Abbe Lowell, Hunter Biden's attorney, said in a statement that in 2016, his client and others asked various people including the then-ambassador to Italy, John R.

ambassador to Italy, the report said, though the Times said the actual text of the letter was redacted. NBC News has not obtained these documents.
