According to a recently surfaced email, President Joe Biden agreed to pay more than $800,000 of the legal bills built up by his son Hunter while he was conducting business with a Chinese firm.
The email contained an attached spreadsheet detailing debts owed by Hunter, which calls into question the validity of his father’s repeated claims about never discussing Hunter’s foreign business dealings with him.
The New York Post reported that the email was sent on January 17, 2019, by Hunter’s former personal assistant, Katie Dodge, and sent to an accountant named Linda Shapero, who founded the firm Global DEEZ in Leesburg, Virginia.
