Hunter Biden laptop reveals dozens of meetings with dad at the White House

Hunter Biden allegedly used the Naval Observatory as his hub to meet foreign political and business leaders while Joe Biden was vice president for eight years

Hunter Biden met with his father at least 30 times at the White House or the vice president’s residence. In many of the instances, the meetings occurred just days after Hunter Biden returned home from overseas business tips.

According to the New York Post those breakfasts, lunches, and other jaunts between 2008 and 2016 raise questions about whether Hunter was communicating messages to his father on behalf of foreign clients and cast new doubt on the president’s repeated denials that he had any role in his son’s ambiguous overseas business affairs.

The meetings were found in a review of the personal calendar on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop. In addition to Hunter allegedly using the Naval Observatory as his hub to meet foreign political and business leaders while Joe Biden was vice president for eight years—Eric Schwerin, the president of Hunter’s investment company Rosemont Seneca Partners, also often visited the Naval Observatory for meetings with then-Vice President Joe Biden.

Eric Schwerin, the president of Hunter Biden’s investment company Rosemont Seneca Partners, is named as a calendar invite recipient on 21 of 30 listed meetings, with a green check frequently indicating his confirmed receipt of the invite for meetings with the vice president. Schwerin was a longtime Hunter Biden business confidante, and had access to the elder Biden’s personal financial information.

The emails and calendar invites are a small fraction of data from the contents of the portable drive originated from Hunter Biden’s MacBook Pro, which Hunter reportedly dropped off at a computer repair shop in Wilmington, Del., in April 2019 and never reclaimed.

According to reports, between Feb. 15-18, 2012, Hunter Biden was wined and dined by billionaire oligarchs in Moscow, including one now wanted for murder. Four days after his return, Hunter met with Vice President Biden, again at the Naval Observatory.

In addition to publishing numerous such meetings from Hunter’s laptop, the NY Post alos notes that on Nov 14. 2015, Hunter met with Romanian ambassador to the United States George Maior, before heading off for meetings in that country. He returned Nov. 17, and had breakfast with his father at the Naval Observatory two days later. Just months after the trip, he teamed up with former FBI Director Louis Freeh to help Romanian businessman Gabriel Popoviciu avoid jail time.

The top Republicans on the House Oversight Committee draws this conclusion, “When you look at the whole Biden business model with respect to Hunter Biden and Jim Biden—it’s always been to pedal influence, to sell the Biden name and to promise potential investors and potential people who would pay for their services access to the government at the highest levels,” Rep. James Comer (R-KY) explains, “Not just in the United States, but in other countries.”

The White House has not commented.

UK, Canada, Australia discuss banning Elon Musk’s X over AI tool Grok’s potential for misuse; regulatory action may follow.


Downing Street has opened talks with Canada and Australia about a possible ban on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X. Concerns are growing over the platform’s AI tool, Grok, which could be misused to generate explicit images.

The scrutiny comes as government officials, including Sir Keir Starmer, voice serious worries about the platform’s impact and the potential for harm. Officials believe coordinated international action could send a clear message to Musk about the urgency of addressing these risks.

Ofcom is expected to release recommendations soon, potentially paving the way for regulatory action. How Musk responds could determine whether X faces restrictions in multiple countries.

The Iranian military has intensified threats against protesters, warning that anyone participating could be deemed “enemies of God”, carrying a potential death sentence. There have been claims of “terrorist agents” linked to the US and Israel stirring unrest.

Protester Responses

International protests have also emerged in solidarity with Iranian demonstrators.

In London, an individual was seen tearing down the Iranian flag from the embassy, drawing attention to the global dissent. Iranian state media has accused “rioters” of violence and targeting military bases, amidst a climate of increased government scrutiny and restrictions.

With the internet down in Iran, accurate assessment of the situation remains challenging. Reports indicate scattered protests continue, but fear of government retaliation complicates participation.

The Iranian government’s response highlights the volatility of the political situation, and the growing international pressure on Tehran.
