Hunter Biden flew overseas with his father on at least eight occasions aboard Air Force Two while his father was vice president, Fox News host Jesse Watters said.
He and his father face increasing scrutiny amid investigations by multiple House committees into their business dealings and the degree to which President Joe Biden was involved in those deals while he was vice president. Hunter Biden’s business partner Devon Archer told the House Oversight and Accountability Committee in sworn testimony that access to Joe Biden was the product being sold.
Archer noted that Joe Biden participated in at least 20 phone calls with clients or potential clients. Joe Biden also participated in two dinners with oligarchs who had documented connections with the Russian and Kazakh oligarchs with ties to organized crime and to Russia’s internal intelligence agency, the Federal Security Bureau (FSB).
The business partner noted that Hunter Biden flew with Joe Biden aboard Air Force Two in December 2013 to Beijing. Joe Biden met with Hunter Biden’s client and business partner Jonathan Li, who heads BHR Partners. The vice president met with Li privately and agreed to write a letter to Georgetown University petitioning it to accept his daughter as a student.
Quibbling Over the Definition of Business Partnership
The White House now contends that Joe Biden never had a business partnership with his son; however, Watters questions the reasoning. Watters noted that Hunter Biden managed to sneak on and off of Air Force Two on several occasions, exiting through the back entrance from which the press gets in and out of the plane.
Video obtained by Fox News shows the then-vice president leaving his plane only to meet up with his son who was already inside his limousine.
“What does it mean to be in business with someone?” Watters asked. “Well, the dictionary says being in business with someone means you are both engaged in the same business activities or people who are in business together have the same goals, operate in conjunction with each other to achieve those goals and share in the revenue.
Watters continued, “People in business together talk to the same clients, sometimes over the phone, sometimes at business dinners. They also communicate with each other about how they are going to engage in the business, and oftentimes they travel together in order to pursue business opportunities. Well, we all know the Bidens shared the same business interests, a fired prosecutor, greased regulatory approvals, and recommendations to Ivy League colleges.”
He went on to discuss how Joe Biden and Hunter Biden shared funds and credit cards. In Watters’s opinion, Joe Biden’s decision to allow Hunter Biden to fly around on Air Force Two meant that the taxpayers ultimately were paying for his family’s grift and enrichment.
“Taxpayers funded Hunter’s business travel so the Biden family could sneak around the world and get rich,” Watters said.
Hunter Biden joined Joe Biden on the flight to the 2013 Munich Security Conference, which included a panel on energy, entitled: THE AMERICAN OIL & GAS BONANZA: THE CHANGING GEOPOLITICS OF ENERGY, among other things.
He joined the board of the Ukrainian gas firm Burisma a year later, earning $83,333 per month for doing next to nothing.
“Now, even with documentary evidence of Joe Biden and Hunter Biden in business together, flying to the same countries, accomplishing the same goals, secretly emailing each other about the same pursuits, sharing bank accounts, even splitting appetizers at business dinners, the left will still tell you, this is a story about a father loving his drug-addicted son. That’s called psychological warfare and you have a choice of whether you want to be the victim,” Watters concluded.
