This week, \u200cAttorney General Merrick Garland will\u2064 be questioned \u200dabout the investigation into Hunter Biden, with the\u200d focus ultimately shifting to\u2064 how much the President\u200c knew \u2062about his son&#8217;s business\u200c dealings. In this captivating series, \u200bWayward Son, the Washington Examiner will delve into the events that brought us to this point. Part One explored \u2062how\u200c Hunter Biden&#8217;s failure \u200cto\u2062 register as a \u200cforeign agent made \u200dhim susceptible to \u200dfurther prosecution. Now, in Part Two, we\u2064 will uncover how\u200d Hunter Biden&#8217;s involvement in foreign affairs extended beyond Ukraine.<\/p>\n<h3>A Lesser-Known Contract in Romania<\/h3>\n<p>While much\u200d attention has been given\u200b to Hunter Biden&#8217;s lucrative relationships in Ukraine and China, it is \u200cimportant to\u2062 note \u200dthat he also earned a significant amount of money from a lesser-known contract\u200b in Romania.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to his \u2063work for the Ukrainian energy\u2063 firm Burisma, Hunter Biden&#8217;s involvement with a Romanian real \u200destate mogul facing corruption charges began in 2015. Some \u2062of his work appeared to overlap between the two cases.<\/p>\n<p>Burisma&#8217;s founder was under investigation for corruption by Ukrainian authorities, and the company\u2062 sought\u2064 Hunter Biden&#8217;s assistance, along with his associates, to navigate the legal\u2062 complexities. At the same time, \u200bthen-Vice President Joe Biden was \u2064advocating for <a title=\"Senate Democrats, Republicans clash over sweeping election reform bill\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-democrats-republicans-clash-over-sweeping-election-reform-bill\/\">anti-corruption reforms<\/a> in Romania, while his son utilized his connections within the\u2064 U.S. government to support his Romanian client. This mirrored the situation in Ukraine, where Hunter Biden received payments from Burisma\u200d while his father pushed for <a title=\"8 Ways The Left\u2019s \u201cFor The People\u201d Act Could Help Democrats Dominate Elections For A Generation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/8-ways-the-lefts-for-the-people-act-could-help-democrats-dominate-elections-for-a-generation\/\">anti-corruption measures<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly,\u200d Hunter Biden never disclosed his lobbying work under the \u200cForeign Agents Registration Act in either Romania or Ukraine,\u200c despite meeting with U.S. officials to\u200c advocate\u2062 for \u200cboth \u2063clients.<\/p>\n<h3>The Romanian\u2064 Real Estate Tycoon and Hunter Biden&#8217;s Involvement<\/h3>\n<p>Gabriel Popoviciu, a Romanian real estate tycoon, sought Hunter Biden&#8217;s assistance \u200din 2015 when he faced the possibility of \u200cjail time and the loss of his\u2062 business assets due to a corruption case.<\/p>\n<p>Bank records reveal that \u200bbetween November 2015 and May 2017, Hunter Biden and \u2064his business \u2062associates received at least $3 million from \u200bPopoviciu.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter\u200c Biden worked on the\u200b Popoviciu case alongside attorneys from \u200bBoies Schiller\u2062 Flexner, a\u2062 prominent\u200c law firm where he served as counsel for several years.<\/p>\n<p>In\u2063 September 2015, on the same day that Joe Biden met with the Romanian President \u2063at the White House, Hunter \u2062Biden emailed a partner at Boies Schiller Flexner to discuss his\u2062 Romanian client.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after, Hunter Biden \u200dsought a meeting with the U.S. ambassador to Romania on behalf \u200cof his Romanian client.\u2062 He planned \u2064to inform the ambassador \u200cabout the project he was working on.<\/p>\n<p>Meetings and discussions continued \u2063between Hunter Biden, his associates, the U.S. ambassador, and the Romanian ambassador \u200cto the United States. They focused on \u2064highlighting unresolved cases in Romania to argue \u2063against pursuing an investigation into Popoviciu.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2016, Hunter Biden&#8217;s \u2064associates attempted to secure a meeting\u2062 with the Romanian anti-corruption agency to \u200dpresent their case on \u200bbehalf of Popoviciu. They aimed to emphasize the procedural\u200c and substantive defects in the indictment against him.<\/p>\n<p>During this time, the U.S. ambassador, at the request of Boies Schiller, tried to facilitate \u2063a meeting between Hunter Biden&#8217;s group and \u2063Romanian officials.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Hunter\u2062 Biden also involved former FBI Director Louis Freeh,\u200d who \u200bwas \u200ca\u200b friend of the\u200c Biden family. Freeh eagerly \u2064joined \u200cthe lobbying campaign for Popoviciu and even engaged the FBI \u2064in the case.<\/p>\n<p>In July 2016, just a month after Popoviciu&#8217;s conviction on corruption charges, Freeh informed Hunter Biden\u2064 that \u200bhe had involved the FBI in the lobbying efforts and requested meetings with Romanian officials. Freeh even mentioned an unnamed\u200d &#8220;senior FBIHQ\u200c official&#8221; who expressed interest in meeting their client.<\/p>\n<p>Years later, \u200bFreeh\u200d would enlist \u200dthe help of former President Donald Trump&#8217;s lawyer, Rudy \u200cGiuliani, in the lobbying efforts \u200cfor Popoviciu.<\/p>\n<p>By March 2017, Joe Biden \u200dhad left office, and \u2062Freeh\u2063 expressed his desire \u2064to involve the former Vice President in &#8220;profitable matters&#8221;\u2063 at \u200dhis consulting \u2064firm. While it \u2062is unclear \u200bif \u200canything\u200c came of this proposal, bank records indicate that Hunter Biden was still receiving payments \u2062from\u2062 Popoviciu at \u200cthat time.<\/p>\n<p>It is\u200d worth noting that\u200d other members of the Biden family, including Hunter&#8217;s late brother&#8217;s widow, Hallie\u2063 Biden, also received payments from Popoviciu&#8217;s <a title=\"Hunter Was Just One Spawn Of The Powerful Who Occupied A Network That Might Be Called \u2018Family, Inc.\u2019\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-was-just-one-spawn-of-the-powerful-who-occupied-a-network-that-might-be-called-family-inc\/\">real estate company<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Popoviciu managed to avoid extradition to\u2063 Romania \u200bfrom the United\u2063 Kingdom, marking a victory in his\u200c lengthy legal battle.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for Part Three of Wayward Son, where we will continue to\u200c explore the intricate \u200dweb of Hunter Biden&#8217;s \u2064foreign dealings and the \u2062potential consequences he \u200bmay face.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>\u200dWhat questions arise regarding the extent of Hunter Biden&#8217;s foreign dealings and the \u200cpotential risks involved, particularly in relation to his ties\u200d to Popoviciu and the Romanian corruption case<\/h2>\n<p>Gation into Popoviciu&#8217;s corruption charges. Hunter Biden asserted that the case against his client was politically motivated and aimed\u200c at undermining\u200c his business interests.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, \u200bHunter Biden&#8217;s involvement in the Popoviciu case raised concerns about potential conflicts\u200b of interest. \u2064As the son of the Vice President of the United States, his actions could be perceived as leveraging his political connections for \u2064personal\u200b gain. Critics argue that his association with Popoviciu and his efforts to intervene in the <a title=\"Hunter Biden's Romanian business deal under scrutiny in impeachment inquiry.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/inside-hunter-bidens-lucrative-romanian-business-deal-key-to-impeachment-inquiry\/\">corruption case run \u200ccounter<\/a> to his father&#8217;s anti-corruption \u200cagenda in Romania.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Hunter Biden&#8217;s failure to disclose his lobbying activities and financial \u2064transactions with Popoviciu raises legal and \u200dethical questions. The Foreign Agents Registration Act \u2064(FARA) requires individuals to register and disclose any activities carried out on behalf of foreign\u2064 entities. By \u2063not complying with this law, Hunter Biden\u200c may have violated transparency and accountability measures.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, while Hunter Biden&#8217;s involvement with Burisma has garnered much media attention, his ties to Popoviciu and the Romanian\u2063 corruption case have received comparatively less scrutiny. This raises \u200cquestions about the extent of his foreign dealings and the potential risks involved.<\/p>\n<p>The implications of Hunter Biden&#8217;s foreign dealings extend beyond legal and ethical concerns. They also raise questions about potential vulnerabilities and the potential\u2064 for further implications\u2064 on \u2064the\u2064 Biden administration. With ongoing investigations into his finances, connections, and past business transactions, \u200cit remains \u200bto be\u200d seen how these revelations will impact President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration and public perception.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Hunter Biden&#8217;s involvement in foreign affairs, specifically his undisclosed work in Romania, adds another layer of complexity to his \u2064already controversial portfolio. Through his association with Gabriel Popoviciu,\u200b the Romanian real estate tycoon facing corruption charges, and his efforts to intervene in the case, Hunter Biden&#8217;s actions raise questions about conflicts of interest, transparency, and\u2062 potential legal\u200b violations. As investigations continue, the potential implications on the Biden administration remain uncertain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hunter Biden is entangled in legal issues from various angles, following an unconventional path.
