Things have taken a very interesting turn.
The individual who was once an associate of Hunter and had a longstanding partnership in business with him made numerous visits to both the Obama White House and the residence of then-Vice President Joe Biden from 2009 to 2016. These frequent visits are now drawing attention as they could potentially place this individual in the spotlight of the House Oversight Committee’s inquiry into Hunter Biden’s overseas business activities.
According to Fox, during Joe Biden’s tenure as Vice President, Eric Schwerin not only visited the White House and the vice presidential residence at Observatory Circle 27 times, as initially reported, but upon closer examination, it has been discovered that Schwerin’s visits were more numerous, totaling at least 36 times within that timeframe.
Having held the position of founding partner and managing director at Hunter’s defunct company, Rosemont Seneca Partners, Eric Schwerin was selected by then-President Obama to serve on the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad, an autonomous agency within the U.S. government. This appointment took place in the beginning of 2015. Furthermore, Schwerin’s role within the commission was reaffirmed by President Obama when he was reappointed to the same position in January 2017.
The count of Schwerin’s visits to the White House might potentially exceed 36 if any of his interactions were categorized within the exception of the White House’s voluntary disclosure policy, specifically for “purely personal guests.” This consideration arises from his involvement in managing the Biden family’s individual financial matters.
As stated on the archived website of the Obama administration, “Access records pertaining to guests who are purely of a personal nature to the first and second families (i.e., visits unrelated to official or political matters) will not be made available by the White House.”
Among Schwerin’s visits, there was a notable instance in November 2010 when he had a meeting with Joe Biden within the confines of the West Wing. Additionally, Schwerin participated in no less than 15 occasions of holiday receptions at Joe Biden’s residence, with one of note being the December 12 reception in 2015. This event occurred shortly after then-Vice President Biden’s well-known trip to Ukraine, during which he made headlines by issuing a threat to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid unless Ukraine’s leadership dismissed their chief prosecutor.
As indicated by records from the White House visitor logs, Schwerin was present at the reception alongside Devon Archer, co-founder of Rosemont Seneca, Hunter, and Sebastian Momtazi. Momtazi was an associate collaborating with Archer in Rosemont Seneca’s New York City office. Notably, both Archer and Momtazi held positions on the board of Burisma alongside Hunter. Email correspondence previously examined by Fox News Digital revealed that both Archer and Momtazi possessed email addresses associated with Burisma.com.
In April 2015, a month subsequent to his appointment within the U.S. government, Schwerin’s presence at Biden’s residence was documented in the visitor logs as a “meeting.”
Although the visitor log for April 15 does not specify the individuals Schwerin met with or confirm Biden’s presence, the timing of the meeting is expected to raise inquiries from members of the House Oversight Committee, particularly among Republicans. This interest stems from the fact that the meeting occurred just one day before Biden’s well-known dinner at Cafe Milano, where he dined with several associates connected to Hunter’s business dealings, including Vadym Pozharskyi, a prominent executive at Burisma. Notably, Schwerin seems to have been in attendance at this dinner.
Just last week, Archer provided confirmation that Joe Biden’s presence was indeed at the upscale Cafe Milano in Georgetown on April 16. He mentioned that the elder Biden “had dinner” in the company of various individuals tied to Hunter’s business endeavors, prominently including “Vadym P. from Burisma.” This revelation dismantles the narrative that both the Biden campaign and the Biden White House had consistently put forth, which previously denied Joe Biden’s involvement in the dinner.
The recent revelation regarding Schwerin’s regular visits to the Obama White House coincides with Archer’s recent testimony before the House Oversight Committee. In his testimony, Archer claimed that Joe Biden, the elder, participated in over twenty-five business calls alongside his son during his tenure as vice president.
