The House Republican’s X account shared an email which shows an aide to U.S. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) contacted Hunter Biden associate Eric Schwerin in 2010 to request that the then Vice President Joe Biden host the U.S. Spain Council’s 2010 meeting at his Naval Observatory residence.
This revelation raises questions as to why the request wasn’t made through the White House.
“When an aide to Senator Robert Menendez requested that then VP-Biden host the U.S.-Spain Council’s 2010 annual meeting at his official Naval Observatory residence in Washington DC, he contacted Hunter Biden’s business partner rather than Joe’s White House office.”

Menendez and his wife were indicted Friday on federal bribery and extortion charges in connection to an investigation that has been going on for multiple years.
Menendez is currently the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
This is the second time Menendez has been charged with corruption.
“Prosecutors say FBI agents found $500,000 in cash and several gold bars in the home of Sen. Bob Menendez and his wife during a June 2022 search.
The details come as the NJ Senator is set to be arraigned Wednesday on bribery charges.”

The email seems to show that members of Congress knew to contact Hunter Biden when they wanted something from the then-VP.
The email has only raised more questions and appears to bolster the impeachment inquiry.
As Republicans continue to dig into Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings, we will see what other things they uncover.
