Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York says one photo from 2015 makes President Joe Bidenās claims that he did not know about his sonās business activities ring hollow.
Biden has long insisted that he was not involved in Hunter Bidenās business dealings. Devon Archer, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, recently testified that Joe Bidenmet with his sonās business associates and that Hunter Biden put his father on the phone during business meetings.
Stefanik, the House Republican Conference chair, said a ādamning pictureā shows Biden, who was vice president at the time, with an adviser who had links to Hunter Bidenās businesses, according to Fox News.
The photo from Bidenās 2015 trip to Ukraine shows him with Amos Hochstein, currently Bidenās special presidential coordinator.
According to Stefanik, Hochstein was communicating with Hunter Biden during that time period while Hunter Biden was on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.
āThis damning picture of then Vice President Joe Biden on Air Force Two en route to Ukraine talking withĀ Amos HochsteinĀ is just further evidence that Biden and senior officials in the Biden administration not only knew of Hunter Bidenās corrupt foreign business dealings, but also that Joe Biden was intimately involved while Vice President,ā Stefanik said.
āAt the time of this photo, Hochstein was in communication with Hunter Biden and Burisma where Hunter served on the board.ā
Stefanik said connecting the dots paints a troubling image.
āWe also know that this photo was taken on Air Force Two ahead of Joe Bidenās now infamous meeting with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, where Biden threatened to have aid withheld if a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Burisma was not fired,ā she said.

āAll evidence points directly to Joe Biden being deeply compromised. House Republicans will leave no stone unturned in our investigations into Bidenās involvement in his familyās influence peddling scheme.ā
Hochstein was a special envoy and coordinator for international energy affairs in the Obama Administration. He became Bidenās special coordinator for global infrastructure and energy security in August 2021 prior to assuming his current role as special presidential coordinator.
A recently unveiled FBI form documents allegations that Joe and Hunter Biden each took a $5 million bribe from Burisma executives in exchange for ensuring the firing of Viktor Shokin, the prosecutor investigating the company.
