Hunter Biden demanded $10 million from a Chinese business associate to "further the interest" of his joint-venture with a Chinese energy, saying that the "Bidens are the best I know at doing exactly" what the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party-linked firm wanted, according to a newly-released WhatsApp message.
The House Oversight Committee released the message, dated Aug. 3, 2017. The exchange is between Hunter Biden and CEFC associate Gongwen Dong.
"Very simple," Hunter writes. "10 M per annum budget to use to further the interest of the JV. This move to 5M is completely new to me and is not acceptable obviously."
Hunter breaks down how expenditures and expenses will be determined, in consultation with his firms Owasco and Hudson West.
"If the Chairman doesn’t value this relationship is being worth at least 5M, then I’m just baffled," Hunter writes. "I am tired of this…I can make $5M salary at any law firm in America. If you think this is about money, it’s not."
