Hunter Biden’s former business partner is now cooperating with the FBI

A source familiar with the FBI’s investigation into Hunter Biden‘s business dealings tells The Chronicle that Bevan Cooney, his former business partner, is cooperating with investigators and has already provided two separate field offices with access to more than 26,000 emails. Cooney has also made the emails available to Peter Schweizer, a senior contributor at Breitbart News, where they were first published this week in an exclusive investigation that details how the Democrat presidential nominee’s son and his colleagues used their access to the Obama-Biden administration to arrange private meetings for potential foreign clients and investors at the highest levels in the […]

A source familiar with the FBI’s investigation into Hunter Biden‘s business dealings tells The Chronicle that Bevan Cooney, his former business partner, is cooperating with investigators and has already provided two separate field offices with access to more than 26,000 emails.

Cooney has also made the emails available to Peter Schweizer, a senior contributor at Breitbart News, where they were first published this week in an exclusive investigation that details how the Democrat presidential nominee’s son and his colleagues used their access to the Obama-Biden administration to arrange private meetings for potential foreign clients and investors at the highest levels in the White House.

Cooney is asking for early release from prison in exchange for his cooperation with prosecutors and access to additional computer hard drives that he claims will provide evidence of Biden’s crimes.

Cooney is currently serving a federal prison sentence for his conviction on financial crimes connected to Biden and his other business partner, Devon Archer. Archer, who was also convicted by a jury in federal court, had his conviction vacated by a federal judge.

Archer’s original conviction was recently reinstated by an appellate court, which overruled the lower court judge’s decision to vacate it. He is now awaiting sentencing.

Hunter Biden’s appointment to the Board of Burisma Holdings came a few weeks after Devon Archer (pictured above). Archer is the college roommate of the Secretary of State’s stepson and H.J. Heinz Co. ketchup heir Christopher Heinz.

Cooney provided written authorization to access his Gmail account. Cooney provided the password, username, and written authorization to publish the emails. Schweizer calls Cooney the “fall guy” for the Bidens’ corruption.

Biden and his partners regularly secured meetings with senior White House officials in November 2011 for senior members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Those meetings included a secret meeting with then-Vice President Joe Biden. That meeting was excluded from his public schedule.

Cooney says that he owns hard drives that contain more documents that that illustrate the relationship between Hunter Biden and the ex-wife of the former Moscow mayor, Yelene Baturina.

Yelena Nikolayevna Baturina is a Russian billionaire businesswoman and philanthropist, based in London, and was married to Yury Luzhkov, mayor of Moscow (from 1992 to 2010) and a close ally of Vladimir Putin, until his death in 2019. She founded (1991) and for two decades served as president of Inteco, an investment and construction company.

Baturina is alleged to have funneled more than $3.5 million to Hunter Biden through his investment vehicle, Rosemont Seneca, and Bak USA, a now-defunct firm that assembled computer tablets in downtown Buffalo from 2015 to 2019. That firm was principally owned by billionaire Tom Golisano.

“Many of the emails are the business partners discussing, without Hunter’s participation, what Hunter’s role is in all of this,” Schweizer explains. “What’s very clear is Hunter brings no money to the table, but he is considered the avenue to the administration.”

“There are emails that talk about how they are going to do business deals where they want to get union pension money and that Hunter is going to leverage the relationships that his dad has with public employee unions to get that money,” he explains.

Hunter Biden traveled with Secret Service detail on domestic and international flights 411 times, including to 26 different countries. He traveled to China with Secret Service detail at least five times.

      Well heard of national Intel says it’s being investigated… and not as Russian dis-info.

      Have you seen this? Even though Rudy Giuliani is Trumps attorney, FBI confirmed authenticity of laptop and email. And Fox televised and showed copy of note where Cooney gave fbi permission to go through his computer. Watch Giulianis interview.

        At any time, on any computer, fake emails, photos and audio can be uploaded. Hunter Biden’s former business associates are highly motivated to lie, so they can have a “get out of jail free” card. This is all bullshit.

          Joe Biden is also very highly motivated to lie as he needs a “stay out of jail card”
          The Biden family stiffed these two partners and now have exposure

          Unless it was something to do with Trump! Then it is ALL REAL!
          Steel Dossier? Anyone?
          RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA!

    It’s obvious they are corrupt! They are planning on Kamala being president- God Save Us – Trump 2020

      No they are planning on keeping Joe around as long as possible because Obama is calling the shots from behind the curtain. Joe doesn’t care because he is keeping his friends, family, and himself out of jail. As an added bonus the Biden corrupt money will start flowing again. This is why Kerry is the “czar” of climate change. The Biden campaign had already said it will throw 2 TRILLION dollars over to corrupt Kerry to deal with climate change. How can the people of this country be so uniformed and dumb?

    Ever notice that anything about Trump is automatically “true” but anything about Democrats or Biden specifically is “Russian misinformation”….the media is protecting Biden and the democrats. It’s so obvious. The softball questions for Biden, the attack questions for Trump. They let him use ear pieces and teleprompters bc he cant complete a thought! I will never understand how people can be so blind to actual corruption. They actually believe that someone whose never been in politics is somehow more corrupt than lifetime politicians

      So True!

        I’m sorry but you have grossly Miss spoken. Trump has been investigated for three years about Russia collusion which has finally been proven false. Trump was never assumed to be correct. That being said I’m not saying Trump is clean. I think Biden and Trump both lie. All politicians lie. But get your facts straight, Trump was investigated and the government spent 48 million dollars of US taxpayers dollars to investigative Russian collusion scheme which has proved out to not be true. I can think of a lot better ways to spend 48 million dollars in our country

        1. John

          Finally someone speaks the truth. How many people could that money saved.

    It is very disturbing that most of Hunter Biden’s business partners or associates are either in jail, waiting sentencing or are under investigation.

    What Archer and Cooney did to an impoverished Native American tribe is terrifying. Financially defrauding a poor group of Native American’s out of millions of dollars — to quote Joe Biden “come on Man!”.

    May a diseased yak poop on Biden’s wire transfer of money party.
    Lying sacks of shit,this is unacceptable,they’re putting themselves in very compremising positions.How the fuck can any sane,reasonable registered American voter remotely consider casting a vote for that creep,Joe Biden.
    You know,take one look at Hunter’s face that looks older than his years,edgy,gray,dark and sinister appearing,you can’t tell me for a second he’s not getting high on namely crack.Further,with all the stress,anxiety vexing and pressured he faces every day,the real possibility of incarceration,I bet he folds,picks up again.Yea,fuck u joe,he kicked the habit.Lol
