(NRCC News) – The corruption within Joe Biden’s regime and family is blatant. Democrats have been happy to turn and look the other way for their advantage but it’s long been too much to ignore, at least for any decent person.
Fox News Digital has now revealed that the incoming White House chief of staff met with Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, multiple times in 2016. Surely there’s nothing to see here!
Fox News Digital obtained emails confirming the meetings between Jeff Zients and Hunter Biden from the notorious laptop abandoned by the younger Biden, who is now facing a litany of criminal and congressional investigations into his past business dealings.
The emails show Hunter and Zients met twice in February of 2016 and once in May of 2016, just months before Joe Biden was set to vacate the office of the vice presidency. Joe Biden also attended the first two meetings at the US Naval Observatory, which serves as the residence for the vice president.

Jeff Zients, the incoming White House chief of staff, met multiple times in 2016 with President Biden’s son Hunter Biden who is facing criminal and congressional probes into his past business dealings.
Fox News Digital reports:
“During the first meeting — which took place on Feb. 12, 2016 — Zients, Hunter Biden, then-Vice President Biden met with David Rubenstein, a billionaire and founder of hundred-billion-dollar asset management firm The Carlye Group. Rubenstein is also the member of a series of other organizations including the World Economic Forum, Council on Foreign Relations and Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.”
Joe Biden has been criticized for vacationing at Rubenstein’s mansion in Nantucket, Massachusetts, over the past several years. Biden spent Thanksgiving there in 2021 and at that time the White House asserted he had previously visited the home.
Fox News Digital:
“Two weeks after the first meeting, Zients, Hunter Biden and then-Vice President Biden met with former lobbyist and current White House senior counselor Steve Ricchetti and David Bradley, a Washington, D.C.-based political consultant and chairman of media group Atlantic Media.
Then, on May 24, 2016, Zients, Hunter Biden and Bradley met with Eric Lander, the recently-ousted director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Richard Klausner, the former head of the National Cancer Institute and a major biotech investor. Klausner was also previously the executive director for global health at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Additionally, Anne Marie Muldoon, who was an assistant for then-Vice President Biden between 2014-2017, sent Hunter Biden an invitation to attend a potential fourth meeting with his father, Zients, Bradley and Lander at the Naval Observatory on July 12, 2016. While it is unclear whether Hunter Biden joined the meeting, Muldoon sent him a copy of the meeting agenda after it took place.”
It should come as no surprise that Zients, Bradley and Lander all served on the board of directors for the Biden Center Initiative, a non-profit venture Joe and Jill Biden launched in June 2017. The discussions during the 2016 meetings with Hunter Biden is not known but it is curious why Hunter would be involved in talks regarding the Initiative which he doesn’t seem to be a part of.
The current White House chief of staff, Ron Klain, is expected to step down and be replaced by Zients, who led the federal government’s COVID response between early 2021 and April 2022.
“Jeff spent the last 14 months working tirelessly to help combat COVID,” Biden noted in a statement in March after Zients announced he would step down from the role. “He is a man of service and an expert manager. I will miss his counsel and I’m grateful for his service.”
Zients is now connected to Hunter Biden who is under scrutiny by Republicans over his past business dealings for allegedly using his father’s position for financial gain. Joe Biden has also been implicated in these foreign business deals as a financial beneficiary.
“The American people deserve transparency and accountability about the Biden family’s influence peddling,” House Oversight and Reform Chairman James Comer said in a statement late last year. “With the new Republican majority, Oversight Committee Republicans will continue pressing for answers to inform legislative solutions to prevent this abuse of power.”
House Republicans need to do more than just create legislation to prevent future abuse of power. It’s time for Joe and Hunter Biden to be held accountable along with anyone else who was involved in their nefarious schemes that sold out the US to foreign powers.
