House Republicans are questioning the Justice Department’s handling of Hunter Biden’s involvement in the corruption trial of Chinese businessman Chi Ping “Patrick” Ho.
Evidence suggests that prosecutors purposely kept Hunter Biden’s name out of the trial despite his connections to Ho and CEFC China Energy.
“Information obtained by the Committees indicate that prosecutors sought to keep the Biden name out of Mr. Ho’s trial. First, as the Oversight Committee previously noted, prosecutors in Mr. Ho’s case seemingly redacted Hunter Biden’s name from evidence used at trial,” the Republicans wrote.
“During the trial, a prosecutor requested that the judge redact from an email between Ho and Jeremic that DOJ intended to introduce into evidence the name of ‘an individual that Mr. Jeremic was willing to bring to a dinner with the chairman Mr. Ye,’” the letter said.
Republicans are seeking unredacted emails and iPad contents related to the case.
This is part of a broader investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings and President Joe Biden’s impeachment inquiry.
Hunter Biden’s business relationship with CEFC and receiving millions without clear services are highlighted in the letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland.
“In the years immediately preceding Mr. Ho’s trial and during his trial, Hunter Biden was closely connected to both Mr. Ho and CEFC. Mr. Biden’s business relationship with CEFC is lengthy and well-documented, and resulted in Mr. Biden receiving millions of dollars without providing an identifiable product or service,” the letter said. “Additionally, Mr. Ho paid Hunter Biden $1 million to serve as his legal counsel, though it is not clear what work Mr. Biden actually performed—especially since Mr. Biden is not a licensed attorney in New York.”
