The spotlight is back on Hunter Biden as new revelations surface regarding his connections to Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company, while Joe Biden was Vice President.
The New York Times reports that Hunter wrote to the U.S. Ambassador in Italy in 2016 seeking assistance for Burisma, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest.
Despite Hunter's involvement with Burisma, Joe Biden has repeatedly claimed he knew nothing about his son’s overseas business dealings.
Hunter's lawyer refutes claims of any meetings or requests for U.S. assistance, asserting no interaction of consequence took place.
Critics highlight that the letter Hunter wrote to the ambassador was initially redacted and withheld by the Biden administration, only released after a FOIA request.
The timing of the document's release, coinciding with Joe Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race, raises suspicions.
The State Department maintains that the release timing is coincidental, but skepticism remains regarding their transparency.
Conversations linger about the appropriateness of Biden’s involvement with Burisma given his political position and the role of Obama’s administration.
Comparisons are drawn between Hunter Biden's dealings and the Trump children’s business ventures, focusing on perceived favoritism granted by their fathers’ political status.
