The correspondence shows a lawyer for Hunter’s then-wife, Kathleen Buhle, demanding information about the gem in an e-mail with the subject line “Biden Urgent” and an importance level of “High.”
“Hunter is in possession of a large and extremely valuable diamond,” lawyer Rebekah Sullivan wrote on Feb. 17, 2017.
“Please provide proof that the diamond has been placed in a safety deposit box – accessible only by both parties together – by noon tomorrow or we will have no choice but to ask the court, on an emergency basis, to enjoin his further dissipation of assets, including the diamond.”
Biden’s lawyer, Sarah Mancinelli, forwarded the e-mail to him, along with a note saying, “Can you tell me what this about and allow me to reassure them there is no issue here?”
In a second e-mail chain, Mancinelli forwarded a follow-up message in which Buhle’s lawyer demanded a “complete explanation, as soon as possible” regarding the diamond’s whereabouts.
“I don’t know what else to tell them. If you can craft a couple of sentences for me to send her, I would appreciate it,” Sullivan wrote.
It’s unclear how Biden responded.
The gem at issue appears to be a 2.8-carat jewel that Biden told The New Yorker he got from Ye Jianming, then the chairman of CEFC China Energy Co., following an introductory dinner meeting in Miami amid Biden’s divorce.
In court papers, Buhle estimated the diamond was worth $80,000, while Biden put its value closer to $10,000, according to The New Yorker.
Biden claimed he gave the diamond to two unidentified associates who also attended the dinner meeting, saying “I knew it wasn’t a good idea to take it. I just felt like it was weird.”
Biden also said he didn’t believe it was intended as a bribe because his father, former VP Joe Biden, “wasn’t in office” anymore.
Hunter subsequently struck a series of business deals with Ye and his associates, including a three-year consulting contract worth $10 million a year, according to Biden’s e-mails and other documents.

The report from Republicans on the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee says that officials at the GSA contacted the FBI on Feb. 15, 2017 to inquire whether they should preserve documents related to Michael Flynn.
The FBI accepted the offer from GSA, according to the Senate report.
Republicans say GSA violated the terms of its agreement with the Trump campaign to destroy campaign and transition records at the beginning of Donald Trump’s term.
“At bottom the GSA and the FBI undermined the transition process by preserving Trump transition team records contrary to the terms of the memorandum of understanding, hiding that fact from the Trump transition team, and refusing to provide the team with copies of its own records"
The Obama-Biden administration approved the sale of a strategically sensitive Michigan manufacturer, Henniges Automotive, to a firm connected to Hunter, & a Chinese military contractor that was on an American watch list because of its close ties to the PLA breitbart.com/politics/2020/…
Hunter Biden’s equity fund, backed by the Communist Chinese government, and the Chinese contractor, Aviation Industry Corporation, needed special approval for the deal from the Committee of Foreign Investment because Henniges produced technology with potential military use.
AVIC entities have been sanctioned by the United States on five separate occasions since 1993 and the addition to the watch list–a major red flag—occurred less than a year-and-a-half before they co-purchased Henniges with Hunter Biden’s BHR.
While Biden has his real name attached to his private account for some time, it changed around early 2016, going from “Joseph Biden” to “Peter Henderson” in Hunter’s e-mails.
It is unclear whether this change was on Hunter’s end (on his devices) or on Joe’s, but Peter Henderson’s e-mails included messages such as “Keep in touch, Love Dad” and shared links often about Hillary Clinton.
Rosemont reality an offshoot of Rosemont seneca partners was acquired by a Chinese communist party backed firm identified as a thinly veiled arm of the Chinese military by a US congressional taskforce.
In 2015, the Chinese company Gemini Investments acquired a controlling stake in Rosemont Realty, a sister company of the Rosemont Seneca firm Hunter Biden founded in 2009. The Chinese firm pledged $3 billion for “commercial office property acquisitions”
Gemini Investments is a subsidiary of the Sino-Ocean Group, which was founded as a state-owned enterprise and boasts of its President holding a high-level leadership position within the Chinese Communist Party.
Tony Bobulinski released a statement on Wednesday evening backing up the reporting of the New York Post and claims that he personally witnessed Democrat presidential nominee former Vice President Joe Biden discussing business deals with Hunter Biden
Sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News that Bobulinski is whose allegations and inside information are the centerpiece of a forthcoming investigation by the Wall Street Journal.
Bobulinski’s statement also seemingly authenticates at least one of the bombshell emails obtained by the New York Post purportedly from Hunter Biden’s laptop retrieved from a computer repair store in Delaware.
The FBI’s subpoena of a laptop and hard drive purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden came in connection with a money laundering investigation in late 2019 according to documents obtained by Fox News and verified by multiple federal law enforcement officials foxnews.com/politics/lapto…
It is unclear, at this point, whether the investigation is ongoing or if it was directly related to Hunter Biden.
Multiple federal law enforcement officials, as well as two separate government officials, confirmed the authenticity of these documents, which were signed by FBI Special Agent Joshua Wilson.
