A federal appeals court in New York has upheld the bribery conviction of Patrick Ho, a Chinese businessman and the former head of a think tank funded by a Chinese energy conglomerate with links to Hunter Biden, son of former Vice President Joe Biden.
A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan, New York, found Ho was properly convicted by a federal jury in December 2018 of paying bribes to the presidents of Chad and Uganda in a United Nations-linked conspiracy, according to a court filing (pdf).
