Hunter Biden contacted US ambassador in 2016 over Burisma deal, NYT reports
According to the New York Times, Hunter Biden wrote a letter to the ambassador at the US Embassy in Rome on behalf of Burisma , an energy company.Republicans have raised unproven claims that President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and other family members engaged in financial misconduct, allegations the White House denies.
His attorney, Abbe Lowell, on Wednesday told Reuters that Hunter Biden and others asked Ambassador John Phillips and others for introductions to the president of Italy's Tuscany region, where the company was weighing projects. An unnamed person involved in the effort also said the project never materialised, according to the Times, which said it was unclear whether the US Embassy in Italy took any steps on behalf of Burisma.
Phillips, the then-ambassador, told the Times that he received many letters and did not recall one specifically from Hunter Biden, adding that he would not"necessarily" have encouraged a response from himself to avoid fueling an appearance of special treatment.
