Most American voters believe Democratic nominee Joe Biden was involved in his son Hunter’s controversial business dealings, a new poll has found in the wake of The Post’s exclusive reporting on the family’s murky overseas ties.
The survey of 1,000 likely voters by Rasmussen Reports found 54 percent believe it’s “likely that Biden was consulted about and perhaps profited from Hunter’s overseas business deals.”
Forty-four percent consider it “very likely” while 38 percent said it was unlikely Biden was involved in his son’s affairs overseas, including 21 percent who said it was “not at all likely.”
A tranche of documents reported by The Post earlier this month revealed how Hunter Biden sought to leverage access to his then-vice president father to make millions of dollars overseas.
One email also indicated that the oft-troubled son also introduced the elder Biden to a Ukrainian energy executive a year before he lobbied officials in Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was investigating the company.
The articles have sparked a political maelstrom just weeks from the president election and prompted a former business associate of Hunter Biden to come forward and accuse Joe Biden of lying about his involvement in a scheme to make millions in China.
Tech giant Twitter, however, has labeled the revelations with a warning and locked The Post’s official account for the past 12 days, demanding the newspaper delete six tweets about the story before it can regain access to its account.
The unprecedented censorship has sparked a Senate Judiciary probe, with GOP lawmakers issuing subpoenas to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
The correspondence published by The Post was contained in a trove of data that the owner of a computer repair shop in Delaware said was recovered from a MacBook Pro laptop that was dropped off in April 2019 and never retrieved.
