Eric Schwerin became one of Hunter Biden’s closest friends, business associates, and an emotional “pillar” to the president’s troubled second son over a 20-year relationship that transformed the enigmatic moneyman into a D.C. power player.
Hunter Biden and Schwerin likely first met when they worked in President Bill Clinton’s Commerce Department. Emails from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop show Eric Schwerin moving money on behalf of father and son.“I worked with him in the Department of Commerce and I always found him to be a good and decent guy. A nice pleasant guy,” one former colleague told The Post of Schwerin.
Schwerin visited the residence at least 13 times during Joe Biden’s vice presidency, mostly for official parties and receptions. Emails from Hunter Biden’s abandoned hard drive show Schwerin moving money on behalf of father and son and helping Hunter Biden handle family expenses. Schwerin received Joe Biden’swhile he was vice president and the two talked by phone about the Joe Biden’s mortgage.
