Recently released photographs have revealed a surprising and controversial look into the past, showcasing then-Vice President Joe Biden's encounters with his son Hunter Biden's Chinese business associates during an official visit to China in 2013. These images, which have been kept from the public until now, depict Joe Biden and his son meeting with high-ranking Chinese officials, including Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The photos were released by the National Archives and Records Administration in response to a public records request from a pro-Trump legal group. This group, known for their right-wing beliefs, has been seeking to uncover any potential connections between Joe Biden and his son's business dealings in China. The images, which have only recently been made public, have been known about for several years.
One set of photos shows Hunter Biden and his father meeting with Xi Jinping, while another set captures Joe Biden introducing his son to Li Yuanchao, who was the Chinese vice president at the time. In addition, there are pictures of Hunter Biden introducing his father to his Chinese business partners, who were executives at the private equity firm BHR Partners. After exchanging handshakes and hugs, the Bidens posed for a group picture with the businessmen.
These images are significant because they seem to contradict Joe Biden's previous claims that he had no involvement in his son's business dealings. In fact, an impeachment inquiry by the House Republicans revealed that Joe Biden had at least two dozen interactions with his son's business associates from China and other countries. However, Hunter Biden and others involved have maintained that these interactions were purely social and did not involve any discussions of business matters.
Hunter Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, has dismissed the significance of these photos, stating that they simply confirm Hunter's previous testimony about the events depicted. He also criticized the pro-Trump group for trying to twist the images into something they are not, calling it a tactic to spread misinformation and baseless accusations. The group, America First Legal, filed a records request and later sued the National Archives in order to obtain these images.
The controversy surrounding Hunter Biden's foreign business deals has been a hot topic among Republicans and Department of Justice investigators. While he was charged with tax crimes related to his overseas dealings, he was not accused of any corruption or illegal lobbying. In a move that sparked controversy, Joe Biden pardoned his son for these crimes following the election. This pardon also extended to any potential federal crimes that Hunter Biden may have committed between 2014 and 2024.
The release of these photos has once again brought attention to the issue of Hunter Biden's business dealings and their potential impact on Joe Biden's political career. As the public continues to speculate and debate, the Bidens remain steadfast in their denial of any wrongdoing. It remains to be seen how these images will affect the ongoing political landscape.
