Two new reports that were published late this week raised more questions about the role that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden played in his son’s business dealings while he was vice president and while he was a U.S. Senator.
NBC News reported on Thursday that Biden’s son, Hunter, traveled to Romania during the final year of the Obama administration to meet with a wealthy businessman who was accused of corruption:
The businessman was Gabriel “Puiu” Popoviciu, a wealthy Romanian real estate tycoon. The lawyer brought in to advise him was Hunter Biden, the son of then-Vice President Joe Biden, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Hunter Biden’s work for Popoviciu in 2016 went unreported at the time, but Joe Biden’s involvement in Romania was very much public. The vice president was among the leading voices pushing the government to crack down on corruption.
Government ethics experts told NBC News that they believe that the arrangement raises questions about whether Hunter Biden was brought in to help Popoviciu avoid criminal prosecution.
