Hunter’s big ask and apparent attempt to use his father’s position of power to land the deal for Bursima — the Ukrainian gas giant on whose board he sat — came to light only after State Department records were released to the New York Times after Joe Biden ended his 2024 re-election bid last month.
“I want to be careful about promising too much,” a Commerce Department official at the US Embassy in Italy wrote in response to Hunter’s 2016 letter, which was not released.
The official seemed alarmed by the request, noting the various protocols in place that prevent the US government from lobbying on behalf of foreign companies.
“This is a Ukrainian company and, purely to protect ourselves, [the US government] should not be actively advocating with the government of Italy without the company going through the [Department of Commerce] Advocacy Center,” the official wrote.
The revelation adds to evidence linking Hunter to violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act through his work for Burisma and various business entities.
