“My uncle will be here with his BROTHER who would like to say hello to the chairman,” Hunter wrote, referring to CEFC chairman Ye Jianming, who bought a penthouse apartment at the coveted 15 Central Park West in May that year.
The meeting appears to have gone well. Jim Biden wrote in an email to Hunter the next day, “Let’s go over the list of tasks before you go. Kevin etc. (…) Great day yesterday!! We are on the way.’
“So please give me the location and time. When Jim’s BROTHER comes he just wants to say hi, he won’t stop for lunch,” Hunter wrote back.
The texts were revealed in disclosures by IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler to the House Ways and Means Committee, which were released Wednesday.
They came up Thursday morning during the first hearing on Joe Biden’s impeachment, alongside a litany of other texts and documents — some revealed by DailyMail.com — showing the president’s potential involvement in Hunter Biden’s shady foreign business deals.

Another telling text message revealed by DailyMail.com in May this year was sent to Hunter by Joe’s brother Jim in 2018.
That day, emails from Hunter’s abandoned laptop revealed that he was also finalizing a contract to become Ye’s attorney, for a staggering $1 million upfront fee. It’s not clear exactly what services Hunter would provide in the strange arrangement – which would see Hunter legally represent a man with whom he already had a business partnership.
