In a stunning revelation that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, the White House has cited executive privilege to withhold hundreds of emails related to Hunter Biden’s dubious business dealings and his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, requesting them. These emails, which were obtained by America First Legal (AFL) through records requests, shed light on the close ties between Hunter Biden’s consulting firm, Rosemont Seneca, and the Office of the Vice President. Despite Joe Biden’s previous claims of maintaining an “absolute wall” between personal and government affairs, these emails paint a different picture altogether.
The Withheld Emails
AFL recently released three batches of emails provided by the National Archives in response to their records request. These emails, totaling over 1,000, reveal a disturbing web of connections and questionable activities involving Hunter Biden and the highest levels of government. However, among the trove of emails, the White House invoked executive privilege to withhold 200 of them in their entirety. According to letters from the National Archives, these emails contain “confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors.”
This assertion of executive privilege raises serious concerns about transparency and accountability within the Biden administration. It is clear that the White House is actively suppressing information that could potentially expose the extent of Hunter Biden’s involvement in his father’s government affairs.

Joe Biden’s Denials
Joe Biden has repeatedly denied any knowledge or involvement in his son’s business dealings. He has adamantly stated that he never discussed these matters with Hunter or anyone else. However, the obtained emails tell a different story. They reveal that Hunter Biden was not only involved in his father’s government affairs but also played a role in planning White House events, including the January 2011 China State Luncheon.
The China State Luncheon Connection
Email messages referencing “Rosemont Seneca” provide evidence of Hunter Biden’s involvement in the planning of the China State Luncheon. These messages include guest lists for the event held on January 19, 2011. This revelation raises questions about the nature of Hunter Biden’s relationship with Chinese officials and the potential conflicts of interest that may have arisen from his involvement in such high-level diplomatic engagements.
Devin Archer’s Testimony
Adding further weight to the mounting evidence against the Biden administration, Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Devin Archer, testified before the House Oversight Committee. Archer revealed that he had personally witnessed Hunter discussing his business deals with his father on more than 20 occasions. This testimony directly contradicts Biden’s claims of ignorance regarding his son’s activities.
The Broken Promise of Transparency
Joe Biden’s promise of an “absolute wall” between personal and government affairs has proven to be nothing more than empty rhetoric. The invocation of executive privilege to withhold crucial emails reveals a deliberate attempt by the White House to shield the truth from the American people. The lack of transparency and accountability within the Biden administration is deeply troubling and raises serious concerns about the integrity of our government.
The Need for Investigation
Given the substantial evidence presented in the released emails, it is imperative that a thorough investigation be conducted into Hunter Biden’s business dealings and his father’s involvement. The American people deserve to know the truth about any potential conflicts of interest and whether the Biden administration has been compromised by personal gain.
