Hunter Biden’s art benefactor frequented White House on numerous occasions.

Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali Secures ‍Private Meeting‌ with Top Biden Adviser

​ ⁢ The California real estate investor who⁢ purchased Hunter Biden’s art has⁢ landed more⁣ than a dozen private visits to the White House, including a one-on-one meeting with one ‍of President Joe⁤ Biden’s most‌ senior advisers.
‍

⁣ Elizabeth Hirsh ⁢Naftali has‌ visited the‍ White House at least 13⁤ times⁢ since December ⁢2021, according to a Washington Free Beacon review ⁢of White House ⁤visitor​ logs. Naftali attended several large events at the White House but has also had several more intimate visits.⁤ She‍ had the opportunity to meet White House senior adviser​ Neera Tanden on ‌March 21, as shown in the visitor ⁣logs.

Naftali ⁢ was identified Monday as a buyer of Hunter ⁢Biden’s artwork, a revelation that raises significant ethics concerns for the White House. President Joe ⁣Biden appointed Naftali, who‌ owns‍ a commercial real estate firm in Los‍ Angeles, to‌ the prestigious Commission for⁣ the Preservation of ‍America’s Heritage Abroad just nine months after the​ younger Biden’s first art show. Naftali has‌ donated more than $13,000 to the Biden campaign and $36,500‌ to the⁢ Democratic National Committee.

The White House promised to implement “reasonable safeguards” around Hunter Biden’s art show and claimed that all buyers would remain anonymous. However, Naftali’s visits could cast ⁤doubt on those claims, especially considering that Business ⁤Insider reported ⁢Hunter Biden knew ‍the identity of at least one buyer: his close friend and adviser ‌Kevin Morris, who has loaned ⁢the ‍embattled first son millions of‍ dollars.

‌ Hunter Biden ⁤has previously hinted at his⁢ influence over the Commission ⁤for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad. In March 2015, Hunter Biden’s ‌cousin, Missy Owens, asked if he could secure a spot ‍at‌ the ‍agency for her ⁣mother.

​ Hunter Biden recalled a time when “Eric” – presumably his business partner​ Eric Schwerin ​-⁤ inquired about an⁣ appointment there in‌ 2008. Schwerin was confirmed to a post on the ​Commission for ⁢the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad in 2015.

All ⁣of ⁤Naftali’s visits to the White House occurred‍ after Hunter Biden’s first art‍ show opened in New York City in November 2021. The White House did not respond⁣ to a request‌ for comment.

‍ In addition to the meeting with Tanden, a longtime Democratic operative, Naftali also met with White House policy adviser Richard Figueroa⁢ on⁣ Dec.⁣ 14, 2021, and Sept.⁣ 14, ‍2022. She visited the West⁣ Wing with six other people on Sept. 15, 2022, ⁤and​ the East Wing residence with around forty others on Sept. 17, 2022.

‍ Despite having little experience in the​ art world, Hunter Biden⁤ has managed ‍to sell at least $1.3 million worth of ‌his works, including $875,000 worth of paintings to ⁤a single anonymous patron. These art purchases have likely provided a lifeline to Hunter Biden as⁣ he faces a series of legal and financial problems.

Last month, Hunter Biden was ‍indicted on misdemeanor ‌charges of failing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes. He also pleaded guilty to a felony gun‍ charge⁢ for owning ‌a firearm‌ while ‍addicted to drugs.

Hunter⁣ Biden​ recently ⁢settled a paternity‌ lawsuit involving his four-year-old daughter, whom the ‌Biden family has refused ‍to⁣ acknowledge. As⁢ part of the settlement, Hunter agreed ​to pay $5,000 in monthly child support ​and give his daughter some of his paintings.
