Eric Schwerin, president of the Rosemont Seneca firm, met with Vice President Biden under former President Barack Obama, the New York Post reports. Schwerin is linked to a variety of Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings, past and present. Hunter's finances have come under intense scrutiny as evidence mounts showing his father was used as leverage in negotiations.
The meeting with Joe Biden was one of 19 visits Schwerin paid to the White House, where he also met with a variety of aides to the vice president, per archived visitor logs from the Obama White House.
The logs also reveal that Schwerin met with various close aides of both Joe and Jill Biden at key moments in Hunter’s life when he was striking multi-million dollar deals in foreign countries, including China. Yet President Biden has long insisted he had no involvement in his son’s foreign affairs. “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” he said in 2019.

Emails from Hunter Biden's discarded laptop unveil a series of exchanges between Hunter and his associates in Rosemont Seneca’s joint venture with Chinese investment firms Bohai Capital and BHR. In February 2017, Schwerin emailed the CEO of BHR, Jonathan Li. Previously, Li sent Hunter his son's resume alongside a list of colleges he planned to apply to.

"Jonathan, Hunter asked me to send you a copy of the recommendation letter that he asked his father to write on behalf of Christopher for Brown University," Schwerin wrote. It remains unclear whether Li’s son was admitted to Brown University and, if so, whether or not he attended.
The emails originated from a laptop alleged to belong to Hunter Biden. When questioned about the content of the emails, White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates told Fox News Digital, "We don't comment on the laptop."
The president has repeatedly denied discussing Hunter's business ventures with his son. Earlier this month, White House press secretary Jenn Psaki was asked to confirm if Biden's statement that he has not discussed with his son his overseas business dealings still stands. "Yes," Psaki responded.
