Judicial Watch announced today it received records from the U.S. Secret Service showing that, for the first five and a half years of the Obama administration, Hunter Biden traveled extensively while receiving a Secret Service protective detail. During the time period of the records provided, Hunter Biden, son of then-Vice President Joe Biden, took 411 separate domestic and international flights, including to 29 different foreign countries. He visited China five times.

Judicial Watch’s February 7, 2020, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request sought:

Records reflecting the dates and locations of travel, international and domestic, for Hunter Biden while he received a U.S. Secret Service protective detail; please note whether his travel was on Air Force One or Two, or other government aircraft, as applicable and whether additional family members were present for each trip; time frame is 2001 to present.



The Secret Service did not indicate, as was requested, whether Biden’s travel was on Air Force One, Air Force Two or other government aircraft, or whether additional family members were present.

The Secret Service records show that countries and territories visited by Hunter Biden, between June 2009 and May 2014, included:

  • Ethiopia and India on June 14-22, 2009
  • Argentina on September 14-17, 2009
  • France and Spain on November 9-13, 2009
  • Canada on February 12-15, 2010
  • Dominican Republic on February 18-22, 2010
  • Puerto Rico on March 20-27, 2010
  • China on April 6-9, 2010
  • Belgium, Spain, and the United Kingdom on May 5-8, 2010
  • UK, Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, Ascension Island, U.S. Virgin Islands on June 6-13, 2010
  • Denmark and South Africa on August 9-24, 2010
  • Hong Kong, Taiwan and China on April 16-22, 2011
  • Mexico on May 15-17, 2011
  • Colombia, France, United Arab Emirates and France again on November 1-11, 2011
  • UK and Russia on February 15-18, 2012
  • Germany, France and UK on February 1-5, 2013
  • UK and Ireland on March 20-22, 2013
  • China on June 13-15, 2013
  • Switzerland and Italy on July 26-August 7, 2013
  • Japan, China, South Korea and the Philippines on December 2-9, 2013
  • China and Qatar on May 7-14, 2014

The records were also provided, but were not made public, to Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson in a request the senators sent to Secret Service Director James Murray on February 5, 2020.

In its cover letter to Grassley and Johnson, which was included in the records produced to Judicial Watch, the Secret Service said that the senators’ request was time and labor intensive, and they could only provide a limited amount of information by the senators’ imposed turnaround time of February 19.

“Given the Burisma-Ukraine-China influence peddling scandals, Hunter Biden’s extensive international travel during the Obama-Biden presidency, including at least 5 trips to China, will raise additional questions.” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

According to reports, Vice President Joe Biden and  Hunter Biden flew on Air Force Two for the official trip to Beijing in December 2013. The records obtained by Judicial Watch from the Secret Service show Hunter Biden arrived in Tokyo on December 2, 2013 and departed for Beijing two days later. While it is typical for the families of the president and vice president to travel with them, questions have been raised about whether Hunter Biden used the government trip to further his business interests.

the asshole needs to be prosecuted and place in jail 20-life for acts of treason. piece of feculence. POS, lives with his diseased brothers wife for almost two years, banging the hell of her. Press not get wind, married some woman he knew three days. knocks her up and at the same time bangs and knock up a stripper. OH! did one forget the cocaine and history of chronic drug abuse. wonder if he got hooked on opium when in china??
no different than his father a sexual predator and pedioiphile

Where the hell is this dirtbag? In what capacity was he traveling on government aircraft and at times with secret service protection.

Imagine if Donald Trump jr was engaged in this type of corruptive behavior?

Consider this: Hunter Biden had 411 opportunities to set himself up with lucrative legitimate businesses (through illegitimate means), and he’s STILL a loser.

Like father, like son, I suppose.

“Judicial Watch Obtains Secret Service Records Showing Hunter Biden Took 411 Flights, Visited 29 Countries”

Uh huh. So what? Trump’s extended family provided with Secret Service protection has probably topped that travel record in only 3 1/2 years.

Which comes first? Rudy’s Big Box of Evidence or Rudy’s indictment?

How does a zipperhead moron democrat troll excuse the crack smoking, whore chasing, bastard child producing son from taking an unjustifiable 411 flights on government aircraft?

Uh huh. So what?

The words of an imbecile…

@Greg:

probably

Conjecture….easily dismissed.

So ..411 times?

That’s suspect. The American people deserve to know what the hell he was doing

Good luck getting a corrupt senile quid pro quo nepotist into office.

@Greg: Nobody even knew who Hunter was (much less that he was leaching off the taxpayer to line his pockets). But Trump’s family is under constant threat because that’s the nature of the scumbag left.

@July 4th American:

How does a zipperhead moron democrat troll excuse the crack smoking, whore chasing, bastard child producing son from taking an unjustifiable 411 flights on government aircraft?

Because compared to other Democrats, he’s not so bad.

@July 4th American, #5:

Why do you think all of the flights, or even a majority of the flights, were on U.S. government aircraft? Did you imagine that the letter accompanying the FOIA report states that? Did you imagine that the Judicial Watch article states that? Neither says any such thing. Of course the Judicial Watch article is written in a way contrived to encourage you to jump to that conclusion, because that’s the sort of thing that they routinely do. They’re not a news outlet. They’re a propaganda outlet. They feed you information with the intention of making you think what they want you to think.

On occasions when Hunter Biden did fly on Air Force One or Air Force Two—and there were undoubtedly many—did you consider the remote possibility that he was accompanying his father, Vice President Joe Biden, on a trip that was part of the VP’s official itinerary? Such an obvious possibility would never cross your mind, would it?

I’m tired of playing nice with people who constantly insult me. Before you call somebody an imbecile, perhaps you should check the soundness of your own conclusions. In this case they’re not at all sound.

Hunter Biden flew a lot. He was involved in multinational business activities, and he also liked to accompany his father when his father flew on official business. He was under Secret Service protection because he’s a close family member of a man who was the sitting Vice President of the United States. That makes him a target.

So what? is actually an entirely appropriate question.

@Deplorable Me, #7:

Nobody even knew who Hunter was (much less that he was leaching off the taxpayer to line his pockets).

Of course Hunter Biden was known. He’s the son of the former Vice President. Your claim that he was “leaching off the taxpayers” is nothing other than politically motivated slander.

If you want to talk about criminal behavior, let’s talk about somebody who would almost certainly be spending more time in courtrooms than on the golf course if he hadn’t been declared immune from prosecution as a sitting president, and successfully evaded removal from office by locking down evidence, ordering witnesses not to testify, and rigging a Senate trial. How much did Trump’s hotels and resorts pocket from the recent stimulus program? We don’t know, do we? We can’t see his tax returns, and who received a portion of HALF A TRILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS handed out over the course of a few short weeks is “proprietary information”. In any normal context this would be viewed as a total outrage, but getting a rise out of Trump’s supporters is about as likely as getting a startle reaction out of a turtle.

No one has come up with one damn thing to charge Hunter Biden with. Rudy’s Big Box of Evidence never materialized. The Ukrainian investigation? It was bogus. Much was insinuated, but nobody ever detailed even a single specific crime.

@Greg:

Before you call somebody an imbecile, perhaps you should check the soundness of your own conclusions. In this case they’re not at all sound.

Rots o’ ruck with that, friend.

There are several troubling details about this deal that support the belief that Hunter Biden was selling access and influence with the Obama administration. Here are the facts:

This is most likely too complicated for a zipperhead “uh huh, so what” imbecile…

The deal was made soon after Hunter Biden joined the board at Burisma

Hunter Biden got his lucrative position on the board of Burisma Holdings in May 2014, despite having no experience in the field. His only qualification was that his father was the vice president of the United States and was Obama’s point man for U.S. relations with Ukraine. Despite Hunter Biden’s lack of qualifications, he made between $80,000 and $166,000 a month, sparking allegations that he was selling access to the White House. Burisma’s MERP deal with the Obama administration was made six months after Hunter Biden joined their board. Are we really supposed to believe that was just a coincidence?

Burisma was under a corruption investigation at the time of the deal

The timing of the deal is also noteworthy because when the deal was signed Burisma was the subject of two separate corruption investigations into the company’s alleged financial schemes. One investigation was by the British government and the other by the Ukrainian government. Burisma’s notorious corruption would have been enough of a red flag to avoid entering into a deal with them, but being the subject of two corruption investigations raises even more questions about how that deal could have possibly been approved without the Biden connection.


The program was championed by one of Joe Biden’s key advisers

Amos Hochstein, Joe Biden’s energy advisor at the time, had championed the MERP program during a July 2014 Senate hearing in July 2014—a mere three months before the Memorandum of Understanding between Burisma and MERP was signed.

“It is critical that Ukraine reduce the country’s energy intensity,” Hochstein testified. “Thankfully, the United States has a long history of support for energy efficiency in Ukraine. Most recently, USAID’s Municipal Energy Reform Project (MER Project) is designed to enhance Ukraine’s energy security as well as to reduce and mitigate GHG emissions resulting from the poor use of energy resources in Ukrainian municipalities.”

Last year, the Washington Examiner reported that Hochstein also met with the American firm Blue Star Strategies, which had been hired by Bursima to repair its public image with regard to corruption. According to a report from New Yorker magazine, Hochstein also had a “direct conversation” with then-Vice President Joe Biden about his son’s role with Burisma.

Now, let’s look at what we previously knew about the corrupt Biden/Burisma connection:


Hunter Biden was directly communicating with the Obama state department before Shokin was fired

Last October, Biden campaign spokeswoman Kate Bedingfield revealed that the Obama administration gave Hunter the green light to serve on board of Burisma Holdings. “Every single independent outlet that’s looked into this has said there’s no issue of wrongdoing here,” Bedingfield claimed, before adding, “In 2014 the White House cleared Hunter Biden serving on that board.” But later, a career State Department official overseeing Ukraine policy testified that he raised concerns about then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter serving on the board of Burisma Holdings back in early 2015, but was “turned away by a Biden staffer.” According to the Washington Post, George Kent, a deputy assistant secretary of state, was “worried that Hunter Biden’s position at the firm Burisma Holdings would complicate efforts by U.S. diplomats to convey to Ukrainian officials the importance of avoiding conflicts of interest.” Kent was concerned that Ukrainian officials would see Hunter Biden as a “conduit for currying influence with his father.”

According to several sources connected with the company, Hunter Biden was regarded as “a helpful non-executive director with a powerful name” to protect the company during a time that it was facing multiple investigations.

In 2016, Joe Biden threatened Ukrainian officials that he would withhold a $1 billion loan to the country unless they fired Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma at the time.

The State Department ‘raised alarms’ about Hunter Biden’s position at Burisma

Hunter Biden and other officials at Burisma Holdings had multiple contacts with the Obama State Department in 2016, “including one just a month before Vice President Joe Biden forced Ukraine to fire the prosecutor investigating his son’s company for corruption.”

Three weeks after Ukrainian officials raided the home of Burisma’s owner, who employed Hunter Biden, a U.S. representative for Burisma “sought a meeting with Undersecretary of State Catherine A. Novelli to discuss ending the corruption allegations against” the company. Hunter Biden was specifically mentioned in a February 2016 email between two State Department employees as a reason the Obama State Department should help quash the investigation.

On May 22, 2015, Hunter Biden set up a meeting with his father’s longtime trusted aide and Deputy Secretary of State Tony Blinken. That meeting occurred on May 27, 2015, and State Department records show that they met again for lunch on July 22, 2015. It’s not known what they discussed.

Devon Archer, who sat on the board of Burisma, met with Secretary of State John Kerry on March 2, 2016. “Devon Archer coming to see [Secrtary of State] today at 3pm – need someone to meet/greet him at C Street,” reads an email from Kerry’s office manager.

It’s clear that representatives of Burisma, including Hunter Biden, had multiple contacts inside the State Department while they were trying to quash multiple investigations into their company.

Shokin was fired because his investigation wasn’t in the best interest of the Bidens

When asked about his threat to withhold $1 billion from Ukraine to protect Burisma, Biden said he was simply carrying out the “official policy” of the Obama administration to root out corruption in Ukraine. “It was a fully transparent policy carried out in front of the whole world and fully, fully embraced by the international community of democracies,” he claimed.

But, according to Viktor Shokin, Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko told him not to investigate Burisma because it was not in the best interests of Joe and/or Hunter Biden.

Leaked audio posted to YouTube last month also proves that Joe Biden pushed for Shokin’s ouster despite there being no evidence of wrongdoing against him.

“Despite the fact that we did not have any corruption charges, we don’t have any information about him doing something wrong… I special [sic] asked him to resign,” Ukrainian president Poroshenko told Biden. Shokin also had the support of parliament.

Joe Biden has lied about his knowledge of Hunter’s business dealings

Joe Biden has repeatedly claimed that he never discussed his son’s business dealings, but these claims were previously undermined by the release of a photo showing the two Bidens playing golf with Devon Archer, and by Hunter Biden himself, who told The New Yorker back in July that they had discussed it at least once.

When you look at this evidence, none of it looks good for Joe Biden.

@Greg:

did you consider the remote possibility that he was accompanying his father, Vice President Joe Biden, on a trip that was part of the VP’s official itinerary? Such an obvious possibility would never cross your mind, would it?

What, can’t Joe score his own blow? No Blow Joe needs Hunter to hunt the blow? Maybe he needed to know where the best hookers are. Show us the official purpose Hunter ever served in the government. Unlike Trump’s adult children, Biden never had Hunter pushing any official agenda.

Nice try; silly and weak.

Hunter Biden flew a lot. He was involved in multinational business activities,

OH! Did you just write that out loud? You just NAILED Joe and Hunter! Great job, Nancy Drew!

You whiny crybabies have sought to impeach Trump since he won in 2016; you’ve been trying to fill in the blanks on charging documents; all you needed was a crime. You can’t find one. You can’t even INVENT one you can support with anything resembling evidence. No emoluments, no Russian collusion, no obstruction, no extortion… NOTHING. Yet here we have Biden clearly and explicitly extorting the Ukraine government solely to protect his son’s “job” and now we have clear evidence of Biden allowing his worthless, leaching son to use government resources to promote his own business interests (something YOU just admitted). As always, to know what illegal activities Democrats are involved in, just listen to what they are accusing others of.

If I were you, I wouldn’t be quite so anxious to find out what Giuliani has uncovered.

@July 4th American: You can lead a liberal to knowledge but you can’t make them know.

@Greg: You really must look up the definition of slander, the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person’s reputation these are government documents.
411 flights, with taxpayer paid for secret service.
It would not cost a whole lot extra if he was traveling with his dad, getting access to heads of state and important financial people all over the planet. Maybe he was there to help out fumbling Joe as he slipped into his current pathetic mental state.
Looking for financial opportunities for the Biden Crime family.
It is to funny you still have a knot in your thong over the taxes. The conspiracies you weave in your head over them quite amusing.
Rudys evidence is being vetted by investigators . Bet its difficult with the massive corruption that went on steroids after Biden was point man in Ukraine.
Corruption that included a Soros/State Department funded coup, and kicked off an invasion of the country.

Just how many of these trips did Hunter Biden take to China to set up a few dirty deals for his father running on the Democrats ticket

Grown “children” of presidential candidates are legitimate targets during campaigns.
So, Don Jr, Eric and Tiffany plus their significant others can all be investigated and exposed……if they’ve done anything wrong.
Ivanka and her spouse, Jared, both work (UNPAID) in the Trump Admin so they are also legitimate targets for accusations.

Funny how few accusations have been made against any of them considering how hard the leftist media is looking at them.

Then there’s Joe Biden’s family.
His wife, “the doctor,” has been exposed as not a doctor, but just a PhD in Education who shouldn’t be called “doctor” except by her fellow educators.
She is also complicit in elder abuse of Joe.
Joe and she have a daughter, Ashley who seems to be a social justice warrior who cares about dolphins.
She campaigns for Joe.
And she has some children.
Hunter is Joe and his 1st wife’s son.
He also has some children, altho Joe is not sure how many grandchildren he has by his own offspring.
Hunter’s background and activities are open season for use in campaigning against Joe for president.
If a man cannot parent his own family, how can he be entrusted to care for more than his family?
Joe’s covering for Hunter for so long after he reached adulthood is proof even he knew he hadn’t done a good job raising his son Hunter.
He’s a placeholder for the Dem’s real power behind the throne.
Don’t Dems have any curiosity about who that might be?

@Spurwing Plover: You can see the documents at the Judicial Watch website

Hunter Biden travel June 2020 FOIA

We now know that obama and biden intentionally targeted Lt General Flynn, Trump campaign, transition team as President Elect and early into the Trump administration.
The next shoe to drop will be to the extent that obama/biden shook down governments throughout the world for billions upon billions of dollars. hunter was the bag man. His sole purpose was to sell the obama/biden regime.

And we get the imbecilic response from the left, “uh huh, so what”

We being a shrinking crowd of rubes who have repeatedly swallowed such unproven b.s. hook, line, and sinker, and will no doubt continue to do so. Apparently being a rube has become a lifestyle choice. The cost is the surrender of reason, believing without question, and having your pockets picked.

Imbecile
The term imbecile was once used by psychiatrists to denote a category of people with moderate to severe intellectual disability, as well as a type of criminal. The word arises from the Latin word imbecillus, meaning weak, or weak-minded. It included people with an IQ of 26–50, between “idiot” and “moron”. In the obsolete medical classification, these people were said to have “moderate mental retardation” or “moderate mental subnormality” with IQ of 35–49.

Hollywood liberals want t o ban and have all privately owned guns confiscated as demanded by Hollywood airhead Matt Damon his movie THE GREAT WALL Bombed and the person he played in this putrid movie had quiver full of Arrows which were used to Kill People

@Greg:
So, no proof on your part, just hearsay and feelings.

@Michael:
That sounds suspiciously racist.

@Spurwing Plover: Hollywood liberals want to ban and have all privately owned guns confiscated as demanded by Hollywood airhead Matt Damon

I don’t know, SP.
Just last night Hollywood and Beverly Hills residential neighborhoods were taken over by protesters from Antifa and BLM screaming EAT THE RICH.
Guess what the “rich” did?
Called the police!
And wished they had guns.
Beverly Hills has imposed a curfew on itself between the hours of 9PM and 8AM.
The police arrested people based on them breaking the 1st Amendment….it was NOT a “peaceful” assembly as they were committing acts of theft, vandalism and terrorizing people.
The soy boy who led the protesters made like a rag doll upon arrest.

@Hotrodelectric, #21:

So, no proof on your part, just hearsay and feelings.

Actually, sock puppet, there has been news coverage of the profligate travel habits of Trump Daddy and his extended family on the taxpayers’ dime, and estimates made of the costs. Exact figures are hard to come by, as this is another example of “proprietary information”. (Security could be compromised if bad actors were to discover where the presidential family traveled to last year, and gain access to a functional time machine.) Related taxpayer costs make those of all past administrations pale in comparison.

You would not know this, of course, because it has only been reported by evil, non-approved mainstream media outlets.

April 10, 2020 – Trump family members had Secret Service protection on over 4,000 trips from 2017 to 2019: analysis

President Trump’s family members had Secret Service protection on more than 4,000 trips in the first three years of his term, according to figures released by a government watchdog group.

According to data obtained by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), Trump family members took 4,560 trips, many of which were to Trump-owned properties, from which the president still profits. The group also found that 40 percent of trips taken in 2019 were distinct from those that Trump and the first lady took.

“Every President and his family deserve Secret Service protection. But the President’s private business should reimburse taxpayers for money spent at Trump’s businesses or in support of them,” the watchdog group wrote in an announcement.

Trump was a vocal critic of former President Obama’s travel, saying Obama was spending too many days away from the White House.

However, the data compiled by CREW showed that the Trump family far surpassed the number of trips the Obama family took, with 1,625 trips annually compared with the Obama family’s 133.3.

May 22, 2019 – Trump’s Golfing has Cost Taxpayers $102 Million, Just $12.7 Million Behind Obama’s Travel During Entire Presidency: Report


The $102 million paid by Americans to cover security and travel expenses on the golf trips during Trump’s almost two and half years in office was about $12.7 million less than what Barack Obama and his family spent on travel during Obama’s eight years in the White House, according to documents obtained by Judicial Watch, a conservative government watchdog that relies on open records laws.

Crew has ties to David Brock. Brock is an ultra left wing dirtbag. But the board imbecile continues to demonstrate his mental incapacity.

If you think Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington is a “non-profit, non-partisan” watchdog group, think again.

In reality, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is a left-wing attack dog masquerading as a “non-partisan watchdog.”

An analysis of CREW’s “watchdog” activities reveals a systematic effort to disproportionately target Republicans and conservative-leaning groups with often-frivolous lawsuits, ethics complaints, and petitions for investigations by law enforcement agencies. An analysis of CREW’s past activities demonstrates that it disproportionately targets Republican members of Congress by a ratio of more than 9-to-1. At the same time, the corresponding federal oversight agencies responsible for investigating CREW’s complaints indicates that, historically, Democrats have been investigated far more often for ethics violations.

@Greg: Yes, but this isnt about Trump, the most productive President ever, this is about a Dead beat daddy, whore mongering drug addict, try to stay focused. You cant compare Trumps sober responsible kids to Bidens bad seed, even if Biden didnt allow him to go to school in a “racial jungle”, he certainly failed miserably as a parent.
It isnt even about Joe Bidens travel.

@July 4th American, #25:

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington didn’t make up the numbers that they’re reporting. The count of 4,560 Trump family member trips with Secret Service protection was provided by the Department of the Treasury.

@Greg: All of those children being Trump’s closest confidants in a sea of partisan back-stabbers.

Also they are all successful business people in their own right.

Hunter Biden is not.

Also they are all successful business people in their own right.

If they’re so damn successful at business they should focus on their businesses and get the hell out of government, at which they’re totally incompetent. I’m not even sure Trump is good at business. What he’s good at is The Art of the Con. Six corporate bankruptcies over 18 years doesn’t suggest he’s particularly good at turning a profit. It makes one wonder why Deutsche Bank loaned him millions more on the heals of a loan default when no other financial institution would touch him with a ten-foot pole. According to Forbes, he just lost another billion dollars due to COVID-19 clobbering the hotel and resort industry. Don’t tell me that didn’t enter into his push to reopen the economy ASAP at any risk. That’s got to be the granddaddy of all conflicts of interest.

@Greg: Stop with the lies reopening was each governors decision, well not Wisconsin we took it to court. Cant you make a single point with out lying?
Heels not heals. Again you cant compare Bidens demon spawn with Trumps children. Lets see Hunter out campaigning for dear old daddy.
