Joe Biden paid nearly $2.75 million CASH for a home in Rehoboth Beach within weeks of Hunter sending a ‘threatening’ text message to a Chinese business associate demanding a $10 million transaction.
It is Joe Biden’s favorite place: his vacation residence in Delaware, where he has retreated scores of times during his 1,000 days as Chief Executive. The president-in-name-only has spent at least 300 of those days in the second-smallest state in the country or on vacation.
Now, however, that beach home’s acquisition could pose a significant problem for Biden as Republicans hunt down more connections between the current president and his family’s illicit influence-peddling operations.
The Daily Mail has discovered that Biden, who had spent nearly his entire adult life in public service, purchased the residence for slightly less than $2.75 million in cash. Moreover, the transaction occurred within weeks of a threatening text that Hunter had sent to Henry Zhao, an associate at the Chinese energy behemoth CEFC, requesting a $10 million per year contract.
“I am sitting here with my father, and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled,” Hunter wrote to Zhao via WhatsApp on July 30, 2017.
