Hunter Biden Wanted to Sell Land Around U.S. Embassy in Romania

Hunter Biden Wanted to Sell Land Around U.S. Embassy in Romania

Isn’t it so weird how more of these Hunter Biden stories have emerged since former President Joe Biden left office?

Kenneth Vogel of The New York Times wrote about the latest scandal involving a plot to sell land around the US embassy in Romania.

I wonder how long Vogel had this information because he has a book coming out titled Devils’ Advocates; The Hidden Story of Rudy Giuliani, Hunter Biden, and the Washington Insiders on the Payrolls of Corrupt Foreign Interests.

Weird, right?

Apparently, Hunter, while his father served as vice president, wanted to sell land around the US embassy in Romania.

The prospective group included a Chinese company…CEFC.

Yes, the same CEFC mentioned in the documents released since 2020 due to Hunter’s laptop.

Here’s the main one I wrote about: ‘Bidens are the Best’: Hunter Demanded $10M From Chinese Energy Company, Bragged About Connections

Here are more:

• Report: FBI Mole Known as ‘One-Eye’ Would Tip Off Hunter About Any China Probes
• Report: Hunter Biden, Associates Wanted to Bring in Gov. Cuomo, Sen. Schumer for Chinese Deals
• Hunter Biden Text Messages: Chinese ‘Coming to be MY Partner, to be Partners With the Bidens’
• Hunter Biden Associates Secured White House Meeting for Elite Group of Chinese Communist Party Members
• Hunter Biden Pursued ‘Lasting and Lucrative’ Deals With Chinese Private Energy
• Hunter Biden’s Lawyer Tries to Explain Why Joe Biden’s Delaware Address was Used for Payments From Chinese Nationals

“Previously unreported details exemplify how Mr. Biden’s pursuit of lucrative foreign deals fit into the broader foreign influence industry and complicated U.S. diplomacy,” wrote Vogel.

Maybe, just maybe, after all the stories about Hunter and China coming out, starting with his laptop in October 2020, these reporters who have more access than someone like me should have done more digging? Just saying.

Vogel even mentioned those scandals before noting that “the Romania effort remains relatively unknown.”

I’m pretty sure someone like Vogel could have discovered it:

This account of the Romania proposal is derived from hundreds of pages of business documents, letters, emails and text messages obtained via public records requests, provided to congressional and executive branch investigators or retrieved from a cache of files linked to Mr. Biden’s abandoned laptop, as well as interviews and testimony transcripts.

It gets better. Vogel excused Hunter’s actions for all his scandals and addiction because of the death of his brother, Beau.

ANYWAY! The Romanian land deal would have given the Chinese ownership of land right by a US embassy.

The Chinese could have possibly even owned the land that houses the US embassy.

Do not forget that this all started when Biden served as Obama’s vice president.

And yes, Joe’s brother James pops up in this story:

One was as a businessman. He and his partners, including his father’s younger brother James Biden, were stakeholders in a venture that was to co-own developed properties and vacant land around the embassy in Bucharest. Joining them was the wealthy Romanian who had developed the area and an influential Chinese state-linked company, which Hunter Biden was courting.

The other role was as legal counsel. While these negotiations were going on, Mr. Biden was separately working as a lawyer and adviser for that same Romanian developer, Gabriel Popoviciu. His legal team was trying to stymie a corruption case in Romania related to the purchase of the land years earlier.

Hunter actually admitted he couldn’t stay on with Popoviciu if he remained part of the purchasing group.

No duh…you think?

Additionally, Hunter, working with Popoviciu, presented another potential conflict of interest, at least in my opinion, because Biden had been advocating for Romania to address its corruption.

Well, they all thought the land deal could bring Romania to the table and settle the case concerning Popoviciu if he reduced his ownership of the land:

The thinking was that the Romanians might be more willing to consider settling their case against Mr. Popoviciu if he reduced his ownership share of the land and allowed the government to collect revenue from the arrangement after CEFC’s investment, which was to be $300 million to $500 million, according to a term sheet.

Documents detail varying structures of the deal, but all of the iterations indicate that CEFC would own a significant minority of as much as 47.5 percent of the resulting joint venture, which would include both developed property and undeveloped land.

A prospectus emailed to Hunter and James Biden and others by James Gilliar, a British businessman with whom they had teamed up, elaborated on how the deal could further sweeten the pot for the Romanians to “facilitate this resolution.” It envisioned allowing the Romanian government to retain a 10 percent stake in the project that would provide “steady annual income for long term for the state budget.”

Put another way: The Romanian government could reap financial benefit if the case was dropped and the deal went through.

The land proposed deal ended in 2017 due to a fight among the group for control.

No, I am not happy that all these stories have come out after Biden won in 2020 and left office in 2025.

If Hunter sitting on the Burisma board didn’t raise concerns about the corruption in the Biden family, then nothing else would.
