Monday released some photographs of Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden during the Obama-Biden administration and claimed that the release of these photographs by the National Archives and Records Administration was delayed until Election Day. The photographs show then-Vice President Joe Biden introducing Hunter to China President Xi Jinping, to then-Vice president Li Yuanchao. On that trip, Biden also met and took pictured with Hunter's business associates from BHR Partners, including Jonathan Li and Ming Xue.
America First Legal said they obtained the photos through litigation against the National Archives and Records Administration. "Lawyers and representatives for President Biden and President Obama delayed NARA's release of these photographs, as they did with other records, until after Election Day," AFL said.
"Following the Presidential Records Act, NARA had planned to release these photographs on October 23, 2024 — thirteen days before Election Day. But Biden and Obama’s lawyers and representatives invoked an extension of 30 working days, so they have not been released until now," AFL said.
"In 2013, then-Vice President Biden went on an official trip across Asia, including a stop in Beijing, China. In these newly-released photographs, Joe Biden appears to introduce his son, Hunter, to President Xi Jinping of the People’s Republic of China," the AFL report said.
"These photos corroborate the House Oversight Committee’s investigative findings that Hunter Biden arranged for his father to meet with Jonathan Li and other BHR executives during the 2013 China trip, where “Mr. Li sought—and received—access to Vice President Biden’s political power, including, for example, preferential access to then-U.S. Ambassador to China Max Baucus … a condition of Hunter Biden and his associates participating in the BHR deal.” AFL’s investigation previously uncovered other evidence showing Hunter’s special access to then-US Ambassador Baucus.
America First Legal counsel Michael Ding issued a statement about the new photographs and said: “Even while President Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter, for anything and everything ‘he has committed or may have committed or taken part in’ going all the way back to the year 2014, more evidence comes out each day showing how his family leveraged Joe Biden’s even longer career in public office for private gain. America First Legal will not stop fighting to uncover the full story of the Biden Family’s corruption."
