WASHINGTON – A Hunter Biden email sent to an American aluminum company and promising information on Russian oligarchs is raising fresh concerns about the first son’s access to classified documents recently discovered in his father’s Wilmington, Del., home as lawmakers prepare to investigate allegations of influence peddling.
Documents dating back to 2011 on his notorious “laptop from hell” showed Hunter offered to sell intelligence on Russian oligarchs to the US aluminum firm Alcoa Inc. for $55,000, according to The Post’s exclusive October 2021 report.
As his father served as former President Barack Obama’s second-in-command, Hunter Biden offered to provide a “statistical analysis of political and corporate risks, elite networks associated with Oleg Deripaska, the Russian CEO of Basic Element company and United company RUSAL,” which had just signed a metal supply agreement with Alcoa.
Hunter Biden also offered the company a “list of elites of similar rank in Russia, map of [Deripaska’s] networks based on frequency of interaction with selected elites and countries.”
The deeply detailed proposal has come under sharp scrutiny given recent revelations that Hunter Biden had access to the Delaware lake-front home where secret papers from his father’s time as vice president were discovered in a garage, basement and library — combined with Republicans taking control of the House of Representatives.

Same names. Same three letter acroynm. Same Russian.
“In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The obvious question the MEDIA, if it were not linked to said government corruption and paid off, would be how can these individuals be involved in all of these things.
More proof the 17th Amendment needs to be repealed..
If the 17th amendment was not existing people like Joe Biden would be lucky to have a job working at some low level non-skilled, no responsibility position in their life and in no way would have a major impact on the world.
Unfortunately with the 17th amendment in place the power lies with the parties and the money lobbyists and the result is with the help of the media we end up with Joe Biden; his tribe, and people like word Salad Harris
Amazing that our national intelligence, DOJ, FBI and CIA all have ZERO interest in this and THIS should be a top priority.
This is why Americans do not trust their government.
He needed to make his rent payment in Delaware that month, plus another 5 grand for a high priced hooker.
This guy again?
You presume are senators are some how not corrupt
Obviously, Hunter needs to be the main focus.
But perhaps auditing the books at Alcoa would be worthwhile. How often do those guys slip $50K to random guys with inside political information? That seems a big dodgy, bordering on either bribery or industrial espionage, or something.
When Federal law enforcement are manufacturing crimes against the innocent and ignoring the crimes of the guilty, a reevaluation of their usefulness is in order.
Why is GOD’s name isn’t thise being called for what it is???!!!
Its not influence peddling. Its not quid-pro-quo.....
ITS SPYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the least it’s unauthorized access...
The “classified” information supposedly reported found on Hunter’s laptop so far - it just sounds like the cool stuff Matt Bracken and Poso, for example, discuss during their appearances. I don’t get it. Just how much material does FedGov routinely mark “classified” on a daily basis, anyway??
Some pundits, even Tucker Carlson, are suggesting we probably have an ‘over-classification’ problem.
<>You presume are senators are some how not corrupt<>
What matters is for whom senators work.
State legislators kept a better watchful eye on the votes of their senators.
Our Framers got it right. Three term representatives, aka “senators” have been a disaster.
Yeah, the 17th Amendment pulled the keystone from our Constitution. It must go.
Yes, it certainly did.. moved this country from a Republic to a democracy.
State legislators are part of the party swamp. They only keep an eye on their bank account
Thank you for sharing your feelings.
