Emails: VP Joe Biden ‘Signed Off’ on Statement to Press About Hunter’s Burisma Position Despite Claims of No Involvement

Then-Vice President Joe Biden approved an official statement in December 2015 about Hunter Biden’s position on a Ukrainian energy company’s board despite claims he was not involved with the family’s business, emails obtained from the National Archives show. Since assuming office, at least seven times Joe Biden or his communications team have outright denied, and deflected questions about, involvement in the Biden family enterprise.

Biden “acted at all times in a manner consistent with well-established executive branch ethics standards,” Andrew Bates, a spokesman for the president’s campaign, said in 2019. “He carried out the Obama-Biden administration’s policies without regard to any interests other than the public’s and neither discussed this with his son nor was involved in any way with his son’s private business pursuits.”

But those denials have been proven false again by a new trove of emails uncovered from the National Archives by America First Legal. The new trove of emails unearthed by a lawsuit against the Archives shows Biden and Hunter coordinated through their respective associates in response to questions from reporters about if Hunter’s position on Burisma’s board undermined then-Vice President Biden’s credibility in pushing anti-corruption measures.

In April 2014, Hunter joined the board of Burisma, just two years before Joe Biden stated he forced the firing of Ukraine prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma. Despite Hunter’s lack of experience in Ukraine or the energy sector, he was paid $83,000 per month by the energy company, or $1 million per year — just weeks after his father was announced “point person” on U.S. foreign policy toward Ukraine.

Emails previously released from the Archives show Hunter advised the Office of Vice President Biden in 2014 on how to handle media inquiries regarding his position on the board of Burisma...

And just six weeks after the US-sponsored Maidan Coup.

Filthy.

Without an honest prosecutorial authority, this is merely a fleeting criticism for political purposes, which will change the minds of no one. Supporters of Biden won’t care, and opponents of Biden will still oppose - to no effect.

Now, if there was accurate voting, he would have been out of office anyway. We should work on that.

Tater Head Joe is on track to go down in history as the most corrupt politician in the nation’s history.

They are so slow... for the sake of the nation... get that family out of Washington!!! when did we last have a decent President who was not tarnished and corrupt!!!

It's really not surprising coming from the guy who had to previously cancel his attempt at the Presidency because he was caught lying and plagiarizing. The scumbag is a political thermometer that's been reading illness for 40 years. Allowing people like Biden to remain in office after showing who they really are is like drawing a reference map for our enemies to easily identify the corruptable.

Spot on. And yet the people of Delunaware can’t see it. Or they like liars and grifters.

I had two distinct conversations with a couple of Democrat voters just prior to the 2020 election. In both conversations I said that Biden was compromised and if he were to become President, he would be dangerous because his prior acts would be hanging over his head like the sword of Damocles. In both of those conversations they thought that was impossible because our 3 letter agencies would never allow someone who is compromised become President. I kid you not.

That is why I won’t even talk to a leftist. My cousin and his wife are about the only ones I have any contact with and that’s infrequent. Thankfully they rarely bring up politics and when they do I respond as if they had not spoken a word.
