A former Chinese official, Patrick Ho, who served time in a U.S. prison for bribery, is threatening to sue Hunter Biden for a $1 million retainer fee, claiming Hunter provided no services.
This demand comes amidst Hunter’s legal troubles, including tax and firearms charges.
“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,” Rep. James Comer wrote.
“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 — aside from hiring another law firm to represent Mr. Ho.”
Ho gave Hunter seven days to respond.
“Hunter didn’t visit Ho, 74, even once in jail, Ho has told friends bitterly,” columnist Miranda Divine wrote.
The situation adds to scrutiny on the Bidens, with ties to a corrupt family in the White House.
The demand for repayment raises questions about Hunter’s business dealings and lack of services provided in exchange for substantial payments.
