Hunter Biden in 2014 became a board member of Burisma, which news reports at the time suggested was a conflict of interest, given his father’s position. Nevertheless, Republicans have long sought to tie the vice president to his son’s business interests, even launching a Senate investigation, so any indication that the vice president helped his son could be politically damaging. Moreover, another alleged email published by the New York Post contradicts the notion that Hunter Biden could influence his father. “I was with the vice president in all of his meetings on Ukraine,” said Michael Carpenter, Biden’s foreign policy adviser in 2015. MacIsaac, who said that he was legally blind, said that he was almost certain that it was Hunter Biden who dropped off the computer.
