Senate committee investigating alleged Hunter Biden drive, smoking-gun email By Steven NelsonOctober 14, 2020 | 10:46am | Updated Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad HUNTER BIDEN Trump on Post’s Hunter Biden exposé: China will 'own' the US if Joe Biden wins Cruz slams 'unbelievable' Twitter censorship of another Hunter Biden story Trump camp's Twitter locked in new fallout from Post’s Biden bombshell WH press secretary: Twitter has me 'at gunpoint' over Post's Hunter Biden story WASHINGTON — A Senate committee is investigating a bombshell cache of documents about Hunter Biden’s foreign dealings that was acquired by a Delaware computer repairman and exposed Wednesday by The Post. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee confirmed it is working with the repairman, whose identity was confirmed by The Post, to verify documents from the hard drive. “There are so many red flags about the Biden family trying to cash in on the Vice President’s position that it can be hard to keep them straight,” Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told The Post. “Today’s report raises more questions that must be resolved,” Johnson said. “What we know for a fact is that Hunter Biden took millions of dollars from foreign nationals including, the wife of the former Mayor of Moscow, people tied to the Chinese Communist Party and other unsavory characters. Joe Biden needs to finally come clean and tell the truth to the American people about all of these issues, and he needs to do it now.” An email from the cache indicates Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate, met with Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, while it employed his son. At the time, Biden led the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy. Biden said last year, “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” including his reported $83,000 monthly pay on Burisma’s board. House Democrats impeached President Trump in December for asking Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden’s employment. The repairman contacted Johnson’s committee in late September — one day after it released a report on Joe Biden’s apparent conflicts of interest in his son’s international business dealings, including a claim he received $3.5 million from the wife of Moscow’s former mayor. The repairman provided correspondence to The Post documenting his outreach to the committee.

We have been in contact with the whistleblower and are in the process of attempting to validate the information he provided.” FILED UNDER 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION , HUNTER BIDEN , JOE BIDEN , 10/14/20
