Hunter Biden Sought US Help for Burisma Project

Hunter Biden's request for assistance from the U.S. State Department in securing a deal for the Ukrainian energy company Burisma in 2016 has raised eyebrows, especially given that his father, President Joe Biden, was vice president at the time. This revelation, reported by The New York Times, comes shortly after President Biden's announcement to drop his re-election bid, prompting speculation about the timing of the document release. CNN's Edward-Isaac Dovere expressed that the situation feels 'very strange,' highlighting concerns over potential leverage Hunter may have wielded due to his father's political position. While Hunter's attorney claims the request was merely for an introduction and did not result in a meeting, the unease among embassy officials is evident. Critics continue to question the implications of Hunter's actions, particularly as he faces legal issues related to tax evasion linked to his foreign business dealings.
