In what could potentially be a blockbuster revelation, an email has surfaced mentioning Joe Biden in a discussion of an “arranged” phone call between him and his son Hunter Biden about a multimillion-dollar gas deal with China.
The email, dated October 27, 2017, was first reported by the Daily Mail and was discovered on Hunter’s infamous laptop.
In it, a Louisiana-based attorney named Robert Fenet confirms he arranged for “a call from Joe Biden and Hunter Biden on Monday morning to discuss the purchase of the 5 million tons of gas” from the US side of the deal – Houston Energy Chernière company.
The report points out that that same month, Hunter and President Biden’s brother Jim Biden were “brokering a multi-million dollar deal to supply Louisiana gas to the country on behalf of their business partners, Chinese energy giant CEFC.”
This was in a period before Biden announced a presidential candidate and after his term as Barack Obama’s vice president.
The Daily Mail also warns that it’s conceivable that Fenet meant “Jim” rather than “Joe,” which is fair.
But, they add, “other emails and whistleblower testimony suggest that Joe was involved in Hunter’s business dealings with the Chinese.”

Joe Biden Linked to Hunter’s Chinese Business Transactions in Email?
The New York Post also mentions the possibility of accidentally mentioning Joe instead of brother James, but elaborates on President Biden’s relationship with Cherniere.
“President Biden has a history of ties to Cherniere executives,” they write. “He appointed former corporate lobbyist and vice president Ankit Desai as his political director in 2005, and former board member Heather Zichal became his campaign climate adviser in 2020.”

President Biden has repeatedly denied any involvement in his son’s business dealings. This email, if in fact referring to Joe, would directly contradict his denials.
A previous Republican investigation into Hunter’s business dealings in April brought James Biden into the family’s China payments scandal, which revealed that the president’s brother’s company received payments in 2018 from a China-funded advisory group.
Senator Chuck Grassley reported that the records show that before Joe Biden launched his presidential campaign, James and Hunter received monthly commissions from the company totaling $165,000 — $100,000 for Hunter and $65,000 for James.

10% for the big man
According to a Washington Post report last April, Hunter Biden was the beneficiary of millions of dollars in consulting fees from executives of a Chinese energy company — amounting to nearly $5 million.
The newspaper analyzed Hunter’s ties to Chinese energy company CEFC China Energy.
“Accounts linked to Hunter Biden received $3.8 million in payments from CEFC through advisory contracts,” the outlet revealed.
Hunter’s ties to the Chinese energy company, the Post explained, “illustrate the ways in which [President Biden’s] family benefited from relationships built over Joe Biden’s decades in public service.
According to banking records, $3.8 million in consulting fees flowed into Hunter Biden’s accounts over a 14-month period. He also received $1 million for a legal retainer.

James Biden’s name popped up in the days leading up to the 2020 presidential election in a UKTN News interview with Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden.
Bobulinski claimed that despite repeated denials on the matter, Joe Biden discussed business dealings with his son and suggested that the Democrat has also been compromised by the Chinese Communist Party.
An email obtained by UKTN News at the time appeared to outline a payout for Biden in a joint venture with CEFC China Energy.
It included a proposed stock split of “20” for “H” and “10 held by H for the big man?”

Bobulinski insisted in an interview with Tucker Carlson that the “big man” is a reference to Joe Biden, although that has not been confirmed anywhere else.

Bobulinski also gave UKTN a copy of a text message where he texted Jim telling him to “thank Joe for his time” regarding their deal with communist China.

Further emails reported by the Daily Mail show the president’s brother highlighting the Biden family’s involvement in the project.
“We Bidens are often full of problems, they can [sic] come from working with relatives, have a different opinion,” he wrote to Fenet in October 2017.
“It’s all about family and people we want to do business with.”
