WASHINGTON — Former first son Hunter Biden got help from the Obama administration — which his father, Joe, served as vice president — while repping Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, which paid the younger Biden a million-dollar salary based on his political connections, bombshell federal files published Friday show.
The documents — which emerged 73 days after Joe Biden’s presidency ended — show Hunter, now 55, solicited and received commitments of State Department assistance for a Burisma geothermal subsidiary’s work in Italy.
Then-US Ambassador to Rome John Phillips, who had received a letter from Hunter asking for help, wrote to the then-second son in July 2016 that he was designating a subordinate to help grease the wheels for Burisma, which was seeking to firm up relations with then-Tuscany regional president Enrico Rossi.
“Dear Hunter, It seems like yesterday that you were in Rome. I hope this finds you well. Thank you for your letter. I know Enrico Rossi well and have a good working relationship with him,” the ambassador wrote in a response printed by the New York Times.
