In 2013, Hunter accompanied then-Vice President Biden on a trip to China.
In Beijing, Mr. Biden and Hunter met with Chinese banker Jonathan Li. A week later, Hunter completed a deal with Mr. Li to create a private equity firm called BHR. Later, the vice president sent a letter to a college endorsing Mr. Li’s son for admission.
The letter was facilitated by Hunter’s business manager, Eric Schwerin. IRS whistleblowers found 327 emails between either the elder Biden, using a pseudonym, and Mr. Schwerin.
As vice president, Mr. Biden engaged in numerous contacts with Devon Archer. Mr. Archer and Hunter partnered on investment LLCs. And they served on the board of the Ukraine conglomerate Burisma; around the same time in 2014, Vice President Biden took on the diplomatic role of White House point man in Kyiv.
Mr. Archer told House investigators that Mr. Biden called in 20 times or more to Hunter and his foreign business associates during dinners and meetings.
Russian millionaire Yelena Baturina met with Mr. Biden at a dinner in Washington. The date came shortly after she wired one of Mr. Hunter’s investment firms, Rosemont Seneca, $3.5 million in 2014.
Also, that year saw the emergence of Kazakh millionaire oligarch Kenes Rakishev. He wired over $142,000 to another Hunter-Archer cash drop, Rosemont Seneca Bohai, for the express purpose of buying Hunter a luxury car.
Mr. Rakishev also dined with Vice President Biden at Georgetown’s Cafe Milano.
The trendy restaurant was the setting in 2015 for another high-powered Hunter-brokered dinner attended by his dad, the vice president.
This dinner also blended the Biden network of donors. From Ukraine was Vadym Pozharsky, the emissary for Burisma’s scandal-prone owner, Mykola Zlochevsky. From Kazakhstan was Karim Massimov, a career government power figure and a crony of Mr. Rakishev with whom Hunter worked on Ukraine-China energy deals.
The cozy setting put Vice President Biden in sustained close contact with Mr. Pozharsky. In emails contained in Hunter’s laptop uncovered by the New York Post, Mr. Pozharsky urged Hunter in 2014 to use his influence to end a state investigation into his boss.
Shortly thereafter in 2015, Joe Biden told Ukraine higher-ups to fire the prosecutor targeting Burisma or lose U.S. money. They fired Viktor Shokin in February 2016.

Taking bribes is in the Constitution and it's considered a form of treason.
