The transcript of the closed-door Hunter Biden deposition before the House Oversight Committee appears to confirm President Joe Biden is, in fact, “the big guy” referred to in e-mails first reported from his son’s laptop in advance of the 2020 election. At the time, the U.S. media and intelligence agencies dismissed the evidence of corruption as “Russian disinformation.”
But in exchanges throughout his deposition this week, Hunter not only repeatedly validated the claims made by those who first reported on his hard drive – including The National Pulse – he also confirmed the identity of the man who “10%” of a prospective business deal would be held for: Joe Biden.
The matter concerns a May 13, 2017, e-mail from Hunter’s business partner, James Gilliar, who was pitching for business with Chinese Communist Party-linked CEFC China Energy company. At the time, Joe Biden was still in office, which provided a clue as to who the “10 held by H for the big guy” was really for.
In his deposition, Hunter was asked by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), “One final question, because our round is up, I know everyone’s disappointed. But the reference to the big guy, you would agree, is a reference to your father?”
Hunter initially answers in the same way he responded to the question throughout the deposition: “I truly don’t know what the hell that James was talking about. All I know is that what actually happened. All I know is that what was executed in the agreement, and the agreement didn’t have anything to do with my father. My father’s never been involved with my business. He’s never benefited from my business, and he’s never taken an action to benefit me or any of my business.”
Pressing once more, Jordon quizzed: “If that’s the case, though, why is Gilliar drafting something like that?”
At this point, Hunter let the cat out of the bag, admitting it was indeed a reference to Joe Biden.
“Because I think that it was just as Rob Walker said. I think that it was pie in the sky. Like Joe Biden’s out of the office. Maybe we’ll be able to get him involved. Remember, again, is that Joe Biden, for first time in 48 years, is not an elected official and is not seeking office. And so James is probably, like, wow, wouldn’t be great [sic] if a former Vice President could be in our business together? And I say you’re out of your mind. My dad knows less about doing cross-border blah, blah, blah, than he does about — I mean, it’s just ridiculous. It’s absolutely ridiculous.”
While Hunter and the Biden family will hide behind the fact that no business involving Joe Biden supposedly came to pass with CEFC, the admission that his business partners were, in fact, trying to sell access to the outgoing Vice President of the United States will doubtless further cause issues for the 46th President and his son.
