Freshly leaked emails suggest that Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, stood to make tens of millions of dollars working for a Chinese energy firm, and allegedly called a deal with the firm’s chairman “interesting to me and my family.”


The emails – supposedly recovered from a laptop in a Delaware computer repair shop – were published by the New York Post on Thursday, one day after the paper published emails that appeared to show Hunter had introduced his father to a Ukrainian energy executive. Joe Biden has previously denied any involvement in his son’s foreign business dealings, and the story was touted by President Donald Trump as evidence of corruption in the Biden family.

According to the latest tranche of emails, Hunter Biden pursued an unspecified business venture in 2017 with the Shanghai-based CEFC China Energy Co, with his pay described as “850.” Additionally, Hunter would own 20 percent of the venture’s equity, and hold on to another 10 percent, “for the big guy.”


It is unknown whether “the big guy” is a reference to Joe Biden or someone else involved in the venture.


Another 2017 email apparently describes Hunter’s business relationship with Ye Jianming, CEFC’s chairman. In it, Hunter describes a three-year contract with Ye, who was to pay him $10 million per year “based on introductions alone.” The Democratic candidate’s son also describes swapping this deal out for “a much more lasting and lucrative arrangement” with the Chinese executive to create a holding company, with both men holding a 50 percent stake.


A written flowchart was also found on the laptop, illustrating the structure of a company called ‘Hudson West,’ split 50/50 between Hunter and a man referred to as “Chairman.” According to a report by Senate Republicans released last month, a company called Hudson West III opened a line of credit a month after the email.
