Hunter Biden’s business and Joe Biden’s politics intertwined.
Connections and Confidantes: The Intriguing Web of the Biden Family
It is no secret that Joe Biden has repeatedly denied any knowledge of his son’s business dealings. However, recent revelations suggest that some of his closest aides may have had overlapping roles in the Biden family’s affairs.
Take, for example, Anne Marie Person. She was an employee at Hunter Biden’s now-defunct company, Rosemont Seneca, and appeared to play a role in managing his schedule and logistics. Interestingly, Person later joined Joe Biden’s office and seemed to take on a similar role for Hunter’s father. Emails from Hunter’s abandoned laptop reveal that Person maintained contact with Hunter even while working for the vice president, offering to arrange a White House tour for someone connected to Hunter’s business.
Another figure in this intricate web is Michael Muldoon, who married a fellow Rosemont Seneca employee, Anne Marie Person. Muldoon, who held a higher-level position at Rosemont Seneca, was involved in advancing foreign business deals for Hunter Biden and his partners. However, Muldoon eventually left Hunter’s firm for a job in the Obama administration, working as an investment officer at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
It is worth noting that Hunter Biden’s associates made efforts to establish connections at USAID on behalf of Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company where Hunter served on the board. While there is no evidence of Muldoon’s involvement in this particular partnership, the fact that he worked at USAID while the agency struck a deal with Burisma during Joe Biden’s vice presidency raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
Mark Doyle, a former senior adviser to Joe Biden and a financial director for his 2008 presidential bid, also played a role in Hunter Biden’s business ventures. Emails reveal that Doyle attempted to facilitate various deals, including one with the Saudi Business Council. Additionally, Doyle started a political action committee for Joe Biden’s successful presidential campaign in 2019, raising significant funds.
Another intriguing connection is Mark Gitenstein, a former U.S. ambassador to Romania. Gitenstein appeared to provide informal advice to Hunter Biden’s business regarding a Romanian investigation into one of Hunter’s clients. Emails show that Gitenstein shared messages from State Department officials, indicating that the investigation could potentially harm Hunter’s client. Gitenstein had left government service by then and was working in the private sector.
Eric Schwerin, one of Hunter Biden’s closest business associates at Rosemont Seneca, had involvement in various aspects of the Biden family’s affairs, from foreign deals to personal finances. Schwerin visited the White House numerous times during Joe Biden’s vice presidency and received a government appointment in 2015 to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad.
Even in matters of staffing, Hunter Biden seemed to have influence. He played a role in securing a job for Kathy Chung, a Senate aide, in his father’s office. Chung maintained communication between Hunter and his business partners while working as an executive assistant in the vice president’s office. In 2017, Hunter attempted to recruit Chung to work for him directly, but she remained on Joe Biden’s personal staff.
Lastly, Rob Walker, an executive at Rosemont Seneca, was another close business associate of Hunter Biden. His wife, Betsy Massey Walker, served as a personal aide to Jill Biden during Joe Biden’s vice presidency.
These connections and confidantes within the Biden family raise questions about the extent of Joe Biden’s knowledge and involvement in his son’s business dealings. While Joe Biden has tried to distance himself from these matters, the overlapping roles of his aides suggest a more complex web of influence and connections.
