A conservative legal firm has obtained photos of then–vice president Joe Biden meeting his son Hunter’s business partners and introducing Hunter to Chinese strongman Xi Jinping during a 2013 trip across Asia.

The photos appear to show Joe Biden meeting with his son’s Chinese business partners Jonathan Li and and Ming Xue, both of whom were executives at BHR capital, a private equity firm that Hunter Biden had a financial stake in starting in 2014, according to the House GOP’s report on its impeachment inquiry into President Biden.

Joe Biden also introduced Hunter to Xi and Chinese vice president Li Yuanchao during a stop Beijing, the photos indicate.

The newly released photos appear to corroborate the House Oversight Committee’s findings that Hunter Biden arranged for his father to meet with his business partners during the Asia trip, according to America First Legal.

“Mr. Li sought — and received — access to Vice President Biden’s political power, including, for example, preferential access to then–U.S. Ambassador to China Max Baucus,” the impeachment inquiry report reads.

America First Legal released the photos on Monday after extensive litigation against the National Archives for the Obama administration records. Lawyers for Biden and former president Barack Obama successfully delayed the release of the photos until after Election Day. They were originally set to become public in October.

“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,” America First Legal counsel Michael Ding said in a prepared statement.

Joe Biden pardoned Hunter on December 1 for all crimes he “may have committed or taken part in” from January 2014 until the date of the pardon. The sweeping pardon happened just before Hunter Biden was set to be sentenced for federal gun and tax crimes.

The GOP’s impeachment inquiry discovered $27 million in payments from foreign sources to Hunter Biden and his business partners from 2014 to 2019. It also brought to light Joe Biden’s interactions with his son’s business partners during and after his vice presidency.

Joe Biden and the White House have steadfastly denied that he was involved in his son’s business dealings and routinely dismissed the impeachment inquiry.

Hunter Biden previously testified to congressional lawmakers about traveling to China on Air Force Two and introducing Joe Biden to Li during the trip. He said the purpose of the BHR was to facilitate cross-border investments.

At the time of the trip, Hunter Biden insisted he had not gotten into business with Li yet. He further insisted that his father was not a participant in his business dealings and that Joe Biden’s communications with his business partners were not nefarious.

Joe Biden later wrote college recommendation letters for Li’s son and daughter, according to emails on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop archive and testimony from former business partner Devon Archer. Hunter Biden and Archer were BHR board members from 2014 to 2019, with Hunter stepping down from the company after his father’s presidential campaign announcement.

In summer 2019, Li wired Hunter Biden $250,000 that originated in Beijing and had Joe Biden’s Delaware home as the beneficiary address. Biden testified that the $250,000 payment was a loan and that he later sold his BHR equity stake.

His friend and financial patron Kevin Morris purchased 10 percent of BHR from Hunter Biden in 2021 through his holding company Skaneateles, Morris testified in January. Four years earlier, at the end of Joe Biden’s vice presidency, Hunter Biden transferred that 10 percent stake from business account Rosemont Seneca Bohai into the Skaneateles account.

Hunter Biden and Archer ran the Rosemont Seneca Bohai account, for which he was the “acting corporate secretary” in 2014, records show. When he testified, Hunter Biden denied having any role in the company, a statement contradicted by documents that IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler provided to the House Ways and Means Committee.
