Representative Elise Stefanik from New York is firing back at then-Vice President Joe Biden over a “damning photo” taken by White House photographer David Lienemann.
The photo was captured while Biden and his adviser Amos Hochstein were aboard Air Force Two on his 2015 trip to Ukraine.
At the time of the flight Hochstein was in communication with Hunter Biden and Burisma Holdings, an energy company that Hunter served on the board for.
This has prompted Stefanik to accuse Joe Biden of being involved in “corrupt foreign business dealings” as well as having intimate knowledge about his son’s influence peddling scheme.
The links between Amos Hochstein and Hunter Biden go much deeper than just being on board Air Force Two together during a flight to Kiev.
In 2014 emails reported by Fox News Digital it was revealed that Hunter had asked for help navigating a new tax in Ukraine from contacts recommended by Hochstein.
After Victoria Nuland testified to Congress she recounted how there were conversations about Hunters position on Burisma’s board during this same plane ride which leads Stefanik to conclude that all evidence points directly towards Joe Biden being deeply compromised.
White House visitor logs show that Eric Schwerin sent Hunter a link to Hochstein’s biography shortly after he joined Burisma Holdins’ board suggesting they had been in contact before then too.
On November 13th 2014, Heather King emailed Schwerin asking if he could get her connected with the US Embassy contact so she could hopefully meet with the guy who had been recommended by Hochstein as soon as possible.
Later that month logs reveal two separate meetings between Joe and Amos at the vice president’s residence followed by yet another meeting with Kathy Chung, executive assistant at the time and now deputy director of protocol for Pentagon days later.
In October 2015 logs also show three separate visits to West Wing where more conversations about Hunter’s place on Burisma took place according to Senate Republican reports released in December 2020.
