The Biden family is out of the mainstream media. But they aren’t out of the woods.
Because the entire Biden family was just implicated in a terrible treasonous crime in this unearthed letter.
Biden Family Scandal: Most Americans Demand Justice for Alleged Corruption
The stench of corruption surrounding the Biden family grows stronger with each new revelation, and Americans are fed up. A recently uncovered letter from 2016 reveals Hunter Biden’s brazen attempt to leverage his father’s position as vice president to benefit Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company that paid him handsomely despite his lack of qualifications. This isn’t just a story of a wayward son—it’s a damning indictment of a family that many believe has been fleecing the American public for years, and the call for criminal consequences is louder than ever.
In the letter, written on Burisma letterhead, Hunter Biden directly appealed to John R. Phillips, the U.S. ambassador to Italy at the time, for assistance in securing meetings with Italian officials. The goal? To smooth over regulatory hurdles for Burisma’s geothermal energy projects in Italy. “Burisma is currently experiencing certain difficulties obtaining authorizations that are issued by regional authorities. I would like to take this opportunity to ask for your support and guidance in arranging a meeting for representatives from Burisma with the President of Tuscany Region, Mr. Enrico Rossi,” Hunter wrote in June 2016. The audacity of using his father’s influence to grease the wheels for a foreign company is staggering, yet it’s only one piece of a much larger puzzle.
The ambassador’s response was cautious but compliant. Phillips claimed he didn’t recall the specific letter but admitted he referred the matter to a Commerce Department official. Some embassy staff reportedly felt uneasy about Hunter’s request, sensing the ethical quagmire it represented. After all, Joe Biden was vice president, tasked with shaping U.S. policy in Ukraine, where Burisma operated. The overlap between Hunter’s business dealings and his father’s official duties raised red flags, even among Obama administration insiders who worried about conflicts of interest.
Hunter’s camp has tried to downplay the letter, framing it as routine. A representative insisted Hunter “was truly grateful for the kindness he and his family had been shown,” citing a 2015 family trip to Rome where he met Phillips as evidence of “heartfelt appreciation for courtesy and comfort.” His attorney went further, calling the 2016 letter a “proper request, which was no different than hundreds of similar requests for introductions that businesses make to ambassadors every year.” But Americans aren’t buying it. To many, this looks like influence peddling, plain and simple—a son cashing in on his father’s power.
What makes this even more infuriating is the money involved. Burisma paid Hunter Biden roughly $80,000 a month while Joe Biden was vice president, despite Hunter having zero experience in the energy sector. That gravy train slowed to a trickle in March 2017, just after Donald Trump took office, suggesting Burisma’s interest in Hunter was tied directly to his father’s influence. The fact that Joe Biden was spearheading anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine at the time only adds to the hypocrisy. How could the vice president push for integrity abroad while his son raked in millions from a company mired in controversy?
The White House has claimed Joe Biden was oblivious to his son’s dealings. A spokesperson told The New York Times in mid-2024 that the then-vice president had no idea Hunter had reached out to the ambassador. But this strains credulity for many Americans, who see a pattern of willful ignorance—or worse, complicity. The Burisma projects Hunter pushed for in Italy never came to fruition, but the intent was clear: use the Biden name to open doors and line pockets. For a family that’s long portrayed itself as blue-collar and relatable, these revelations paint a very different picture.
House Republicans spent years digging into the Biden family’s financial dealings, and what they found only fueled public outrage. Their investigation showed that Hunter, his business associates, and other Biden family members collectively hauled in millions from foreign entities in Ukraine, China, and Romania during Joe Biden’s vice presidency and beyond. The timing is impossible to ignore—much of this cash flow coincided with Joe’s tenure as a key player in U.S. foreign policy. To many, it’s not just a coincidence; it’s a scheme that demands accountability.
Then came the pardons. In the waning days of his presidency, Joe Biden issued a blanket pardon for Hunter, covering federal gun and tax convictions and any potential crimes dating back to 2014—coincidentally, the year Hunter joined Burisma. Despite months of White House denials that a pardon was coming, Joe followed through, and then some, extending similar protections to other family members just before Trump’s second inauguration in January 2025. For Americans who’ve watched this saga unfold, it’s the ultimate middle finger—a clear signal that the Bidens believe they’re above the law.
The public’s anger isn’t just about Hunter’s actions; it’s about the entire Biden family’s apparent sense of entitlement. From lucrative board seats to shady foreign deals, the pattern is unmistakable. Many Americans feel betrayed by a president who campaigned on restoring trust in government but seemed to prioritize shielding his family over serving the nation. The pardons, in particular, have galvanized calls for justice, with polls showing a majority now believe the Bidens should face criminal consequences for what they see as systemic corruption.
The evidence keeps piling up, and the court of public opinion has already rendered its verdict. Social media platforms like X are ablaze with demands for investigations, prosecutions, and even prison time for those involved. Users point to the Burisma letter as just one example of a broader web of influence peddling that spans continents and decades. The sentiment is clear: no one, not even a former first family, should be untouchable when it comes to the law.
PARDON? In 2016, Hunter Biden penned a letter to the US Ambassador to Italy thanking him for his hospitality, just after the VP and his family stayed at the ambassador’s residence. In the same note, Hunter sought additional “support and guidance” for his employer, Burisma. Cozy… pic.twitter.com/mLLooUrnNO

For now, the Biden family remains out of power, but the calls for accountability aren’t fading. Americans want answers—not just about Burisma, but about every deal, every dollar, and every favor tied to the Biden name. The 2016 letter is a smoking gun, but it’s only one piece of a much larger scandal that many believe reaches the highest levels of government. As new details emerge, the pressure for criminal consequences will only grow.
The question isn’t whether the Bidens crossed ethical lines; to most Americans, that’s a given. The real question is whether the justice system will finally hold them accountable—or whether their wealth and connections will shield them once again. For a nation tired of double standards, the answer could define the future of political integrity in Washington.
Obviously the pardon that Hunter Biden’s father gave to his own son complicates the matter. The pardon, similar to what former President Joe gave to his other pardon recipients, was very broad and it could be difficult for Hunter Biden to face any consequences for any of his actions from the last fifteen years.
