Did Hunter Biden profit off the overseas trip to Ireland?

Despite scrutiny over the Biden family’s foreign business dealings, Hunter Biden was invited to follow his father to Ireland last week.

Sara Gonzales of "The News & Why it Matters" reports, “Hunter’s partners at the newly defunct investment from Rosemont Seneca Partners discussed making contacts to expand their energy investments in various state-owned investment funds, including Ireland.”

Gonzales says that someone from Rosemont Seneca was suggested to reach out to former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Dan Rooney “in order to gain connections to the Irish government.”

Eric Schwerin, the firm’s former president, “suggested to Devin and Hunter that an informal meeting with Rooney could be arranged,” Gonzales continues.

Gonzales asks her guest, Eric July, if he would be shocked if all of Hunter’s shady business dealing were still happening under American’s noses.

“No, I expect it to still be happening,” he says.

July continues, “I also expect it — and that’s not to dumb the situation down — that there are other members of Congress and members of government that are also doing some, let’s say shady stuff.”

He calls the Biden family and our government's shady dealings “mafia-esque.”

Gonzales adds, “I can’t think of a different reason for Hunter Biden actually showing his face — now that we know all that we know about him, now that he’s being investigated in so many ways. It’s like, 'You’re just gonna’ gallivant around to Ireland with your dad and pretend like nothing happened? It just seems bizarre to me.”

July chimes in, “It’s ingrained in our minds that they’re supposed to be good, and when we’re presented with information that they’re objectively bad, or at minimum, shady people, it’s like we just shrug our shoulders, I don’t know.”
