Around the time he attended another one in spring 2014, his son received large payments from two of the foreign attendees.The dinners, both the subject of extensive media coverage since 2020 thanks to emails from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, represent some of the most compelling pieces of evidence to date that suggest Joe Biden was more deeply involved in his son’s business dealings than he has publicly admitted.
Ahead of the first dinner, which came in spring 2014, Hunter Biden and his business partners were discussing the prospect of convening wealthy oligarchs from around the world for gatherings in order to form a lucrative “global cooperation group.” In March 2014, Archer told the group that they should find “some type of hook for the events” to draw wealthy foreigners to the gatherings, such as “an appearance from the political, literary or entertainment side.”
Hunter Biden and Archer appeared to recognize immediately the significance Joe Biden’s comments would have to their business partners at Burisma, a Ukrainian gas producer. Archer wrote to Hunter Biden that evening, in response to Hunter Biden’s mention of the comments, that “we need to make sure this rag tag temporary Government in the Ukraine understands the value of Burisma to its very existence.
Karim Massimov, then the prime minister of Kazakhstan, also attended the spring 2014 dinner, as did Yelena Baturina, a Russian oligarch who, according to emails, was a primary financial backer of real estate deals Archer was spearheading at the time. However, the type of international business cooperation Hunter Biden and Archer sought to generate with the first dinner appeared to continue into the following year.
Like with the first dinner, the full guest list and the specific purpose of the April 16, 2015 dinner, also at Cafe Milano, are not yet known. After other attendees later confirmed that Joe Biden did indeed attend, an anonymous White House aide admitted to the fact-checker that Joe Biden had gone to the dinner but that the decision to do so was made earlier in the day on April 16. The spontaneous choice to drop by, not an attempt to conceal the event, was why the dinner did not appear on the then-vice president’s schedule, the aide claimed.
