Hunter Biden 'Almost Certainly' Broke FARA Laws: Report

Hunter Biden's failure to register as a foreign agent while conducting business overseas, much like former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, almost certainly violated foreign lobbying laws under the federal Foreign Agents Registration Act.

Last week The Post revealed dozens of sit-downs between Hunter and Joe Biden that were frequently scheduled just days after Hunter visited with foreign officials.

When the Hunter Biden laptop story broke in October 2020, the Bidens allegedly accepted a $5 million interest-free loan from CEFC that enraged their business partner, Tony Bobulinski - who flipped on the Bidens following a Senate report which revealed the $5 million 'loan.

Former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski said in public comments at the time that the Chinese saw Hunter Biden "As a political or influence investment."

While Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid Hunter Biden $83,333 a month to sit on its board, Hunter Biden introduced Vadym Pozharskyi - one of the company's top executives - to his father, emails show.

In Nov. 2015, Hunter met with Crown Prince Alexander Karađorđević of Yugoslavia and his wife, Crown Princess Katherine of Serbia, who told the Post that they asked Hunter to 'put in a word' with his father to help rehab the royal palace in Belgrade.

"If Hunter relayed the request for US government assistance then that would be a FARA registrable event," said FARA expert Craig Engle, who leads the political law practice at Arent Fox Schiff.
