Have we established that Hunter Biden did actually get those 200 million from the wife of a former Moscow mayor?

On-line, people are calling me a liar for repeating that story. 8<(

Anyone online who calls anyone a liar probably works for some corrupt rich Biden or other a-hole.

“During a press conference on Sept. 27, Trump said that Hunter Biden got $3.5 million “from the wife of the mayor of Moscow,” a claim that stemmed from the Senate report. The report said Hunter Biden and his business partner Devon Archer had a financial relationship with Elena Baturina, the widow of a man who had been mayor of Moscow until 2010.

“Feb. 14, 2014, Baturina wired $3.5 million to a Rosemont Seneca Thornton bank account for a ‘Consultancy Agreement,’” the report says. “Rosemont Seneca Thornton is an investment firm co-founded by Hunter Biden.”

The report also said that Rosemont Seneca Thorton served as a pass-through for Baturina’s investments in a Chinese-based tech start-up in Buffalo, N.Y.

The claim relies on undisclosed documents, and the report adds no more details about the significance of any of these transactions, although it notes that Baturina appeared to have benefited from her husband’s allegedly corrupt practices.

Hunter Biden’s lawyer George Mesires said Biden did not get $3.5 million.

“Hunter Biden had no interest in and was not a co-founder of Rosemont Seneca Thornton, so the claim that he was paid $3.5 million is false,” Mesires said in an email. He did not respond to a request for documents showing that Hunter Biden was not a co-founder. Republican Senate staffers similarly did not respond to requests for proof that Biden had a stake in Rosemont Seneca Thornton.”

Rosemont Seneca is a Washington, D.C.-based investment and advisory firm, founded by Devon Archer, Christopher Heinz, and Hunter Biden, who is the son of U.S. President Joe Biden.[3][5] According to The New Yorker, in June 2013, “[Jonathan] Li, Archer, and other business partners signed a memorandum of understanding to create the fund, which they named BHR Partners, and, in November, they signed contracts related to the deal. Hunter became an unpaid member of BHR’s board but did not take an equity stake in BHR Partners until after his father left the White House”.[5]

Hunter Biden announced his intention to resign in October 2019 so as not to complicate the U.S. Presidential aspirations of his father, Joe Biden,[6] but as of Q2 2020 company records still show him employed as a board member.

His defense seems to be the classic who are you going to believe me or your lying eyes. And as usual it works with the press and so many people.
