The message, dated July 30, 2017, was sent to Henry Zhao, an official associated with CEFC Energy, a Chinese conglomerate linked to military intelligence. Hunter Biden claimed to be sitting next to his father as he penned the missive.
Congress made the contentious message public on Thursday, relying on the testimony of an IRS whistleblower, Gary Shapley. Shapley came across the text while investigating the numerous tax violations committed by the younger Biden.
The message sparked intrigue: "We would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled." Furthermore, Hunter Biden warned his business partner of severe consequences if he did not comply with his demands. He said, "Tell the director I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight."

While no direct evidence confirms that President Biden was present during this exchange, a series of photographs on Hunter Biden's hard drive serve as potential supporting evidence. The images, timestamped 6:49 p.m. on the same day the message was sent, display Hunter Biden at his father's home in Wilmington, Delaware. In these photos, he is behind the wheel of the President's treasured 1967 Corvette Stingray.

The geotags in these pictures verify their location, adding weight to the theory that President Biden could have been present during his son's aggressive interaction with Zhao. This contradicts the President's repeated assertions that he did not know his son's overseas business engagements.

In subsequent messages, the younger Biden further suggested his father's presence, stating, "I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father." However, he did not elaborate on the nature of this anticipated communication.
These findings initially appeared in a report by the Washington Free Beacon, which featured an image of Hunter Biden in his father's Corvette, discovered in the garage where the vehicle was kept.

Despite the tense exchange, the Bidens and their Chinese partners apparently managed to resolve their differences. A few days later, Hunter Biden wrote to Zhao, indicating his family was looking forward to golfing with the director.
Further correspondence revealed the lucrative nature of the Biden family's association with CEFC Energy. An email from Hunter Biden confirmed an agreement to a $10 million contract for introductions, with bonuses attached for successful business deals. Within months, Hunter Biden received at least $5 million from the company for scouting potential investments and an additional $1 million for legal services for a CEFC Energy executive facing bribery charges.

It also emerged that at the time, Biden and his father were sharing office space in Washington with their Chinese partners. Hunter requested keys to be made for his father, step-mother Jill Biden, his uncle Jim Biden, and CEFC executives, who he referred to as 'office mates.'

Substantial evidence suggests President Biden was aware of his son's relationship with CEFC Energy. Rob Walker, a close friend of the Biden family, shared with the FBI that Hunter and Joe Biden attended a meeting at the Four Seasons in Washington, D.C., with CEFC officials.

Moreover, California businessman Tony Bobulinski confirmed that he discussed their CEFC venture with both Bidens in Los Angeles in 2017. He claims that Joe Biden was set to receive a 10 percent equity stake in the joint venture with CEFC.
These revelations from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop, corroborated by multiple sources, paint a potentially incriminating picture for President Biden. They contradict his claims of ignorance regarding his son's overseas business ventures and suggest an active involvement in Hunter's dealings, a controversial revelation given the nature of the associates involved. These latest findings could significantly impact the President's credibility, mainly as he has repeatedly denied knowledge of his son's business dealings.

Hunter Biden's communication with Zhao wasn't just a random business correspondence. It suggested a high-stakes negotiation wherein he seemed to wield his father's power to exert pressure. In his text, Hunter Biden stated, "And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction."
This rhetoric paints an image of an aggressive negotiation strategy, using his father's name as leverage. The younger Biden further confirmed his father's involvement by stating, "I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father. I sure hope whatever it is you are doing is very very important."
Emails also revealed through the laptop's hard drive, suggest that CEFC Energy compensated the Bidens generously. Hunter Biden's correspondence with Gongwen Dong, the director of CEFC, shows that they agreed to a $10 million contract just for introductions. Subsequently, CEFC Energy paid Hunter Biden a minimum of $5 million to scout potential investments and an extra $1 million for legal services for a company executive facing bribery charges.
