Hunter Biden lobbied the US government for assistance in securing a profitable contract with an Italian energy company, while his father served as vice president, according to new documents. Despite revealing his request to the then US ambassador to Italy in 2016, there is no evidence of any official response or that Joe Biden was aware of the efforts by his son. This incident follows Hunter Biden's previous legal issues regarding tax evasion and illegal gun ownership, raising concerns among Republicans.
The disclosure from the Freedom of Information Act adds to ongoing Republican allegations that Joe Biden's political influence was leveraged to benefit Hunter Biden's business dealings. James Comer described the situation as potentially the 'biggest political corruption scandal of our history's lifetime,' indicating the significant political weight Republicans ascribe to these developments. However, the ongoing investigations seem to have diminished in urgency following Biden's recent withdrawal from the presidential race.
