President Joe Biden was more involved in Hunter Biden’s financial and business dealings than previously acknowledged, allowing his son to pay some of his bills, diverting one of his tax refunds to his son, rubbing elbows with the first son’s foreign clients and even directly referring a friend who wanted to “do some work” with his son, according to email and text messages reviewed by Just the News.
