• Hunter Biden served on the board of a trade group that lobbied for increased spending on international aid , including for Ukraine .
• Biden ’ s association with the U.S .
Global Leadership Coalition and its close affiliate , the Center for U.S .
Global Leadership , has gone unexplored in the coverage of his business dealings .
• While affiliated with the groups , Biden joined the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings .
Hunter Biden was on the board of a trade coalition that lobbied the Obama administration in 2014 on foreign assistance to Ukraine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a State Department meeting for the group ’ s president .
Biden ’ s links to the U.S .
Global Leadership Coalition ( USGLC ) and its affiliate , the Center for U.S .
Global Leadership , have gone largely unreported in the coverage of his various business dealings , which have caused a headache for his father as he runs for president .
The Bidens have been dogged by allegations that the younger Biden profited off of his last name .
Similar allegations have followed organizations like Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a director in April 2014 , despite his having no experience in the energy industry .
USGLC , which lobbies and advocates for increased spending in the State Department ’ s International Affairs Budget , added a series of Ukraine-related bills to its lobbying portfolio at around the same time , lobbying disclosures show .
Biden ’ s private equity firm , Rosemont Seneca , was by far the smallest company of any of the directors on USGLC or the Center for U.S .
Global Leadership .
Other directors have included executives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Walmart , Intel , Chevron , and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce .
Think tanks such as the Bipartisan Policy Center and the American Enterprise Institute are represented on the group ’ s boards , as are officials with well-known NGOs like Save the Children and CARE , the anti-poverty group .
But what Rosemont Seneca lacked in terms of assets and name recognition it made up for in access to key figures in the Obama administration , with Joe Biden being at the top of the list .
Beyond that valuable connection @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Archer was a former adviser on Obama Sec .
of State John Kerry ’ s 2004 presidential campaign .
A third partner , Christopher Heinz , is Kerry ’ s son-in-law .
( RELATED : ‘ You Don ’ t Get More Politically Connected ’ : Participants In Securities Fraud Scam Touted Links To Hunter Biden ) The value of those political connections was highlighted in text messages cited in an unrelated criminal case against Archer .
“ Hunter Biden works for [ Archer ] .
So we ’ ve got the top @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my guys , is as top tier as it gets , ” a businessman named Bevan Cooney wrote in text messages released in Archer ’ s case .
“ You don ’ t get more politically connected and make people more comfortable than that.
” Hunter Biden has publicly referred to himself as a member of USGLC ’ s board , though he was technically a director of the Center for U.S .
Global Leadership .
Tax filings show that Biden was on the center ’ s board from 2012 through 2018 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ groups , Biden joined the board of Burisma Holdings .
The company , owned by Mykola Zlochevsky , who served as minister of natural resources under former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych , paid Rosemont Seneca , Biden ’ s firm , more than $ 80,000 a month , according to publicly available records .
That partnership raised some eyebrows at the time because of Joe Biden ’ s role as the Obama administration ’ s main point man on Ukraine issues .
Like many Ukrainian firms , especially those in the energy business @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Hunter Biden ’ s link to the company was seen as undermining his father ’ s anti-corruption initiatives .
As part of his Ukraine initiative , Joe Biden pushed for increased aid to the former Soviet republic in the wake of its overthrow in February 2014 of Yanukovych , the Ukrainian president .
But in 2016 , he would threaten to withhold $ 1 billion in loan assistance to Ukraine that was made available through some of the very same legislation for which USGLC and some of its business partners lobbied .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ following Yanukovych ’ s ouster .
The group , which advocates and lobbies for increased spending in the State Department ’ s International Affairs Budget , added Ukraine to its portfolio of lobbying issues in April 2014 , according to lobbying disclosure form filed with Congress .
USGLC is not well known outside of Washington , D.C .
Founded in the mid-1990s , the coalition is made up of more than 400 major corporations and non-government organizations ( NGOs ) , a mix that has earned the group the nickname the “ strange @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( RELATED : Consultant For Firm Linked To Hunter Biden Sought State Department Meeting To Downplay Corruption Concerns ) Erik Lundsgaarde , a political scientist with the German Development Institute , wrote in “ The Domestic Politics of Foreign Aid , ” that USGLC formed in response to “ dramatic budgetary cutbacks affecting aid spending.
” “ The goal of the founders of the USGLC was to build a coalition capable of conducting professional lobbying to stave off further spending reductions and to advocate funding increases , ” Lundsgaarde wrote .
The group @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development ( USAID ) are its biggest targets — but also hosts events that allow members to rub shoulders with policymakers , diplomats and other corporate executives .
One of those events was held in Washington on Dec. 13 , 2013 , to honor Joe Biden for his advocacy for increased international spending .
Marillyn Hewson , the CEO of Lockheed Martin , the defense and aerospace giant , introduced Hunter Biden to in turn introduce his father as the honoree of the event @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of using the coalition formed by USGLC to improve conditions in impoverished countries .
But she also spoke candidly about the financial benefits for USGLC ’ s corporate partners of increased international aid spending .
“ For Lockheed Martin and the hundreds of business that are gathered here tonight , there is simply no choice about whether to be engaged in important global issues , ” Hewson said .
“ Today , 95 % of the world ’ s consumer ’ s live outside of the U.S. and over half of our exports @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the developing world , a number that ’ s only going to grow .
The International Affairs Budget is absolutely critical to our future.
” Hewson then introduced Hunter Biden , touting his “ strong relationship with our organization , and more importantly , a very special relationship with our honoree.
” Biden introduced himself at the event as a board member of USGLC rather than the Center for U.S .
Global Leadership .
“ USGLC is an important organization , and I am very proud to serve on their board , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe Biden offered a full-throated defense of increases to the international aid budget ; an endorsement that was in line with USGLC ’ s initiative .
Biden also praised Raj Shah , the then-administrator of USAID who shares the name of a former Trump White House official , as “ one hell of an effective guy.
” He said how he had recently talked to Yanukovych and urged him to negotiate with opposition parties , and set foot on a path to democracy .
“ We hope he leads his country back to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ help because it ’ s in the fundamental interests of the United States that Ukraine succeed , ” Biden said .
“ The door is open but the Ukrainian people have to know that America stands with them on the side of universal rights , democratic principles and economic assistance.
” He also mentioned Elizabeth Schrayer , the president and CEO of USGLC and the Center .
“ Liz , we ’ ve worked a lot together on foreign policy and other iterations , as well as here , ” he said .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in her own right , Hunter Biden appears to also have helped her obtain access to the Obama administration .
“ Sorry for the late thank you — appreciate you taking the meeting with Liz last week , ” Hunter Biden wrote in an email on March 15 , 2013 , to David Wade , the chief of staff to then-Sec .
of State John Kerry .
“ When things settle ( relatively speaking ) lets grab coffee.
” A spokesman for USGLC said the meeting was an introductory meeting between the coalition @ @ @ @ @ @ @ State Department .
“ Over the past two decades , we ’ ve met with every Chief of Staff – Republican and Democratic Administrations – to talk about our work to strengthen support for the State Department .
This was a typical introductory meeting with some of our leadership , ” USGLC spokesman Sidney Traynham told the Daily Caller News Foundation .
Months after Joe Biden ’ s remarks at the USGLC event , after the Ukrainian evolution led to Yanukovych ’ s ouster , President Obama tapped his vice president to help @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which included a fight against corruption .
Hunter Biden and USGLC took interest in Ukraine at around the same time .
Lobbying records show that USGLC paid $ 50,000 to lobby on a host of foreign aid measures in 2014 , including several bills to provide billions of dollars in aid and assistance to Ukraine .
Its lobbying disclosure forms from April , July and October 2014 list lobbying activities on four separate Ukraine-related bills , including the Support for the Sovereignty , Integrity , Democracy and Economic Stability of Ukraine Act @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and the Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014 .
Several USGLC coalition members lobbied separately for Ukraine-related issues during the same time frame .
Cargill , Coca-Cola , Chevron , Caterpillar and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce all lobbied on Ukraine-related bills in 2014 and 2015 .
Traynham , the spokesman for USGLC and the Center for U.S .
Global Leadership , said USGLC is broadly focused on increased spending on international development , and that the Ukrainian revolution in 2014 was a natural focus for the organization .
He did not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anyone from the trade coalition .
“ The Center for U.S .
Global Leadership is a non-profit organization and individuals volunteer their time to serve on our board to advance our mission to create a better , safer world , ” Trayham said in a statement .
“ The organization advocates on only one issue : the overall importance of the International Affairs Budget , which seeks to strengthen America ’ s global leadership through diplomacy and global development , ” he added .
The statement also said that Hunter Biden joined the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as Chairman of the World Food Program USA.
” Biden was on the board of the organization , but USGLC and the Center for U.S .
Global Leadership cited his affiliation with Rosemont Seneca , the private equity firm , on its website .
In a twist of irony , Joe Biden would later use U.S. aid to Ukraine that was provided through Sovereignty , Integrity , Democracy and Economic Stability of Ukraine Act of 2014 to influence Yanukovych ’ s successor as president , Petro Poroshenko .
Joe Biden leveraged the third @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Viktor Shokin , who served as Ukraine ’ s general prosecutor .
Biden ’ s maneuver was not known until January 2018 , when the future Democratic presidential candidate bragged at a Council on Foreign Relations event that he dangled the loan assistance over Poroshenko to get him to fire Shokin .
“ And I went over , I guess , the 12th , 13th time to Kiev .
And I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee .
And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the state prosecutor .
And they didn ’ t , ” Biden said at the event .
He said as they were going to an event , he told his Ukrainian counterparts that he was not going to provide the billion dollars .
“ They said , ‘ you have no authority .
You ’ re not the president , ' ” Biden recalled .
“ I said , ‘ I ’ m telling you , you ’ re not getting the billion dollars.
’ I said , ‘ you ’ re not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to be leaving here in , ’ I think it was about six hours .
I looked at them and said : ‘ I ’ m leaving in six hours .
If the prosecutor is not fired , you ’ re not getting the money . '
” “ Well , son of a bitch , he got fired .
And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.
” The U.S. and Ukraine signed an agreement for the loan support months later , on June 3 , 2016 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ remarks and Hunter Biden ’ s role with Burisma to accuse Joe Biden of corruption .
Rudy Giuliani , the lawyer for Trump , discovered and began hyping the Biden video from 2018 as evidence of corruption on the part of the former vice president .

That call eventually led to Trump ’ s impeachment after a CIA whistleblower alleged in a complaint @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden has denied ever intervening with Poroshenko on behalf of his son , or Burisma .

Erik Lundsgaarde, a political scientist with the German Development Institute, wrote in “The Domestic Politics of Foreign Aid,” that USGLC formed in response to “dramatic budgetary cutbacks affecting aid spending.”
“The goal of the founders of the USGLC was to build a coalition capable of conducting professional lobbying to stave off further spending reductions and to advocate funding increases,” Lundsgaarde wrote.

“The door is open but the Ukrainian people have to know that America stands with them on the side of universal rights, democratic principles and economic assistance.”
He also mentioned Elizabeth Schrayer, the president and CEO of USGLC and the Center.
“Liz, we’ve worked a lot together on foreign policy and other iterations, as well as here,” he said.
While Schrayer is deeply connected in Washington in her own right, Hunter Biden appears to also have helped her obtain access to the Obama administration.

thedailycaller--2020-02-18--No, Border Crossings Have Not Increased In El Paso. News Sites Mislead On Border Data

• The Raw Story and the Inquisitr ran articles with headlines that suggested the president ’ s new border wall in the El Paso sector was leading to higher illegal border crossings .
• However , both articles simply reported the number of single adults who have been apprehended , comparing the numbers this fiscal year to the same time period last fiscal year .
• In actuality , total apprehensions in the El Paso sector have dropped nearly 57 % when you include data of all demographics — single adults , unaccompanied minors , and family units .

The Raw Story and the Inquisitr ran articles with headlines that suggested the president’s new border wall in the El Paso sector was leading to higher illegal border crossings.
However, both articles simply reported the number of single adults who have been apprehended, comparing the numbers this fiscal year to the same time period last fiscal year.
In actuality, total apprehensions in the El Paso sector have dropped nearly 57% when you include data of all demographics — single adults, unaccompanied minors, and family units.
At least two news sites reported that border crossings in the El Paso sector have increased because of newly erected border wall, but apprehensions in that area have actually fallen substantially, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.
The Raw Story and the Inquisitr ran stories Monday with headlines that suggested President Donald Trump’s border wall in the El Paso sector has led to an increase in apprehensions, but these articles either included cherry-picked data or omitted other data entirely that paints a dramatically different picture of what’s taking place in the region.
In the case of The Raw Story article — which was wired from the New Civil Rights Movement — the headline read “Illegal border crossings ‘nearly double’ thanks to $5 ladders that easily hook onto Trump’s new replacement wall.” The article linked to a story from The Independent about illegal migrants using cheap ladders to cross newly built barrier on the U.S.-Mexico border.
“President Donald Trump has diverted billions of dollars from the Pentagon to ensure his campaign promise to ‘build a wall’ from coast to coast is being kept before the November 2020 election. But what if that wall was not only ineffective, but led to more illegal border crossings?” the author of the article began.
The author later quoted a sentence from The Independent that said “Border Patrol apprehensions of single adults — those most likely to use the ladder method — have nearly doubled in the El Paso sector.”
The Raw Story article then laid out data to back up its argument: “In just a few months, from October 2019 to January 2020 Border Patrol agents apprehended 10,030 people, ‘compared with 5,150 in the same period a year ago.'”
Have border apprehensions increased in the El Paso sector compared to this time period past fiscal year? No. The numbers have actually dropped precipitously.
From October 2018 to January 2019, total apprehensions in the El Paso sector hit 34,788, according to data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This number encompasses all apprehensions, which includes unaccompanied minors, family units, and single adults. Total apprehensions for the same time period this fiscal year stood at 19,812. That’s a decrease of nearly 57%.
How did The Raw Story get its number? It only reported the apprehensions of single adults — which did see an increase — and ignored the steep drop of family unit and unaccompanied minor apprehensions. The massive drop of family units in particular — from 25,788 last fiscal year to 8,085 this fiscal year — accounted for a significant portion of the total drop.
The Inquisitr article, for its part, falsely reported that apprehensions in the El Paso have risen, without even specifying that the numbers referred to single adults.
“Another border agent, Ramiro Cordero, confirmed that illegal crossings are up, most likely due to the simple ladder. Last year, the area saw just over 5,000 apprehensions. This year, over 10,000 were apprehended,” the Inquisitr article reads, reporting only the arrest of single adults.
The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to The Raw Story and Inquisitr for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.
Enforcement actions, which include apprehensions and inadmissables, along the entire U.S.-Mexico border have dropped for eight straight months, falling from peak of over 144,000 in May to just over 36,600 in January, the last month for which we have available information, according to CBP data.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Tuesday that it is waiving 10 laws pertaining to procurement regulations, including requirements for open competition, the justification of selections and accepting all bonding from a contractor prior to construction, according to The Associated Press. The move will allow the administration to build 177 miles of new wall more expeditiously in New Mexico, California and Texas.
Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf lauded the move during a Tuesday interview.
“Congress has given the department authority to waive a number of laws and regulations when it comes to building border barriers and border roads. The department has used that authority 21 times — mostly waiving environmental regulations and laws,” Wolf said Tuesday on Fox News.
“We will start waiving those for procurement-related regulations and laws as well, which allow us to speed up a lot of our contracts that the Army Corps has, anywhere from 30 to 45 to 60 days. We hope that will accelerate some of the construction going on in the Southwest border,” Wolf continued.
More specifically, the waivers will pave the way for 94 walls to be built before the end of this year, allowing the Trump administration to tout that much more completed wall in the run-up to the November elections. The remaining 83 miles will eventually be completed, but it’s not certain if construction will finish by this year.

The announcement came after the Trump administration announced on Feb. 13 it’s reallocating a total of $3.8 billion from other funds to support wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border. The White House, to the chagrin of congressional Democrats, has more than once used its authority to shift federal funds for barrier construction. Congress has twice attempted — and failed — to revoke President Donald Trump’s emergency declaration, which allows him to unilaterally reallocate funds.
Immigration enforcement remains at the top of Trump’s agenda, most particularly the construction of a vast border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott announced Monday that the administration has so far completed 121 miles of new border wall. Trump has set an ambitious goal of 450 miles by the close of 2020.
