Hunter Biden is facing legal trouble on multiple fronts, but it's been an unorthodox journey to get here. Attorney General Merrick Garland will answer questions this week about the investigation into President Joe Biden's son, where the spotlight will be ultimately on how much Joe knew about his son's business dealings. In this series, Wayward Son, the Washington Examiner will investigate how we got here. Part One examined how Hunter Biden's failure to register as a foreign agent made him vulnerable to further prosecution. Part Two, below, shows how Hunter Biden's foreign affairs extended beyond Ukraine.
While much of the attention surrounding Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings has focused on lucrative relationships in Ukraine and China, the president’s son also earned significant money from a lesser-known contract in Romania.
Hunter Biden’s work for a Romanian real estate mogul facing corruption charges was similar to what he did for the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma. Some of that work appeared to overlap, starting in 2015.
Burisma’s founder was at the time facing a corruption investigation from Ukrainian authorities, and the company enlisted the help of Hunter Biden and his associates in its efforts to free Burisma from legal entanglements.
Then-Vice President Joe Biden was pushing anti-corruption reforms in Romania while his son worked his U.S. government contacts on behalf of his Romanian client, just as he’d pocketed money from his Ukrainian client while his father pushed anti-corruption reforms in Ukraine.
