AI Discussion

Me: It's about a new report from Insider that reveals yet another shady transaction involving the Biden family. It appears that a buyer of Hunter Biden's artworks is a "friend" of the family who received a direct benefit from the Biden White House. On top of that, it appears that Hunter has privately suggested that he could arrange to have friends seated on the commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad - the same post that this buyer received.

Friend: Wow, that's really concerning. It sounds like there could be an issue with potential pay-to-play schemes and conflicts of interest.

Me: Definitely. And it's unclear whether the art purchase happened before or after the buyer was appointed to the commission, which could make a big difference. There are also reports that there is a mystery buyer who purchased 11 of Hunter Biden's artworks for $875,000, but the identity of the buyer is unknown. It's really concerning that the Biden family seems to be so close to these people who are receiving direct benefits from the White House.
