President Joe Biden agreed to cover more than $800,000 in bills racked up by his son - including legal fees tied to the winding down of his controversial overseas business dealings - ahead of the 2020 election, according to an email that surfaced Tuesday.
The Jan. 17, 2019, message was written by Hunter Biden's then-personal assistant, Katie Dodge, and sent to accountant Linda Shapero, founder of the Global DEEZ firm in Leesburg, Va. "I spoke with Hunter today regarding his bills," Dodge wrote.
Dodge's email - which included the greeting, "Hello VP team" - was cc'd to Hunter Biden and Richard Ruffner, who was a personal aide to Joe Biden while he was vice president, after he left office and during his winning White House bid.
Hunter Biden owed Faegre Baker another $20,909 for "Burnham Restructu," which appears to refer to the Burnham Financial Group, which former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer and others invested in as part of a plan to create their own financial services conglomerate.
Hunter had an office at the New York headquarters of an asset-management firm that was intended to be merged into Burnham as a part of a deal called a "Roll-up," the Wall Street Journal reported in 2019.
In December 2019, Faegre Baker merged with another firm to form Faegrea Drinker Biddle & Reath, where partner George Mesires represented Hunter Biden as recently as October 2020.
Chinese records show Hunter Biden was no longer on BHR's board of directors as of April 2020, according to the Times.
