Messages reveal that Hunter Biden proposed a meeting with his VP father during a trip to the Sandy Hook memorial for a Chinese executive

Messages show Hunter Biden proposed a meeting between his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, and a Chinese business partner during a trip to a memorial service for the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

The House Ways and Means Committee released the exchange last week as part of a trove of records obtained from IRS agents who became whistleblowers and raised concerns about how a federal investigation into Hunter Biden was being conducted.

“Can you meet this evening early,” Hunter Biden messaged Lui Yadong, an executive at the Chinese Community Party-linked energy company known as CEFC, on the Chinese messaging app WeChat in mid-December 2017.

“My father will be in New York also and he wants me to attend the Sandyhook [sic] memorial service with him and I would like him to meet you along with my uncle and then you and I can talk let me know if that works,” he added.

Within an hour, Liu responded, “No Problem. Pls let me know where and when to meet.”

As noted by the New York Post, it was not clear whether the meeting actually took place, but Joe Biden was photographed at an event marking the five-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting at the Plaza Hotel.

Congressional investigators are examining Hunter Biden’s contacts, including in China, as part of a corruption-focused impeachment inquiry into now-President Joe Biden. The elder Biden has denied being financially involved in his son’s foreign business dealings.

CEFC previously drew attention with the disclosure of a WhatsApp message in which Hunter Biden appeared to shake down another executive at the company, Henry Zhao, for money in the summer of 2017.

“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight,” Hunter wrote to Zhao.

Less than ten days later, CEFC-associated accounts wired more than $5 million to accounts associated with Hunter Biden.

In congressional testimony this year, Hunter Biden claimed that he messaged the wrong Zhao in the summer of 2017 because he was “drunk and probably high.”

Another impeachment witness, former Biden family business partner Tony Bobulinski, claimed that Hunter Biden lied to lawmakers about his communications with CEFC.

Hunter Biden separately faces two criminal indictments that arose out of the federal investigation into his conduct. The first son has pleaded not guilty to gun and tax charges. His gun-related trial is expected to begin next week in Delaware.
