Hunter Biden’s associate claims Joe Biden dined with Burisma exec, but Biden’s team denies it.

Former‌ Hunter Biden ‌Business Associate ⁣Confirms ‌Joe Biden’s ⁢Attendance at Controversial Dinner

In a recent testimony to Congress, Devon Archer, ‌a former⁣ business associate of Hunter Biden, confirmed that Joe⁣ Biden attended a dinner in 2015 with a Ukrainian energy executive. This revelation contradicts the Biden‍ campaign’s long-standing denial of any such ​meeting.

According to Archer’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee, Joe Biden was present at the dinner along with several individuals, including “Vadym P. from Burisma.” At the time, Archer served on the board‍ of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian gas company, alongside Hunter‍ Biden, who⁣ received substantial payments from the company.

The reference to​ “Vadym P.” pertains to Vadym Pozharskyi, a Burisma executive who expressed gratitude to Hunter Biden​ for arranging the dinner with his ‍father. The dinner took place at Café Milano in​ Washington, D.C., as confirmed by an email from Pozharskyi to Hunter Biden ⁤in April 2015.

In May 2021, the New York Post reported that the meeting‍ between Pozharskyi and‍ Joe Biden was‍ indeed‌ the 2015 dinner at Café ⁢Milano, despite the ‌Biden campaign’s consistent denial ​of such an encounter.

Andrew Bates, a White House spokesman and former member of Biden’s ‌2020 campaign communications ​team, previously stated that⁢ Joe Biden’s official​ schedules from that⁤ time were​ reviewed, and no meeting with Pozharskyi, as alleged by the New York Post, ever‌ occurred.

In August 2019, Joe Biden himself emphatically denied discussing his son’s business affairs with him or anyone‌ else. However,⁢ Archer’s recent confirmation of Joe Biden’s presence at the dinner⁢ contradicts ​these claims.

Michael Carpenter, a ⁢former employee of Joe Biden who worked for him during the time of the ⁢dinner, dismissed the accusations as a Russian disinformation campaign. Carpenter,‍ currently serving ​as Biden’s U.S. representative at the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, confidently labeled the allegations as such.

Nevertheless, Archer’s testimony this week solidifies ‍Joe Biden’s attendance at the dinner and suggests that the meeting was not as brief or⁢ unofficial ​as some Biden surrogates⁤ had previously argued.

Archer also revealed in⁤ an interview ⁤this week⁣ that Joe Biden ‍had sent him ‍a letter in 2011, contradicting the president’s ⁢claim of never discussing his son’s business dealings. The letter, written by‍ then-Vice ⁣President Biden, expressed regret for‍ not being able to ‍speak with Archer at a luncheon and expressed a desire to see him again soon with Hunter.

Furthermore, Archer⁤ informed the House Oversight Committee that Hunter ⁤Biden​ frequently called his father during business meetings, making over 20 ⁣phone calls to sell the ​Biden “brand.”
