‘Firm’ Biden evidence

President Biden’s claim that he never discussed business dealings with his son Hunter is taking another blow as e-mails emerge indicating plans to start a consultancy and law firm that the elder Biden would join after leaving office as vice president.

The e-mail exchange, from 2014 and first reported by the Daily Mail, is between Hunter and family ally Jeff Cooper, and outlines plans for a firm to be led by Joe Biden’s eldest son, the late Beau Biden, who was set to be paid $500,000 a year to sit atop the company.

In one e-mail, Hunter says, “In order to develop this as a platform for both JRB’s I think it is imperative we (the three of us) have full control come 2016 when JRB comes on board.”

The second JRB mentioned is presumably nowPresident Biden, the first is

Beau who also had those initials, and “the three of us” are Cooper and the Biden brothers. The main subject matter of Cooper’s e-mail is selection of a board of directors for the planned enterprise as well as client development.

Another e-mail goes on to spell out the salary structure for the firm, which specified $500,000+ for Beau, $250,000+ for a senior attorney, $175,000 for a junior attorney, and a total salary baseline of “about 1.2 M” in the first year of operation.

However, the plans for the Biden-led firm never got off the ground.

The new e-mail developments come on the heels of evidence revealed last month that Joe Biden met with Mexican billionaires and other financial partners of Hunter Biden in 2014, even arranging for flights aboard Air Force 2.
