Complaint: Hunter Advised Office of VP Biden on Burisma, a Potential FARA Violation
Wendell Husebø 3 Mar 2023
Hunter Biden advised the Office of Vice President Joe Biden in 2014 on how to handle media inquiries regarding his position on the board of Ukrainian Energy company Burisma, a potential violation of federal law by failing to register as a foreign agent.
In April 2014, Hunter joined the board of Burisma, just two years before Joe Biden stated he forced the firing of prosecutor Viktor Shokin investigating Burisma. Despite Hunter’s lack of experience in Ukraine or the energy sector, he was paid $83,000 per month by the energy company or $1 million per year — just weeks after his father was announced “point person” on U.S. foreign policy toward Ukraine.
Hunter’s position on the board made international headlines. On May 13, 2014, Hunter was contacted by Joe Biden’s press secretary Kendra Barkoff, one day after Hunter’s appointment to the board was announced, according to archives accessed via a complaint sent to the Justice Department on Friday by America First Legal Foundation, the New York Post reported.
Emails on the “Laptop from Hell’s” hard drive show Barkoff was in regular communication with Biden family business partners and specifically with Joe Biden’s private email accounts.
“Thanks for talking to me. [L]et me know who I should refer folks to,” she wrote to Hunter. “What exactly are they asking?” Hunter responded. “For the time being I’d just refer them to my office. FYI I joined the board of Burisma Holdings Ltd. (Burisma.com) an independent/private natural gas producer in Ukraine along with the former president of Poland. I think the press release is on their website.”
