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

- 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.
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?
The words of an imbecile…
@Greg:
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:
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:
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:
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
Burisma was under a corruption investigation at the time of the deal
The program was championed by one of Joe Biden’s key advisers
Hunter Biden was directly communicating with the Obama state department before Shokin was fired
The State Department ‘raised alarms’ about Hunter Biden’s position at Burisma
Shokin was fired because his investigation wasn’t in the best interest of the Bidens
Joe Biden has lied about his knowledge of Hunter’s business dealings
https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/matt-margolis/2020/06/26/does-a-newly-released-document-prove-hunter-biden-was-selling-access-to-obama-administration-n579312
@Greg:
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.
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
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.
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:
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
May 22, 2019 – Trump’s Golfing has Cost Taxpayers $102 Million, Just $12.7 Million Behind Obama’s Travel During Entire Presidency: Report
Crew has ties to David Brock. Brock is an ultra left wing dirtbag. But the board imbecile continues to demonstrate his mental incapacity.
@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.
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.

@Greg: How do you know they aren’t lying?
Greg says its garbage when faced with documentation changes the subject.
