Most of the emails reportedly occurred leading up to and following Hunter Biden being named to Ukrainian energy company Burisma’s board.
Newly released records from House Republicans have revealed that Joe Biden exchanged emails with a business associate of son Hunter Biden 54 times while he served as vice president.
According to NBC News, the records described the dates of the emails as well as who exchanged them, but do not reveal the content of the messages.
Then-Vice President Biden reportedly emailed Eric Schwerin five times before Biden took a trip to Ukraine on June 7, 2014, and 27 emails were sent between the end of June to November 21, 2014, when Biden traveled to Ukraine once again.
Most of the emails reportedly occurred leading up to and following Hunter Biden being named to Ukrainian energy company Burisma’s board.
A White House spokesperson declined to comment on the matter to NBC, but noted statements by House Democrats that Schwerin had worked as Joe Biden’s financial advisor between 2009 and 2017.
According to a Fox News report from August, Schwerin reportedly visited the White House and vice presidential residence at least 36 times while Biden was vice president.
Hunter’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle, said that Schwerin "managed almost every aspect of our financial life." Schwerin has served as president of Rosemont Seneca Advisors, a company co-founded by Hunter Biden.
In a February 2014 email, Hunter Biden said that Schwerin was a "close confidant and counsel to his father.
