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

Published

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.

What Australia can learn from NZ’s supermarket inquiry

Published

on

Coles and Woolworths, two of Australia’s largest supermarket chains, are about to face a Senate inquiry that aims to scrutinise their market dominance and business practices.

The inquiry’s parallels with a past New Zealand investigation highlight the growing concern over the duopoly’s impact on consumers and smaller businesses.

The Senate inquiry, set to begin next month, comes as a response to mounting public pressure and allegations of anti-competitive behavior in the grocery sector.

New Zealand example

Similar concerns led New Zealand to conduct its own inquiry into the supermarket industry back in 2019, resulting in recommendations for increased regulation and transparency.

The central question here is whether Coles and Woolworths wield too much power in the Australian market, potentially stifling competition and limiting choices for consumers.

With the New Zealand example as a cautionary tale, many are wondering if this inquiry will result in meaningful changes to the Australian grocery landscape.

Elon Musk has thrown a verbal jab at former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, declaring her political campaign as “dead” on X.

The unexpected comment from the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has ignited a new wave of discussion within the political sphere, leaving many wondering about the implications for Haley’s political future.

In a tweet that garnered significant attention, Musk criticized Haley’s recent policy stance, writing, “Nikki Haley’s campaign is dead on arrival if she continues to ignore the urgency of climate change.

We need leaders who prioritize the planet’s future.” The tech mogul’s remarks come as Haley, a prominent Republican figure, has been exploring the possibility of running for president in the upcoming election cycle.

Musk’s statement has reignited the debate over climate change within the Republican Party, with many conservatives emphasizing economic interests over environmental concerns.

This raises questions about whether Musk’s endorsement or critique could influence the GOP’s stance on climate issues and potentially impact the 2024 presidential race.
