To pluck a common adage that is often used against President Trump, the walls are closing in on Joe Biden with the evidence of his pay-for-play scandals mounting. This is not to write that Biden will necessarily be prosecuted but that his improper dealings of selling access to his office will force the issue with respect to public opinion at least. On that score, America First Legal has provided yet more evidence through email exchanges that "Hunter Biden’s personal business activities comingled with Joe Biden’s official business" and that such nefarious and corrupt dealings began at least "in Vice President Biden’s first year in the White House."
The conservative legal firm released the details of its findings from a successful lawsuit "against the National Archives" in a Twitter thread and used a Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) Complaint against Hunter Biden to obtain said documents.

In a press statement, America First Legal summarized the records they obtained as revealing that "Vice President Biden’s closest advisors held confidential discussions about Hunter Biden’s consulting firm, Seneca Global Advisors." They also noted that "Hunter’s foreign travel and personal business and financial matters involved discussions with White House staff and other political appointees in the Obama Administration." The records also revealed, "On the same day that a CCP official was addressing allegations of political retaliation against an Anglo-Australian mining company, Hunter’s business partner involved with CCP-backed mining deals was reaching out to the Vice President’s advisor about that CCP official’s upcoming visit."
America First Legal also accused the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) of playing politics with the records and acting in an improper manner. They wrote that "The National Archives continues to unlawfully withhold records from the American public through improper and partisan applications of the Presidential Records Act."

The law firm documented how the content of emails like exchanges between Biden's staff and business associates of Hunter were withheld by NARA because a full release "would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors." One such withheld exchange was about a 2009 trip to Ethiopia, which America First Legal noted was an admission that "If Hunter’s trip to Ethiopia only involved his personal business with Seneca Global Advisors, Biden’s White House advisors’ discussion about Hunter’s trip would not have involved confidential advice to the Vice President."
America First Legal also argued that these censored exchanges by NARA may raise ethics violations and conflicts of interest for Biden's staffers. The alternative is that "this is just another example of the National Archives unlawfully withholding a record from the American public through an improper application of the Presidential Records Act."
The legal firm vowed that either way, it will "challenge this improper concealment [by NARA] in court."
Reed D. Rubinstein, Director of Oversight and Investigations at America First Legal, said that "This latest release by the National Archives provides additional evidence suggesting that Vice President Biden and his family viewed the Office of the Vice President as an ATM. Protected by the Secret Service, Hunter Biden traveled the world, apparently leveraging his father’s office to generate generational family wealth. The grift was cynical and brazen."
