Furthermore, Jean-Pierre did not address whether Biden had met with Baturina at a Georgetown restaurant in 2015 during his tenure as Vice President.
On Monday, Devon Archer, Hunter Biden's close friend and business associate, testified that Joe Biden had indeed met with Russia's Yelena Baturina, who later invested $40 million into Hunter Biden's real estate ventures. Additionally, Baturina paid Hunter Biden $3.5 million in consulting fees.
The Daily Mail had previously reported on this relationship in October 2022, stating that Hunter Biden's real estate company had received a $40 million investment from the Russian oligarch. The Senate had already flagged the connection between the president's son and Baturina as concerning, particularly after she wired $3.5 million to a company linked to Hunter.

According to Forbes, the Inteco group, a plastics and construction conglomerate, had made Baturina the wealthiest woman in Russia at the time, with a current net worth of $1.4 billion. Despite these revelations, Biden has not explained why Baturina was excluded from the Russian sanctions list.
