President Joe Biden has agreed to pay the bills of his youngest son, Hunter Biden, that include legal fees connected to his overseas business dealings before the 2020 election, according to an email.

The email, which surfaced Tuesday, had an attached spreadsheet detailing the debts. According to New York Post, it calls into question Biden's repeated statements that he has never discussed Hunter's business with him.

The message, dated January 17, 2019, was written by Hunter's former personal assistant, Katie Dodge. It was then sent to an accountant named Linda Shapero, the founder of the Global DEEZ firm in Leesburg, Virginia.

Dodge wrote that she has spoken with the younger Biden about his more than $800,000 in bills, adding that it was in her understanding that the president would cover the bills "in the short-term as Hunter transitions in his career."

Dodge's email was cc-ed to Hunter and Richard Ruffner, who was Joe Biden's personal aide while he was vice president. The spreadsheet showed that Hunter Biden's debts included legal fees amounting to more than $130,000 and were due "ASAP" to the law firm of Faegre Baker Daniels.

According to the spreadsheet, Hunter's bills from Faegre Baker included $82,239 for "Confidential Investi," $20,909 for "Burnham Restructu," and $28,832 for "BHR Restructuring."

BHR seemed to be a reference to the Chinese company Bohai Harvest RST (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management, in which Joe Biden's youngest son held a 10 percent stake through a company called Skaneateles LLC.

Hunter's other debts included payments and insurance for a Porsche, a Ford truck, and a boat; tuition for her daughters; $37,000 a month to his ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle; and $157,033 for "CREDIT CARDS."

More than half of the $818,665 in debts listed on the spreadsheet went to various state and federal taxes, totaling $412,309.

First reported by the Daily Mail, the email and the spreadsheet were reportedly stored on Hunter's laptop left at a repair shop in the Biden family's hometown of Wilmington, Delaware in 2019.

President Joe Biden on Hunter Biden's Business Dealings

Sen. Bill Hagerty on Tuesday asked Attorney General Merrick Garland about the president being seemingly involved with Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings.

In a Senate subcommittee hearing, Hagerty asked Garland if he had any reason to dispute the evidence that indicates that Joe Biden was involved with and using money from Hunter's business deals, the New York Post reported.

Hagerty cited Hunter's longtime business partner Eric Schwerin visiting the White House and the vice president's residence at least 19 times and met with Joe Biden or his staff.

Hagerty added that there were emails and photographs that showed that Joe Biden, while he was vice president, met some of Hunter's business associates, including a Burisma executive and a Russian billionaire who paid Hunter's firm $3.5 million.

The Ukrainian-operated Burisma energy company paid Hunter a million dollars per year to sit on its board. Garland has declined to provide details and insisted to both Hagerty and Sen. Mike Braun that a special counsel was not needed because a probe of Hunter Biden by the U.S. attorney's office in Delaware would continue without political interference.

According to Daily Mail, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday said she does not have any information about the White House visits.

Psaki was already asked multiple times about Hunter Biden's laptop and business dealings but referred the press to the Department of Justice or has noted that the president son does not work in the White House.

Hunter Biden Laptop

Jack Maxey, the source who distributed Hunter Biden's laptop to congressmen and media, has fled the United States to Switzerland, saying he is afraid of retaliation from the Biden administration, Daily Mail reported.

Maxey has also given copies and material of the laptop's contents to the Daily Mail, Washington Post, New York Times, and Sen. Chuck Grassley as ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Maxey has been hiding in Zurich while working with IT experts to find more data from Hunter Biden's laptop. He claimed that he and his colleagues found "450 gigabytes of deleted material." It includes 80,000 images and videos and more than 120,000 archived emails.

Maxey noted that he plans to post them all online in the coming weeks.
