It’s unclear why neither Baturina or Yevtushenkov have faced US sanctions, despite their qualifications superficially resembling other Russian oligarchs who have been targeted.

Baturina transferred $3.5 million on Feb. 14, 2014, to the corporate entity Rosemont Seneca Thornton. The House Oversight Committee said this week that bank records show that most of that sum was latercalled Rosemont Seneca Bohai, in which Hunter Biden held a 50% stake.

Archer also told the panel that Joe Biden, while vice president, attended a spring 2014 dinner at DC’s Café Milano with Baturina and a group of his son’s Kazakhstani business associates, one of whom, Kenes Rakishev, had wired $142,3000 on April 22, 2014, for Hunter to buy a luxury car. Emails from 2015 discuss Baturina as an invitee and a different attendee of that dinner told The Post he saw her there.

At the time, the US Justice Department was investigating Yevtushenkov’s cellphone company MTS for purportedly paying nearly $1 billion in bribes to Uzbekistani officials from 2004 to 2012. MTS ultimately settled the case with the Trump Justice Department in 2019 and agreed to pay an Yevtushenkov met with Hunter to discuss real estate in March 2012 in New York City and January 2013 in Washington, according to documents from the first son’s former laptop.

House Oversight GOP Claims No Direct Payments Needed to Prove Corruption in Hunter Biden Business DealingsHouse Oversight Republicans assert that they do not need to find direct payments to President Joe Biden to prove corruption in Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings. This shift in strategy aims to investigate the president, as outlined in a memo released by the committee. The Republicans argue that the defense of President Biden's supporters, claiming direct payments are necessary to prove corruption, is weak and would not be applicable to any other American whose family members accepted foreign payments or bribes.
