Hunter wrote in messages that Hallie had been to rehab four times, costing over $100,000 – some of it allegedly paid for by Joe Biden
Though Hunter’s prolific drug addiction and downward spiral into binges with prostitutes has been well-publicized, messages and videos from his laptop reveal that Hallie was also in the throes of addiction during their controversial relationship.
In a January 2019 phone call Hunter recorded with Hallie she begged him to come and take drugs with her, telling him: ‘I’m going to use regardless, but I would rather use with you.’
Hunter videoed himself having another phone call with Hallie in which she asked him to get drugs for her.
‘I want to help you from f***ing up, Hal. You’re gonna lose your children,’ Hunter said. ‘Just help me get it, please,’ she replied. She added that she planned to ask a friend for cocaine.

‘I don’t know. I still think she would,’ Hallie replied.
‘You don’t think she would call your sister who would call your mom who would call my dad? Absolutely 100% she would,’ Hunter said.
Hunter wrote in messages that Hallie had been to rehab four times, costing over $100,000 – some of it allegedly paid for by Joe Biden.
In December 2018 Hunter wrote a ranting text to Hallie referring to ‘$57,000 I paid for you at Passages ($5,700 per day) or the $45,000 Dad paid at Caron (4500 per day you stayed).’ Both Passages and Caron are rehab centers.

‘I don’t have proof of this but I would be careful as s*** because what was implied to me was whomever is giving them s*** is being monitored by law enforcement.’
Texts also show Joe was aware of Hallie’s addiction.
In July 2018 Hunter sent a recording to his father of himself talking on the phone to Hallie, arguing over how she planned to buy and cook crack cocaine.
Joe responded: ‘Got your text. Can’t say I’m surprised. Going to bed I’ll call you tomorrow morning. Love you. Be strong. Love Dad.’
The financial relationship between Hunter and his sister-in-law-cum-lover also grew from around 2016.
Amid Hunter’s split with his first wife Kathleen Buhle, she emailed him furiously about expensive gifts he was buying Hallie
Kathleen sent the emails in July 2016, after reportedly discovering romantic texts between her husband and Hallie. ‘I’m leaving you because you are having an affair and you have been emotionally abusive,’ Kathleen wrote on July 28, 2016
In an email with the subject line ‘Final words’, Kathleen writes ‘You cheated on me. Not only did you cheat on me, Viagra and Cialis, you actually bought her expensive gifts’

Amid Hunter’s split with his first wife Kathleen Buhle that year, she emailed him furiously about expensive gifts he was buying Hallie.
On July 18, 2016 Kathleen emailed Hunter about Hallie, writing: ‘You cheated on me. You continued to cheat on me while I worked with [their therapists] to get you help. Not only did you cheat on me, Viagra and Cialis, you actually bought her expensive gifts.’

Documents show Hunter also hired Hallie at his consultancy firm Rosemont Seneca in 2018.
His secretary, Katie Dodge, sent Hunter a document showing Hallie listed on the firm’s health insurance plan, and when he asked for a payroll review in December 2018 she texted that Hallie had been on the books since March that year.
Hunter even divulged to his lover and brother’s widow some of the most concerning allegations surrounding his multi-million-dollar deal with Chinese oil giant CEFC – which bank statements now show Hallie profited from.
On December 14, 2018, Hunter texted her a desperate screed, confessing that his client was Beijing’s ‘chief of intelligence’.
‘I find myself (because I’ve chosen to alienate all my friends and family and employees and you and the kids and my kids etc..) very alone in dealing with rebuilding an income that can support an enormous alimony and my kids costs and myself,’ he wrote, ‘dealing with the aftermath of the abduction and likely assassination (that’s what NYT’s suspects) of my business partner the richest man in the world, the arrest and conviction of my client the chief of intelligence of the people’s republic of China by the US government, the retaliation of the Chinese in the ouster and arrest of US suspected CIA operatives inside China, my suspected involvement in brokering a deal with Vladimir Putin directly for the largest sale of oil gas assets inside Russia to China, a tax bill that Eric [Schwerin, his Rosemont business partner] left hanging over my business and… Dads running for president.’
A December 2018 text message exchange obtained by DailyMail.com shows Hunter whined about finding himself ‘very alone’ in rebuilding an income to support himself and his family, as well as dealing with the arrest of his client, the abduction of his business partner, and his ‘suspected involvement in brokering a deal with Putin’, all while his father was running for president
Hallie is the latest target of the Congressional investigation into the Biden family
An analysis of Cathay Bank statements obtained by DailyMail.com of Hunter’s joint venture with CEFC, Hudson West III LLC, show the Chinese plowed $10,893,907.69 into the scheme.
Hunter and his uncle Jim Biden, who was part of the Chinese venture, received $5 million from it, a 2020 report by Congressional investigators has shown.
And $3million was wired to Robinson Walker LLC, the firm of Hunter’s business partner and Biden family friend, John ‘Rob’ Walker, by a CEFC-affiliated company, State Energy HK Limited, on March 1, 2017, according to a memo released by Comer on Thursday.
Comer’s review of bank records for Walker’s firm shows Walker wired $35,000 in two transactions to Hallie around the same period, and $1million to Hunter, Jim and another bank account labeled only ‘Biden’.
The first wire to Hallie was February 13 2017 for $10,000, before the Chinese payment, and then another $25,000 on March 20, 2017.
The Oversight Committee chair wrote he is still investigating ‘why Hallie Biden -publicly reported to work as a school counselor – received money from Robinson Walker’.
Comer’s review of bank records for Walker’s firm shows Walker then wired $35,000 in two transactions to Hallie, and $1million to Hunter, Jim and another bank account labeled only ‘Biden’
‘The Oversight Committee is concerned about the national security implications resulting from President Biden’s family receiving millions of dollars from foreign nationals,’ Comer said in a statement. ‘We will continue to follow the money trail and facts to determine if President Biden is compromised by his family’s business schemes and if there is a national security threat.’
Despite receiving money from the Chinese venture, Rosemont Seneca, and a $2million life insurance check in 2016 after Beau’s death, Hallie got into financial hot water with her kids’ private school.
The school resorted to suing her in March 2019 for $55,740 in unpaid school fees for her children Hunter and Natalie from the previous year. The case was settled in October 2019, three months after Joe announced his candidacy for president.
Comer’s is the latest Congressional investigation, but ground was first broken by Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson, who led a four-year probe into Hunter Biden’s business dealings and published a report in 2020 warning of national security concerns over his relationship with CCP-linked Chinese businessmen.
They were the first to discover the $3million sent to Robinson Walker LLC by CEFC affiliates, and traced $5million sent by the Chinese energy giant to Hunter, Jim and Sara Biden’s companies.
Hallie’s spokeswoman did not answer questions about the Chinese money, and declined to comment on her relationship with Hunter.
‘This is just another shameful attempt to smear the reputation of Beau Biden’s widow, and the Biden family by extension,’ the spokeswoman said in a statement to DailyMail.com. ‘Ms. Biden will not dignify it with a comment.’
A spokesperson for Hunter released a statement following Comer’s revelation this week of the $35,000 payments to Hallie, saying that the First Son was ‘involved’ and ‘sharing expenses’ with her in 2017, and that the money went to ‘nobody else’.
‘Hunter Biden, a private citizen with every right to pursue his own business endeavors, joined several business partners in seeking a joint venture with a privately-owned, legitimate energy company in China,’ the statement said.
‘As part of that joint venture, Hunter received his portion of good faith seed funds which he shared with his uncle, James Biden, and Hallie Biden, with whom he was involved at the time, and sharing expenses,’ the spokesperson said in a statement. ‘The accounts so dramatically listed by Rep. Comer belonged to Hunter, his uncle and Hallie — nobody else.’
White House spokesman Ian Sams issued a statement slamming Comer for suggesting in a Fox Business TV interview this month that the Delaware prosecutor investigating Hunter should have also prosecuted Beau Biden, 시알리스 정품 who died in 2015.
‘After a disgusting attack lamenting that the President’s deceased son Beau was never prosecuted while he was alive, Congressman Comer has now decided to go after Beau’s widow,’ Sams said.
‘Instead of bizarrely attacking the President’s family, perhaps House Republicans should focus on working with the President to deliver results for American families on important priorities like lowering costs and strengthening health care.’
