The State Department released previously unpublished correspondence from Hunter Biden, written in June 2016, in which he requested U.S. government assistance for the Ukrainian company Burisma. The letter sought help from the U.S. ambassador to Italy in arranging a meeting with an Italian official regarding regulations on geothermal energy projects in Tuscany. Correspondence from Ambassador John R. Phillips indicated he sent a Commerce Department official to aid in this request, revealing potential governmental support for Burisma's initiatives during Biden's tenure as vice president.
Mr. Phillips stated he did not view the letter as an effort to invoke the elder Mr. Biden to compel the embassy to assist Burisma.
Hunter Biden's letter asked for support in resolving regulatory hurdles for Burisma's geothermal energy projects in Tuscany, revealing governmental engagement.
