Joe says he “never” discussed business with his son…
Newly uncovered photos of Joe Biden and son Hunter posing with Chinese power players cast new doubt on the outgoing president’s claim that he and his son never discussed business.
According to Fox News the photos, obtained by conservative-leaning America First Legal through litigation against the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), appear to show then-Vice President Biden introducing his son to Chinese President Xi Jinping and then-Vice President Li Yuanchao.
Other photos show Joe Biden posing with Hunter’s business associates from BHR Partners, including Jonathan Li and Ming Xue.
“These images shed light on the connections between then-Vice President Biden, Hunter and his Chinese business associates, and Chinese government officials including President Xi Jinping,” America First Legal said in a press release this week. “Lawyers and representatives for President Biden and President Obama delayed NARA’s release of these photographs, as they did with other records, until after Election Day.”
“These photos corroborate the House Oversight Committee’s investigative findings that Hunter Biden arranged for his father to meet with Jonathan Li and other BHR executives during the 2013 China trip, where ‘Mr. Li sought— and received — access to Vice President Biden’s political power, including, for example, preferential access to then-U.S. Ambassador to China Max Baucus … a condition of Hunter Biden and his associates participating in the BHR deal,’” America First Legal wrote.
America First Legal also wrote that, according to the committee’s investigation, “the Biden Family benefited from their business dealings with BHR.”

“I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Joe Biden said on the presidential campaign trail in 2019.

Author of Laptop From Hell Miranda Devine shared the newly uncovered pictures on X, saying “More photos from @America1stLegal show exactly how Joe Biden as VP leveraged his influence so Hunter could do business.”

“These photos are incredibly damning and speak volumes,” author and journalist Peter Schweizer posted on X.
Great work, @America1stLegal! These photos are incredibly damning and speak volumes. They prove what I’ve been reporting since 2018 in my book #SECRETEMPIREShttps://t.co/Q84hKeGVSh pic.twitter.com/n3HuhWqFr2
