Hirsh Naftali has contributed $13,000 to President Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign and this year has given $36,500 to the Democratic National Committee. White House visitor logs show that she has been at the executive mansion 13 times in the past 18 months. A Biden administration official said the art purchase was not the reason for Hirsh Naftali’s appointment, and it’s not clear when she bought the artwork or how much she paid for it. What is clear is that Hunter knew.
Hunter also knew that one of the purchasers was entertainment attorney Kevin Morris, whom he met in December 2019 at a fundraiser for his father. The New York Times reported in May 2022 that Morris loaned more than $2 million to the president’s son to help him pay off back taxes in the midst of an IRS criminal investigation. In a courtroom on Wednesday, a negotiated plea agreement with the Department of Justice collapsed when the judge’s questions prodded prosecutors to admit that Hunter Biden could still face charges in connection with large payments he received from foreign entities, possibly violating foreign-lobbying and money-laundering laws.
Congressional investigators have obtained bank records and IRS whistleblower testimony that point to a pattern of large payments to members of the Biden family for nothing of visible value. The House Oversight Committee has been trying to get records of the Biden art sales from the Georges Bergès Gallery, but Bergès has so far refused to cooperate.
In July 2021, just as the Berges Gallery was preparing to market Hunter Biden’s paintings, the gallery received an unusually large “disaster assistance loan” from the Small Business Administration in the amount of $350,000.
This is the very picture of an ethics problem.

I’m telling you, Hunter Biden is running America. Who else would Uncle Joe trust?
Did anyone else see the Chinese woman using her feet to work ol’ Hunter to a froth? He leaned into the camera to light his crack pipe, and it was certainly his face. The Chinese know this.
Tesla is not getting any money from the government or any tax credits for customers to buy an EV from Tesla.
But still nothing prevents the buyer from contacting Biden and mentioning that he had purchased his "art."

In 2021, the White House said a negotiated ethics agreement with the Georges Bergès Gallery would ensure that the buyers’ identities would be secret from the public and the artist, to avoid the appearance of influence-buying.
Ethical problems for sure. And art problems too. Not even slightly good paintings. If I hung them as mine in some expensive art gallery, how many would sell, and for how much?
Biden’s never had any ethics to infested with greed.
