Drugs: A revised draft plea agreement between Hunter Biden and the Justice Department notes that the president’s son took in a total of $4.3 million in 2017 and 2018 from the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma and the Chinese military intelligence linked CEFC China Energy. Those were the two years that Biden is being charged for not paying his taxes.
His initial plea agreement fell apart due to Federal District Judge Maryellen Noreika’s objection to a Diversion Agreement that combined the unrelated felony gun charge due to Biden’s false claim that he had not used illegal drugs prior to buying the weapon.
Biden stands accused of having failed to pay taxes on the income earned in those years. Biden’s 2021 memoir “Beautiful Things” and documentation taken from his abandoned laptop also show he lived a drug- and prostitute-filled life in those years.
Business Partners: Biden Paid For Access to Joe Biden
His former business partner Devon Archer testified to Congress on Monday that access to his father, Joe Biden, was the primary good he sold.
“The value was — the value that Hunter Biden brought to it was having — you know, there was — the theoretical was corporate governance, but obviously, given the brand, that was a large part of the value. I don’t think it was the sole value, but I do think that was a key component of the value,” Archer said of the Biden family brand.
That also has been corroborated by Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski who called Joe Biden “the chairman” of Biden Inc.
Biden Makes Money With Chinese Intel-Linked Figures
Hunter Biden noted in his recent hearing that entered into a major venture with Ye Jianming, the former deputy secretary general of the China Association for International Friendly Contact (CAIFC), in 2017 that paid him $1 million in 2017 according to the plea deal.
CAIFC “performs dual roles of intelligence collection and conducting propaganda and perception management campaigns” and it is “a platform for deploying undercover intelligence gatherers,” The U.S.-China Economic Security and Review Commission said in a 2018 report.
Court records show Biden made $666,666 through his Rosemont Seneca, LLC. Firm. He earned $664,000 from CEFC China Energy of which Ye served as chairman.
An email from Hunter Biden’s business partner and attested to by Bobulinski noted that Joe Biden would receive 10% from the proceeds of a CEFC venture in Louisiana in 2017.
Burisma paid Biden $500,000 in director’s fees in 2017.
In 2018, Biden received $1 million in legal fees from Ye’s associate Patrick Ho, who he referred to as the “spy chief of China” in audio found on his laptop. Ho was subject to a FISA investigation into the threat he posed to U.S. national security.
He received $2.6 million in 2018 from Ye and from Burisma. The plea agreement also notes that Biden spent wildly on things such as a Porsche, payments to his family, credit-card balances, and cash withdrawals.
“In October 2021, the court filing notes that Biden’s tax liabilities for 2017 and 2018, which were $955,800 and $956,632 respectively, were paid for by an unidentified third party. That individual also paid $45,661 and $197,372 to resolve outstanding tax issues from 2016 and 2019, according to the filing,” Bloomberg columnist Greg Farrell notes.
Biden’s friend and lawyer Kevin Morris paid more than $2 million to help him with his tax liabilities in 2022.
