Redacted emails from then-Vice President Joe Biden’s office suggest a close Biden family associate, who went on to work under Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, was involved in conversations about how to shape stories related to Hunter Biden’s work for Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
Alexander Mackler was a legal counsel to Joe Biden at the time. He later spent years working in the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office, including during the first few months of the Hunter Biden criminal investigation.In one Dec. 8, 2015, email released recently by the National Archives and Records Administration, Mackler and Joe Biden’s then-Communications Director Kate Bedingfield appeared to discuss a story published that day in the New York Times about Hunter Biden’s role at Burisma.
However, at least some of the messages do show close coordination between Joe Biden’s political aides and Hunter Biden’s business. Private emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop show that Schwerin was coordinating with a Burisma executive, Hunter Biden, and their other business partner, Devon Archer, at the same time he was working out a response with Joe Biden’s office.
The criminal investigation, which began at the IRS in 2018 and was under Weiss’s supervision by at least January 2019, examined the details of how Hunter Biden and his business partners earned millions of dollars from Burisma starting in 2014 and what they did with the money. In December 2015, Joe Biden was heading to Ukraine for high-profile meetings with Ukrainian leaders. He delivered a speech in Kyiv in which he called for Ukraine to do more to fight corruption, and some of the press coverage surrounding his visit focused on how Hunter Biden’s position on the Burisma board undercut Joe Biden’s credibility on the subject.
