Because these photos of Joe Biden have leaked and everything we thought we knew about him is out the window.
Photos of Joe Biden’s Involvement in Hunter’s Business Dealings Spark Controversy Amid Impeachment Inquiry
A conservative legal firm has recently released photographs of then-Vice President Joe Biden during a 2013 trip across Asia. These images appear to show Biden meeting with his son Hunter’s business associates, as well as introducing Hunter to Chinese President Xi Jinping. The photos are raising new questions about Biden’s involvement in his son’s foreign business dealings.
The photos, obtained by America First Legal, show Joe Biden meeting with Jonathan Li and Ming Xue, two executives from BHR Capital, a private equity firm that Hunter Biden played a role in establishing in 2014. The firm, which was reportedly backed by Chinese investment, has been central to the growing scrutiny of Hunter Biden’s financial activities. The House GOP’s impeachment inquiry into President Biden’s dealings references these individuals, who were key partners in Hunter Biden’s business ventures in China.
The images also suggest that Joe Biden introduced Hunter to Xi Jinping and Li Yuanchao, the then Chinese Vice President, during a stop in Beijing. These revelations are the latest development in an ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s business interactions with foreign entities while his father was serving as vice president of the United States.
The newly released photographs appear to corroborate the House Oversight Committee’s findings, which claim that Hunter Biden facilitated meetings between his father and his business partners during the Asia trip. The House GOP’s impeachment inquiry report further suggests that Jonathan Li actively sought and obtained preferential access to Vice President Biden’s political influence. This included securing favorable meetings with high-ranking figures, such as then-U.S. Ambassador to China Max Baucus.

America First Legal, the conservative legal group that filed the lawsuit to obtain the photos, has been at the forefront of investigating Biden’s involvement in Hunter Biden’s financial dealings. The firm’s president, Michael Ding, criticized the Biden administration for its handling of the matter, saying, “Even while President Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter, for anything and everything ‘he has committed or may have committed or taken part in’ going all the way back to the year 2014, more evidence comes out each day showing how his family leveraged Joe Biden’s even longer career in public office for private gain.”
The images were released after a lengthy legal battle with the National Archives, which had delayed the publication of Obama-era records. Initially, the photos were set to be made public in October, but the release was postponed until after the 2024 election season.
Hunter Biden’s Business Ties Under Scrutiny
The release of the photos comes on the heels of a significant legal development: On December 1, 2024, President Biden granted his son, Hunter Biden, a sweeping pardon for all crimes he “may have committed or taken part in” between January 2014 and the date of the pardon. This move came just before Hunter Biden was set to be sentenced for federal gun and tax crimes.
Meanwhile, the GOP’s impeachment inquiry has uncovered evidence of substantial foreign payments to Hunter Biden and his business partners — totaling $27 million between 2014 and 2019. This figure has raised alarms about the potential for conflicts of interest and unethical behavior during Joe Biden’s vice presidency.
Despite these allegations, Joe Biden and the White House have steadfastly denied any involvement in his son’s business dealings. They have routinely dismissed the impeachment inquiry as politically motivated. Hunter Biden himself has testified before Congress, insisting that his business ventures, including those in China, were legitimate and that his father had no part in them. He has repeatedly claimed that his relationship with Li was focused solely on facilitating cross-border investments and that Joe Biden’s interactions with business partners were not inappropriate.
However, Hunter Biden’s testimony has been contradicted by a growing body of evidence. Emails from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop and testimony from former business associates suggest otherwise. In particular, it has been revealed that Joe Biden later wrote college recommendation letters for the children of Jonathan Li, a detail that raises further questions about the nature of his relationship with his son’s business partners.

Hunter Biden’s Financial Dealings and the BHR Investment
Hunter Biden’s financial dealings with BHR Capital have become a major focus of the investigation. While Joe Biden was vice president, Hunter Biden served on BHR’s board, alongside his business partner Devon Archer. Hunter Biden stepped down from his position at the firm after his father announced his candidacy for president in 2019.
One of the most significant revelations about Hunter Biden’s business activities is a 2019 transaction in which Jonathan Li wired Hunter Biden $250,000 from Beijing, with Joe Biden’s Delaware home listed as the beneficiary. Hunter Biden later testified that the payment was a loan and that he eventually sold his equity stake in BHR. However, his financial ties to the company continued to raise questions, especially after Kevin Morris, a close friend and financial patron of Hunter Biden, purchased 10 percent of BHR in 2021 through his holding company, Skaneateles.
Further investigation has revealed that Hunter Biden played a direct role in managing the financial accounts of his business ventures, including Rosemont Seneca Bohai, which he co-managed with Archer. Despite Hunter Biden’s denials, records suggest he held the position of acting corporate secretary for Rosemont Seneca Bohai in 2014.
IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler provided testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee, showing documents that appear to contradict Hunter Biden’s previous statements about his involvement in these financial dealings. This has only intensified the calls for further scrutiny into Hunter Biden’s business activities and his father’s possible connections to them.
The controversy surrounding Joe Biden’s potential involvement in his son’s foreign business dealings continues to grow. The release of photos showing him meeting with Hunter Biden’s Chinese business partners and introducing him to top Chinese officials adds new weight to the ongoing impeachment inquiry. As more information comes to light, the political ramifications of these revelations are likely to intensify, especially in the lead-up to the 2024 election.
While Joe Biden and his administration continue to deny any wrongdoing, the increasing volume of evidence suggesting potential conflicts of interest raises serious questions about the ethical implications of the Biden family’s business dealings abroad.
