/1🚨 BREAKING 🚨

AFL has obtained new photos of Joe Biden meeting with Hunter Biden’s Chinese business associates and introducing Hunter to China’s President Xi Jinping.

/2 These photos shed light on the connections between then-Vice President Biden, Hunter and his Chinese business associates, and Chinese government officials, including President Xi Jinping.

/3 AFL obtained the photos through our lawsuit against the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), which was filed on September 8, 2022.

/4 Following the Presidential Records Act, NARA had planned to release these photographs on October 23, 2024 — thirteen days before Election Day.

/5 Lawyers and representatives for President Biden and President Obama delayed NARA’s release of these photos — as they did with other critical records — until after Election Day.

/6 In 2013, then-Vice President Biden went on an official trip across Asia, including a stop in Beijing, China. In these newly-released photographs, Joe Biden appears to introduce his son, Hunter, to President Xi Jinping of the People’s Republic of China.

/7 Joe Biden also appeared to introduce Hunter to China’s then-Vice President Li Yuanchao.

/8 While they were in China, Joe Biden appeared to make time to meet with Hunter’s business associates at BHR Partners, including its CEO, Jonathan Li.

/9 Joe Biden also appeared to meet with the Director and Managing Partner of BHR Partners, Ming Xue.

/10 These photos corroborate the House Oversight Committee’s investigative findings that Hunter Biden arranged for his father to meet with Jonathan Li and other BHR executives during the 2013 China trip, where “Mr. Li sought—and received—access to Vice President Biden’s political power, including, for example, preferential access to then-U.S. Ambassador to China Max Baucus … a condition of Hunter Biden and his associates participating in the BHR deal.”

/11 AFL’s investigation previously uncovered other evidence showing Hunter’s special access to then-U.S. Ambassador Baucus.

/12 As Vice President, Joe Biden also wrote letters of recommendation for Jonathan Li’s son and daughter, according to testimony from Hunter’s former business partner, Devon Archer, and emails found on Hunter Biden’s laptop.

/13 According to the Committee’s investigation, the Biden Family benefitted from their business dealings with BHR.

/14 Even so, the Biden-Harris Administration is preventing the release of 182 of the 313 photographs that NARA processed.

/15 AFL will keep fighting for the release of these unlawfully withheld records.
