Hunter Biden, the troubled first son, allegedly met with a Putin ally and Russian oligarch who is currently wanted for murder.
According to the New York Post, Biden, 52, and Telman Ismailov, 65, are thought to have met on February 17, 2012, at the holding company’s Moscow offices.
Ismailov previously owned and ran a publisher, along with businesses that offered tours and telecom services.
According to reports, Biden met with Ismailov and other affluent Russian nobility for two days to discuss matters pertaining to Biden’s Rosemont Realty investment firm.
On February 22, 2012, less than a week after seeing Ismailov and at least three other oligarchs with ties to Putin, Hunter had a meeting with his father, Joe Biden, who was the vice president at the time.
According to experts, people like Ismailov wanted Hunter Biden to buy influence for them from his influential father in exchange for the money they needed.
According to Jim Hanson, president of the Security Studies Group, “the only reason someone would want to meet Hunter Biden, other than a crack dealer or a hooker, is to get to his dad.”
Access was for sale; that was their business strategy. The Biden family participated in Joe’s political career’s financial gain.
The billionaire from Baku is suspected of spending $2 million in 2017 to have car scion Yury Briley and shopping complex owner Vladimir Savkin killed on Moscow’s Novorizhskoye highway.
According to Russia’s investigation committee, the guys were thought to be engaged in a commercial dispute with Ismailov.
The charges against Ismailov, who has been given asylum in Montenegro since February, were “a result of political and economic persecution by the Russian Federation,” he told Radio Free Europe.
The accusation of wrongdoing against Biden’s son is hardly new.
As a result of Hunter’s employment as an attorney, a board member of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, and his association with a Chinese businessman who is currently under investigation for fraud, his firm earned $11 million over the course of five years.
The revelations raise concerns about national security, corruption, and potential legal issues, as some wonder why the president’s son accepted employment with energy companies while having no prior expertise in the industry.
According to documents, Biden spent the money even more quickly than it was coming in. An analysis of Hunter Biden’s abandoned hard drive by NBC News reveals that from February 2017 to October 2018, the president’s son spent an astounding $200,000 per month on things like opulent hotels, Porsche payments, dental work, and cash withdrawals.
The couple’s unpaid obligations were described as “shocking and overwhelming” in a divorce petition filed in February 2017 by Biden’s ex-wife Kathleen Buhle, who also revealed that they owed $313,000 in back taxes.
The complaint claims that the couple owes money to doctors and therapists as well as bounced checks to their housekeeping.
Hunter acknowledges in his autobiography Beautiful Things that the Burisma funds supported his vices. During my deepest slide into addiction, the extra money, he writes, “turned into a big enabler” and “hounded me to spend wildly, dangerously, destructively.” Humiliatingly. Thus, I did.
Hunter Biden, who is under investigation by a Delaware grand jury for tax fraud, reportedly recruited Hollywood attorney Kevin Morris to assist him in paying off a $2 million tax obligation, which is more than double the amount that had previously been disclosed.
When Hunter Biden’s father was still the Vice President during the Obama administration, the tax probe got rolling.
But in 2018, after it emerged that the 52-year-old may have used political influence to influence commercial agreements, the investigation was expanded to look into possible tax evasion, money laundering, and lobbying law crimes.
The President’s son had taken a broken MacBook Pro to a shop in Wilmington, Delaware, but never picked it up. Then, in October 2020, the New York Post made public the existence of the now-famous Hunter Biden laptop.
Since then, more than 20,000 emails that are believed to contain substantial proof of Hunter Biden’s illicit business transactions have been retrieved from the laptop’s hard drive and obtained by DailyMail.com.
According to Chuck Rosenberg, a former Justice Department employee, Biden’s payment of his debts could be interpreted as an admission of guilt. According to Rosenberg, a long period of time—rather than just one or two—helps prove intentionality.
Biden told CBS News that he is “cooperating entirely” with the Delaware probe but has denied any criminal activity.
And I’m completely positive, 100 percent certain,’ he added, “that I will be exonerated of any wrongdoing at the conclusion of the investigation.”
Hunter Biden received $6 million over a nine-month period, according to a Senate report from September 2020. This sum included a $5 million payment from a Chinese energy company with connections to the Communist party and a $1 million payment for work with a friend who was later imprisoned for bribery.
