During his testimony before Congress, IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley mentioned a message that showed Hunter Biden allegedly using his father’s political power to threaten a Chinese official.
Shapley’s testimony, which was held on May 26 and was publicly released by the Ways and Means Committee on Thursday, included a message from Biden’s son, Hunter, to Chinese businessman Henry Zhao, the president and CEO of Harvest Fund Management. The messages were reportedly obtained from Hunter Biden’s iCloud account.
“We obtained a July 30th, 2017, WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to Henry Zhao, where Hunter Biden wrote: ‘I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father,'” read the testimony.
