The White House asserted executive privilege over 200 records housed at the National Archives (NARA) concerning Hunter Biden’s business interactions with the Office of the Vice President during the Obama administration, according to America First Legal (AFL) on Wednesday.
America First Legal launched a lawsuit to obtain records from NARA encompassing communications between January 2011 and December 2013 with the name of Hunter Biden’s company, “Rosemont Seneca.”
In response to AFL’s records request, NARA
refused to release the records, admitting the disclosure would reveal “confidential advice” between then-Vice President Joe Biden and White House advisers. NARA did provide 861 records that apparently did not fall under executive privilege.
“Release would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors,” NARA told AFL in response to its records request.
NARA also consistently
refuses to provide lawmakers any information about Joe Biden’s email aliases “Robert Peters,” “Robin Ware,” and “JRB Ware.”
The scope of emails requested by AFL encompassed some of Hunter Biden’s earliest business ventures with Rosemont Seneca Partners, an entity associated with
Devon Archer,
Eric Schwerin, CCP-liked entities, and
Che Feng, who Hunter Biden identified as the “Super Chairman.”
Through the “Super Chairman,” Hunter Biden formed a joint venture,
BHR Partners, in which Hunter Biden’s company, Skaneateles LLC, held a ten percent equity stake. BHR Partners is co-owned by the state-controlled Bank of China and still boasts billions of allocated capital around the globe.
Hunter Biden conveyed his stake in BHR Partners to his lawyer Kevin Morris, Breitbart News exclusively
reported in April. In 2017, Devon Archer
conveyed his stake in BHR Painters to his wife.
The emails
released by AFL on Wednesday show Hunter Biden in 2011 involved himself in planning a state dinner for Chinese officials at the White House just months before he traveled to the country to begin forming the relationships to launch BHR Partners.
