Hunter’s e-mails refer to p.r. firm

E-mails found on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop provide new details about his business relationship with the head of a consulting firm reportedly under investigation by the Justice Department.

Blue Star Strategies signed on to boost the image of Ukraine-based energy company Burisma Holdings in November 2015, while Biden was on the company’s board.

Blue Star co-founder and CEO Karen Tramontano described the first son to Senate investigators in August 2020 as “an acquaintance” and denied that she had spoken to him or any other Burisma board member about taking on the energy firm as a client.

But e-mails, first reported by DailyMail.com, show that on Nov. 3, 2015, days before Blue Star’s hiring, Biden told Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi: “Let me have one final call with them . . . so we can all feel the retainer is in line with the work required.

“I trust [Blue Star cofounder] Sally [Painter] and Karen implicitly so I believe we are all aligned but I want to have one last conversation with them to confirm before we proceed.”

Two days later, Biden confirmed to Pozharskyi that “[Fellow Burisma board member] Devon [Archer] and I do feel comfortable with BS [Blue Star] and the ability of Sally & Karen to deliver.”

In her testimony, Tramontano claimed Burisma had retained Blue Star after then-US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt criticized the handling of a corruption case against the firm’s owner, Mykola Zlochevsky.
