Hunter Biden's business partner used the federal position he was handed during the Obama administration to court an Eastern European company whose board Hunter was eager to join, according to a batch of emails obtained by The Daily Wire through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Schwerin attempted to get a Latvian bank acknowledged on a plaque on a Commission project, during the same month that Hunter was seeking a board seat on the company.
The "Relationship" with Norvik Bank, it turned out, was that Hunter's fraudster business partner, Devon Archer, was a shareholder of Norvik, and Hunter wanted to be extended a lucrative board seat for himself, according to emails on Hunter's laptop.
The next day, on June 1, Schwerin, Hunter, and Hunter's lawyer George Mesires strategized about how to get Hunter a spot on Norvik's board - without contradicting what they had told the Department of Justice, which was that Hunter was not part of the business run by Devon Archer, who was under investigation for and later convicted of fraud.
Schwerin kept Hunter updated throughout the trip, telling Hunter that he looked "Kind of bad ass" standing alongside the Latvian president, and "Maybe a little JRB like with the Ray Bans," an apparent reference to Joe Robinette Biden.
Norvik never put Hunter on its board, though his favors for the Latvian bank continued - emails show that in 2017, Hunter signed papers to establish a Norvik account for Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company that paid him handsomely to serve on its board.
Hunter sought to be appointed to another bank board by Latvian oligarch Valeri Belokon, which he and Schwerin decided to pursue even after noting that Belokon was "Accused by the authorities in the central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan of helping facilitate the theft of millions of pounds' worth of state assets."
