Hunter Biden consulted for a Nigerian-American businessman who tried to buy gold from a wanted Congolese warlord known as “The Terminator,” according to emails from Biden’s abandoned laptop.
Biden arranged introductory meetings in 2011 and 2012 for Kase Lawal, the president of CAMAC International, a Houston-based oil company, and the ambassadors of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, the emails show. Biden partnered with Mike Axelrod, the son of Obama adviser David Axelrod, on the consulting agreement. Lawal was appointed to serve on President Obama’s international trade advisory board in September 2010. Months later, Lawal paid $10 million to purchase gold from Bosco Ntaganda, a Congolese rebel warlord accused by the International Criminal Court of leading an ethnic cleansing campaign.
The consulting deal is another example of Biden securing international business contracts while his father served as vice president. It also highlights Biden’s penchant for working for scandal-plagued clients.
Hunter Biden paid Joe’s AT&T bill and spent thousands on house repairs for him while he was Vice President, new laptop emails claim. 2010 emails between Hunter and his business partner Eric Schwerin detail payments for ‘JRB’ - likely Joseph Robinette Biden. They include:
-$190-a-month on an AT&T bill and payments for house repairs
-Thousands went on new walls, paint and AC fixes at Biden’s Wilmington home at the time, he was earning $230,000-a-year as Vice President.
He has always said there was no conflict of interest between Hunter’s deals and his responsibilities as Vice President. The details of the bills make a tangible link of how he financially benefited from Hunter’s business dealings
