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.”

AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.
The artificial intelligence sector continues to be a major driver of growth for both the U.S. and global economies. Companies at the forefront of AI innovation are influencing market trends and reshaping industries worldwide.
Meta’s stock has rebounded slightly following reports of potential cost-cutting measures and job reductions in its Reality Labs division. Investors are watching closely as the company adjusts its strategy to manage rising expenses and optimize innovation.
Palantir is trading at over 120 times forward sales and 180 times forward earnings, signaling investor confidence but also raising questions about valuation risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia maintains a market cap of $4.2 trillion as a leading AI chip supplier, yet competition is ramping up.
These moves highlight the growing tension between tech giants’ AI ambitions and the practical need to balance profits with heavy R&D spending.
Some analysts, however, warn that rapid growth may not be sustainable, with current levels of AI-related spending potentially overshooting realistic returns.

Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.
Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.
AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
