While The New York Times on August 13 resurrected the issue of the first son’s lobbying activities, there are numerous official documents and emails showing that the Hunter Biden facilitated communication or directly contacted State Department officials to further his interests.
Starting in 2015, Hunter Biden personally met with at least one State Department official and facilitated the company’s relationship with Democrat-connected consulting firm Blue Star Strategies which directly lobbied the State Department.
He currently serves in the Biden State Department as a Special Presidential Coordinator.
The New York Times reported that Hunter Biden contacted the U.S.
The most prominent examples come from his efforts to help the Ukrainian gas company Burisma shut down an investigation by Ukrainian authorities.
In November 2015, as pressure against Burisma was building, Hunter Biden reached out to Amos Hochstein, then-Special Envoy and Coordinator for International Energy Affairs at the State Department, to set up a meeting for coffee on Nov. 4, 2015.
Records released by the State Department show Biden wrote a letter to the ambassador, though the contents are redacted.
