As the evidence mounts, the White House is changing its story about Joe Biden’s involvement in his son’s business activity
Joe Biden has repeatedly denied discussing business with his son Hunter, vowing a complete “wall of separation” exists.
This lie has been exposed by email and text message communication as well as numerous eyewitnesses who testified before Congress.
The Biden family's Chinese business partners purchased $23 million in diamonds, between 2016 and 2017. Everyone knows diamonds are a time-tested way to launder money and hide that money from IRS agents.

Suddenly, the White House is changing its story. Now the White House asserts Joe has never been “in business” with his son and “did not share profits.”
Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, stated that Hunter “did not share” with his father in his business or share profits with him. This represents a significant shift in the surrounding allegations connecting President Biden to his son’s business activities.
Lowell “categorically” asserted that Biden had no involvement in Hunter’s past business ventures and did not financially benefit from them. “I can tell you that Hunter did not share his business with his dad,” Lowell told CNN.
“I can tell you that he did not share money from his businesses with his dad. And as the evidence out there, his dad, like all good parents, tried to help Hunter when Hunter needed that help,” he added.
Unfortunately for Joe Biden, even if he allegedly didn’t receive payment, it still constitutes bribery to carry out political favors for foreign nationals in exchange for nearly $20 million sent to close family members, including two of his grandchildren.
According to Hunter’s text messages, his father took 50% of his earnings.
House Republicans conducting an investigation into the Biden family’s affairs have accused the White House of altering its stance regarding President Biden’s involvement in his son’s business dealings. Back in 2019, Biden vigorously denied having any conversations on business with his son.
During his tenure as Vice President, Biden had meetings with over a dozen of Hunter’s international business associates.
“First of all, I have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their business, period,” Biden said in August 2019. “There wasn’t any hint of scandal at all when we were there. It was the same kind of strict, strict rules. That’s why I never talk with my son or my brother or anyone else, even distant family about their business interest, period.”
“I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Biden told Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a month later. “You should be looking at Trump. Trump’s doing this because he knows I’ll beat him like a drum. … Everybody’s looked at it and said there’s nothing there. Ask the right question.”
“I don’t discuss business with my son,” Biden said again the next month in October 2019.
The White House now says Biden was not “in business” with his son.
White House counsel’s office spokesperson Ian Sams said “As we have said many times before, the president was not in business with his son.”
“The answer remains the same,” said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. “The president was never in business with his son. I just don’t have anything else to add.”
Recent statements made by Hunter’s lawyer, asserting that Hunter did not share profits with his father, appear to be contradicted by the content of Hunter’s text messages and emails retrieved from his abandoned laptop.
In a text message to his daughter, Naomi, he disclosed that his father had compelled him to relinquish half of his earnings.
“I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family Fro (sic) 30 years. It’s really hard. But don’t worry unlike Pop I won’t make you give me half your salary,” Hunter said.
Hunter also stated that he had to pay his father’s bills for many years.
“Too many cooks in the kitchen,” Hunter said, “Too many profile changes and such. Happened 10 days ago too. What do you need? I’m going to bank in a few. Need to verify identity in person.”
“I need to pay AT&T.” Katie Dodge, Hunter’s assistant said.
Hunter told her to use both his debit card and his “Wells Fargo credit line.”
“My dad has been using most lines on this account which I’ve through the gracious offerings of Eric [Schwerin] have paid for past 11 years,” Hunter said.
In an email sent by Eric Schwerin, who has a longstanding business association with Hunter, it was mentioned that he was moving money from Biden’s tax refund payment into Hunter’s bank account, saying that “he owes it to you.”
