The son of the vice president went on 29 international trips with Secret Service in tow, according to records released under FOIA to Judicial Watch.
Hunter Biden has already made headlines with his pursuit of global business, raising questions about conflicts of interests by landing lucrative deals in Ukraine and China while his father Joe was vice president.
And now its his proclivity for globetrotting travel that is garnering attention.
The son of the former vice president and 2020 Democratic presidential nominee in waiting used Secret Service protection on at least 411 international and domestic trips during the Obama years, according to records released this month under the Freedom of Information Act to the conservative watchdog Judicial Watch.
The records show Hunter Biden made at least 29 international trips between January 2009 and July 2014 and hundreds more criss-crossing the United States.
Five of the trips were to China, where the Bidens raised eyebrows in December 2013 as Hunter joined his father on an official government trip and pursued an investment opportunity in the shadows of his fathers work.
Six months later, Hunter Biden landed on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings at a time when his father oversaw U.S.-Ukraine policy and the company was under investigation.
State Department officials testified at last falls impeachment proceedings that the Ukraine arrangement created the appearance of a conflict of interest.
While it is normal for the Secret Service to provide family members of a president and vice president with security details, Hunter Bidens security logs stand out for the sheer volume of travel.
The FOIA covered 1,987 days of the Obama presidency (July 1, 2014 thru Jan. 19, 2017 have not yet been produced), meaning Hunter Biden averaged a trip once every five days or so during the covered

Bag man.
I wonder how many children Hunter really has.
Well, yeah. He was part of the administration. Influence peddler. They had to make it a secret post because he was working with enemies of the state - a position unauthorized by the electorate - criminal, actually. But he was part of the administration.
Yeah. In other words, bag man.
Shouldn’t Hunter be paying back the 1.5 Billion to China?
Wonder how he’s preparing to answer this in the debates when it comes up.
About a flight every week for 8 yrs. Who got all the frequent flyer miles??
Where was the congressional oversight?
so does he...final count not known until after father’s day.
What was Obama’s Cut ?
Children of the President and VP get SS protection. This is nothing new.
While Hunter is a dirt bag, he is still in one of those categories. Are we supposed to “judge” which children are to get protection? And who makes that judgement?
This is not something to be “outraged” about. It is neither a “bombshell” nor a “surprise.”
Ping!
VP Biden, his son Hunter, and Hunter's daughter Finnegan, arrive in Beijing..........on an official US visit.
Throughout the week-long trip, Hunter Biden seemed to duck in and out, sometimes joining his father at events and red-carpet arrival ceremonies, and at other times following his own itinerary, presumably with his daughter Finnegan. As is customary, the White House did not provide details about what the vice presidents relatives were doing when they were not part of his public events.
What else Hunter Biden may have done during the two-day stop in China is unclear. There are no indications he met with Chinese government officials. Mesires, the spokesman, said that he did not conduct any business during the trip including when he met with Li, the Chinese banker and his nascent business partner.
Several former White House officials who traveled with Biden on the trip told NBC News that they didnt know at the time that Hunter Biden had any business interests in China and were unaware of his private schedule while in Beijing.
Reporters along for the trip also indicated no one was aware of Hunter's mega business deal in China.
=================================================

Just twelve days after Hunter stepped off Air Force Two in Beijing with his VP dad and daughter, Hunter's nascent company signed a historic deal with the Bank of China, the state-owned financial behemoth often used as a tool of the Chinese government.
The Bank of China had created a first-of-its-kind investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST (BHR). According to BHR, one of its founding partners was none other than Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC.
It was an unprecedented arrangement: (A) the government of one of Americas fiercest competitors, the Chinese Communist government. going into business with the son of one of Americas most powerful decision-makers, then VP-Biden....Pres Obama's point man in China.
Joe Biden later bragged that he did not discuss Hunter's business interests on the 20-hour flight to China.Nor would he. The details of a mega-deal...... with larger importance to the Biden family fortunes....... were certainly worked out weeks ahead in VP Biden's tax-paid office utilizing Biden's tax-paid staff.
The alacrity with which Hunter seemingly sewed up the billion dollar deal shorty after arriving is significant. Because the details were already hashed out when he boarded Air Force Two. Joe and Hunter surely allowed themselves a high five. No need to discuss the deal on the trip over.....it was fait accompli....thanks to the VP's help.
Everybody knows you launder the bribes through the family. Just ask Pelosi or Boxer.
Since Eric's running the Trump Organization it's probably a lot.
Only for 6 months after the VP leaves office.
I would bet good money that they recorded everything Hunter said at any meetings, and are now using it to their advantage.
