President Joe Biden appears to have agreed in 2019 to pay for his son’s legal fees relating to dealings with a Chinese firm that has ties to the Chinese Communist Party, according to newly reported emails.

An email dated Jan. 17, 2019, with the subject line “Hunter’s bills” and greeting “Hello VP team,” shows Hunter’s then-assistant Katie Dodge telling bookkeeper Linda Shapero that Joe Biden had agreed to pay Hunter Biden’s bills incurred in 2018 and 2019, including one relating to the restructuring of one of Hunter’s business ventures. The emails were obtained by The Daily Mail and reportedly from Hunter Biden’s laptop.
