Hunter isn’t the only Biden family member — aside from the president, that is — who is involved in international relations.
Hunter’s eldest daughter, Naomi, who was married on the South Lawn of the White House last year, provided “legal representation for the government of Peru in a case brought by Worth Capital Holdings 27 LLC, which claimed the country was interfering in their operation of an oil refinery in the southern Amazon,” according to the New York Post. “The company sought $590 million in damages.”
And while she was representing Peru, Naomi was living “for a few months” with her grandpa, President Joe Biden, at the White House, public records reveal.

Naomi, 29, “joined the Washington DC-based law firm Arnold & Porter in January 2021 — the same month Joe Biden was sworn in as the nation’s 46th president,” The Post reports.
According to Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) it points to yet another “major” conflict of interest for President Biden, who is currently facing an impeachment inquiry in the Republican-controlled House over his alleged involvement in Hunter’s shady overseas business dealings.
“Everywhere we look it seems there are major conflicts of interest in which the Biden family leveraged their name, access, and patriarch’s power to benefit personal business dealings,” Malliotakis told The Post. “All of this must continue to be investigated and exposed – perhaps Biden’s granddaughter should be the next person to come before the Oversight Committee.”
A spokesman for Arnold & Porter dismissed any notion that a conflict of interest exists for the Bidens.
“Naomi Biden’s international arbitration work doesn’t include matters involving the United States government — she is a junior lawyer and a member of international arbitration teams involving private sector plaintiffs,” the spokesperson told The Post. “She doesn’t discuss confidential client work with anyone inside or outside the White House.”
“The law firm refused to say whether Naomi Biden had represented any other foreign nations since joining,” The Post notes.
But Hunter Biden’s daughter has figured into her father’s questionable foreign escapades.
According to The Post:
When Naomi Biden went on to Columbia Law School, Hunter Biden attempted to deduct her tuition, according to IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler.
When Hunter Biden visited Monaco in 2016 for a meeting of the board of Burisma, the shady Ukrainian energy company that had Hunter on its payroll, Naomi came along — in part to celebrate her recent graduation from the University of Pennsylvania.
Photo and video from the event show Naomi Biden posing with Burisma CEO Mykola Zlochevsky and chatting up his daughter Karina Zlochevsky.
“She is very excited to join us. Maybe we can find her a job now that she’s graduating college,” Hunter Biden told Vadym Pozharsky, the company’s chief financial officer, according to emails from his abandoned laptop.
When Naomi Biden was a student at the University of Pennsylvania, professors urged her to cash in on her name in China.
“Don’t be shy,” Hunter Biden advised her of the idea, according to messages contained on his abandoned laptop.
In June, IRS whistleblowers Joseph Ziegler and Gary Shapley Jr. testified before Congress that a Department of Justice official, Assistant United States Attorney Lesley Wolf, warned them that they would get into “hot water” if they attempted to interview Naomi or President Biden’s other grandchildren as part of their federal probe into Hunter’s dealings.
