Records newly released by the National Archives show efforts to suppress negative stories about the Biden family's business deals long predate the Hunter Biden laptop controversy, dating back to 2015 when an aide to then-Vice President Joe Biden boasted she got a reporter to "Only use" negative information "If her editors hold a gun to her head.".
"Joe Biden and the Biden vice presidency were intimately involved in the Hunter Biden Burisma affair," Miller said on the Thursday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show.
The emails cover a frantic month in December 2015 as reporters began asking questions about Hunter Biden's business relationship with Burisma just as Joe Biden was heading to Ukraine for a key U.S. policy meeting.
The reporter asked if Hunter Biden holding this position was contradictory to Joe Biden's anti-corruption messaging.
This resulted in Hunter Biden's business partner Eric Schwerin giving the White House quotes from both Hunter Biden and former Polish President Mykola Zlochevsky, who was on Burisma's board with him.
"Hunter Biden joined the Board to strengthen corporate governance and transparency at a company working to advance energy security for Ukraine," a spokesperson for Hunter said in a quote.
In another exchange, Schwerin asked Bedingfield to urge Bloomberg reporter Margaret Talev not to run a negative story on Hunter Biden with details that included his dismissal from the Navy for cocaine use.
