Politico’s Ben Schreckinger said Tuesday that a source corroborated several of Hunter Biden’s emails, including one believed to suggest giving his father, President Joe Biden, equity in a Chinese company.
“A person who had independent access to Hunter Biden’s emails confirmed he did receive a 2015 email from a Ukrainian businessman thanking him for the chance to meet Joe Biden,” Politico said, citing Schreckinger’s new book released on Tuesday, The Bidens: Inside the Family’s Fifty-Year Rise to Power. “The same goes for a 2017 email in which a proposed equity breakdown of a venture with Chinese energy executives includes the line, ’10 held by H for the big guy?'”
Politico said the source “recalled seeing both emails, but was not in a position to compare the leaked emails word-for-word to the originals.”
The emails have been a source of contention since the New York Post published copies of them, including the equity email, in an October 15 report, just weeks before the presidential election. The emails were said to have been obtained from a damaged laptop the president’s son left at a computer repair store in Delaware, in April 2019. The store’s owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, turned the laptop over to former President Donald Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, when Biden failed to retrieve it.
Giuliani provided the computer to numerous media outlets, but just the Post was initially willing to publish its contents. Mainstream media outlets and tech companies widely bewailed the move, however, opting to treat the claims as unconfirmed. Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio refused to acknowledge the allegations, with Managing Editor Terence Samuels saying the outlet didn’t want to “waste our time on stories that are not really stories.”
