EXCLUSIVE: Hunter Biden Was Due To Receive ‘Significant’ Payments From Chinese Private Equity Firm Starting In 2019, Emails Show

• Hunter Biden was repeatedly told by his business partner in emails that he was set to receive payments from the Chinese private equity firm BHR Partners starting in 2019 and for years to come .
• “ BHR is due to have a significant distribution in 2019 because of the CATL exit , ” Eric Schwerin wrote in a November 2018 email to Hunter Biden .
• Schwerin also told Hunter Biden in December 2018 he can expect BHR to generate income for him “ over the next couple of years , ” one email shows .
• The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hunter Biden ’ s lawyer in October 2019 which stated he had not received any distributions from BHR .
Hunter Biden was repeatedly told by his business partner that he would begin receiving significant payments from a Chinese private equity firm starting in 2019 , emails obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation show .
The business partner , Eric Schwerin , also told Hunter Biden in a December 2018 email that the Chinese private equity firm , BHR Partners , would generate income for him “ over the next couple of years.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2019 statement issued from Hunter Biden ’ s lawyer , George Mesires , that said Biden had not received any return on his investment in BHR , nor had there been any distributions to the firm ’ s shareholders since he obtained his 10 % equity stake two years prior through his company , Skaneateles LLC .
The emails , which were located on a copy of Hunter Biden ’ s alleged laptop , show that he took out a $ 150,000 capital loan with one of BHR ’ s Chinese-based partners in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 420,000 investment into the firm that year .
When the loan came due in December 2018 , Schwerin advised Hunter Biden to extend the loan for another year so he could pay it back with future distributions .
“ Since BHR will be making distributions in 2019 far exceeding $ 150,000 it is a no brainer to extend the loan , ” Schwerin wrote to Hunter Biden and Mesires in a Dec. 20 , 2018 , email .
“ Of course , if we can execute the agreement as proposed 100 % of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Schwerin urged Hunter Biden in a follow-up email one week later , on Dec. 27 , to extend the loan , noting that BHR will serve as a revenue stream for him “ over the next couple of years.
” BHR is co-owned by the Chinese state-controlled Bank of China , business records for the firm show .
The firm states on its website it manages the equivalent of $ 2.1 billion in assets .
Schwerin told Hunter Biden in a Nov. 19 , 2018 , email that BHR was due to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” because of its exit from the Chinese battery manufacturer Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. , Limited ( CATL ) .
A Financial Times examination into Hunter Biden ’ s foreign business ties in October 2019 found that that BHR nearly doubled its investment in CATL .
The Chinese private equity firm sold its position in CATL for the equivalent of $ 30.1 million in 2018 after having invested the equivalent of $ 15.3 million in the battery manufacturer in 2015 .
An email Schwerin sent to Mesires on March 6 , 2019 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was extended .
“ BHR was valued at RMB 60m in November 2016 .
In today ’ s dollars that equates to $ 8.94m .
Skaneateles shares would therefore be valued at $ 894,000 , ” Schwerin wrote to Mesires in the email that was later forwarded to Hunter Biden .
“ I am attributing the full value of the shares even though there is a $ 150,000 loan due to BHR by Skaneateles because there is a high likelihood that there will be a distribution in 2019 that would repay the loan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” Schwerin added .
“ This is not even taking in consideration future distributions from exits of Henniges , Sinopec , and Face++ .
All of these investments are likely to be profitable for BHR.
” Schwerin ’ s emails to Hunter Biden in late 2018 and early 2019 appear to be part of negotiations between the two to end their business partnership after a falling out .
“ Whatever G. Fuck him … he forged my signature , ” Hunter Biden emailed Mesires on March 6 , 2019 , after asked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sent the lawyer earlier that day .
Among the areas of contention between Schwerin and Hunter Biden was their joint ownership in Skaneateles , the entity that holds Hunter Biden ’ s stake in BHR , according to the email .
“ My concession is that I truly owe him nothing … he owns 25 % of Skaneateles in revenue not equity , ” Hunter Biden wrote .
“ Revenue of which he is no longer due after he was fired 2 years ago or longer .
So fuck him.
” It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made any distributions to Hunter Biden in 2019 or 2020 .
Mesires did not return multiple requests for comment asking if Hunter Biden has received or expects to receive future payments from BHR .
Mesires also didn ’ t respond when asked if Hunter Biden ’ s $ 150,000 loan used to purchase equity in BHR has been paid off .
An attorney representing Schwerin did not return requests for comment .
Chinese business records accessed Wednesday show that Hunter Biden still holds his 10 % stake in BHR through his LLC despite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no one in his family would engage in business with foreign corporations or governments if he is elected president .

A woman was arrested and charged with child abuse after officers found her children beaten, burned and disfigured, The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Wednesday.
Cathalyn Davis was charged Dec. 8 with two counts of child abuse resulting in substantial bodily harm, which began in North Las Vegas in March, according to an arrest report obtained by the Review-Journal. There is a warrant out for her boyfriend and co-defendant, Jermaine Tatum.
Tatum allegedly beat Davis’ 2-year-old-son and 9-year-old daughter with TV cables, phone cords and belts, according to the arrest report. Tatum also allegedly burned Davis’ children with a welding torch, which caused “permanent disfigurement.” (RELATED: Couple Forced Child To Kneel On Tacks, Put Bottle Rocket In Mouth, Police Say)
Police said the woman’s children were permanently disfigured from being burned and beaten. #RJNow https://t.co/kbXONPOHF8 — Las Vegas Review-Journal (@reviewjournal) December 16, 2020
Investigators found more than 35 markings on the boy and over 74 burns on the girl, according to the report. An investigator in Missouri told the North Las Vegas police the children’s injuries the worst he had seen in twenty years and they gave him “goose bumps,” according to the report.
Davis, according to the report, told police she was usually at work but home sometimes at home when Tatum beat the children. She was released Dec. 9 after a hearing, the Review-Journal reported.
