Time and again, President Joe Biden has insisted that he "never" discussed Chinese business dealing with his son Hunter Biden.

Yet in a humiliating development, newly published photographs appear to prove that the president's claim was a lie. 

Pictures obtained by conservative legal foundation

According to Breitbart, the pictures in question were released via social media on Monday by the conservative group America First Legal.

Created by former Trump White House adviser Stephen Miller, America First Legal obtained the images through a lawsuit it filed against the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) two years ago.

"Following the Presidential Records Act, NARA had planned to release these photographs on October 23, 2024 — thirteen days before Election Day," a statement from America First Legal read.

"But Biden and Obama's lawyers and representatives invoked an extension of 30 working days, so they have not been released until now," the statement went on to add.

Images show Joe Biden alongside Hunter's Chinese business partners

One picture shows then-Vice President Joe Biden introducing his son to Chinese President Xi Jinping during an official visit to Beijing in 2013.

In another photograph, Hunter Biden can be seen shaking hands with then-Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao as his father looks on.

Perhaps the most damning set of images involve Joe Biden and high ranking figures at Bohai Harvest RST (BHR), a Shanghai-based Chinese investment company which Hunter Biden helped to found.

Fox News reported in 2021 that BHR had assisted another Chinese firm known as China Molybdenum with its purchase of cobalt and copper mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo from an American company five years earlier.

Cobalt vital to production of missiles, aerospace parts, and batteries

Cobalt is regarded as being a strategically vital mineral as it is used in the production of missiles and aerospace parts as well as batteries for electric vehicles.

Fox News noted how then-White House press secretary Jen Psaki was reluctant to provide exact details concerning what role Hunter Biden had played in setting up the deal.

"He has been working to unwind his investment, but I would certainly point you — he's a private citizen. I would point you to him or his lawyers on the outside on any update," the official was quoted as saying.
