exchange between Hunter and Zhao, which resulted in $100,000 payment to the 53-year-old’s firm Owasco P.C.
IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley and another whistleblower made the stunning admission as part of transcribed interviews that took place over the past two months before the House Ways and Means Committee.“When multiple people in the room spoke up and objected that we had to ask, she responded, there’s no specific criminality to that line of questioning,” Shapley said in recounting a Dec.
The whistleblowers alleged Justice Department prosecutors denied their requests to look further into Hunter’s texts or obtain their location data.A May 2017 email about the deal showed the partnership would include a percentage stake of “10 held by H for the big guy,” who has separately been identified as Joe Biden by ex-Hunter associates Tony Bobulinski and James Gilliar.
In Shapley’s retelling, an FBI agent quizzing Walker asked: “”So you definitely got the feeling that that was orchestrated by Hunter Biden to have like an appearance by his dad at that meeting just to kind of bolster your chances at making a deal work out?” Shapley singled out Delaware Assistant US Attorney Lesley Wolf as one of the prosecutors who shut down their probe of a multimillion-dollar deal Hunter, first brother James Biden and their associate Rob Walker .During the trip, Biden met the firm’s CEO, Jonathan Li, in China’s capital. The 80-year-old president has since writtenHunter Biden as recently as 2021 held a 10% stake in BHR Partners, which holds nearly $2.
