Biden Promised to Help Son's Business Partner Lobby for UN Job

  • In July 2015, Hunter Biden and business partner Devon Archer had breakfast with Marc Holtzman at VP Biden's residence. The purpose was to lobby Biden to support Holtzman's friend Karim Massimov for UN Secretary General.

  • Massimov was chairman of Kazakhstan's largest bank and Archer and Hunter were pursuing a deal with him for Burisma to start operations in Kazakhstan.

  • Biden said it would be "tough" to advocate for Massimov but promised to bring it up with Obama. Massimov did not get the UN job.

  • Archer recently testified about the breakfast meeting to the House Oversight Committee investigating Biden's connections to his son's business deals.

  • The meeting shows Biden gave access to his son's associates to lobby for favors, which House Republicans say is grounds for their impeachment inquiry into Biden.
