Hunter Biden not registering as a foreign agent during his business dealings involving a Chinese energy giant with ties to the Chinese Communist Party could support an indictment, said Natalie Winters, an investigative reporter at National Pulse.
“They [the CCP] saw he was surrounded by people who were just filled with greed and wanted to make a profit,” said Winters who, in her own words, primarily focuses her journalism on “how the Chinese Communist Party works to really subvert the United States, [using mostly] political leaders, thought leaders, people in media, people in academia.”
Therefore information left on Hunter Biden’s laptop related to his foreign business dealings with China was for Winters the most relevant in terms of the political application because the Chinese United Front Work Department and all various groups that work with it to subvert people like Hunter Biden “is probably the most existential threat to the United States,” she said.
Winters pointed out that Hunter Biden’s work with CEFC China Energy Company would have required him by U.S. law to register as a foreign agent based on public business records, without a need to corroborate his involvement by the information found on his laptop.
CEFC China Energy is used as a means to exert political influence on foreign countries by the Chinese regime, Winters explained.
Hunter Biden once referred to himself as a managing director of CEFC China Energy in an email found on his abandoned laptop and that alone would require him to register as a foreign agent based on the Foreign Agent Registration Act, Winters explained, “but he never registered.”
Winters cautioned against the spin in media coverage of the hard drive content of Hunter Biden’s laptop. “It’s sort of a misdirection play in the sense that it’s just focused on Hunter Biden and his business dealings, his taxes, his financial records.” But “the smoking gun,” Winters said, is how allegedly the former Vice President Joe Biden was involved in helping his son with foreign business dealings.
A few weeks later in 2015, then-Vice President Joe Biden reached out to then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko asking him to remove the prosecutor that was involved in the Burisma investigation, Carlson said.
Winters added that there are a lot of people who claim that they have copies of the hard drive of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop. Some claim to have found images indicating that certain crimes were committed, she said. “But yet, we’ve never necessarily seen the corroborated evidence for these allegations.”
“You don’t make a claim if you don’t present the evidence first,” said Winters who described herself as an “old school journalist.”
“We don’t need to shoot ourselves in the foot by making allegations that we can’t prove, .. [or] we can’t prove yet.” Bad faith actors are on the left and on the right, Winters added.
