Hunter Biden attended the White House Easter Egg Rool on Monday despite questionable business dealings revealed from his notorious laptop that sparked GOP demands to investigate the President's son.

Hunter Biden, whose questionable overseas business connections are bringing him and his father, President Joe Biden, more attention, attended the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday with his wife and 2-year-old son.

During Monday afternoon's Easter celebration, the first son was seen carrying his own kid as wife Melissa Cohen looked on. This was the first Easter celebration at the White House since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as per NY Post.

Hunter Biden, Family Appear at White House Easter Egg Roll

Hunter Biden hadn't been seen since March 30, when the Washington Post confirmed the legitimacy of the emails from Biden's infamous laptop, which had been initially reported on by the New York Post a year and a half before. Just two weeks prior, the New York Times had also affirmed the validity of the emails. The ceremony, which drew hundreds of children and adults to the White House grounds on Monday, took place in drizzly weather and beneath overcast sky.

Ashley Biden, the president's daughter, and Natalie Biden, the daughter of Beau Biden, the president's son who died of brain cancer in 2015, were among those who attended the egg roll. Hunter Biden, who was working at the law firm Boise, Schiller, Flexner at the time, was appointed to the board of directors of Ukrainian gas business Burisma Holdings for a five-year tenure in 2014.

While he didn't have a lot of energy business knowledge, he had previous corporate board experience, and it's not uncommon for corporations to recruit board members who don't have a lot of industry experience. During his time, which ended in 2019, Hunter Biden was described as a "useful non-executive director with a prominent name" who "offered guidance on legal challenges, corporate finance, and strategy," as per The Independent.

While Hunter Biden was on the board of Burisma, the Obama administration was pressuring Ukraine's government, led by then-President Petro Poroshenko, to fire his top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin.

Joe Biden, as vice president, had been tasked with managing US-Ukraine relations as part of his extensive portfolio, and he told Poroshenko that Shokin would have to resign if Ukraine was to benefit from $1 billion in IMF loan guarantees, as directed by President Obama and with the support of the EU and other US allies. During a 2018 event hosted by the Council of Foreign Relations, he recalled his 2016 conversation with Poroshenko.

Democrats Reject Attempts To Upload Hunter Biden's Laptop

Meanwhile, according to a new report, Democratic officials on the House Judiciary Committee are refusing to transfer the contents of Hunter Biden's seized laptop into the congressional record in a searchable manner. During a March 29 hearing, Representative Matt Gaetz (R., Fla.) sought to enter the laptop, which the younger Biden reportedly left with a Delaware repair shop. Despite initially intending to object to the request, committee chairman Representative Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.) agreed to allow the laptop to be placed into the record.

According to the Daily Caller, workers chosen by Nadler are now claiming that they are unable to transfer the laptop owing to technological restrictions. They claim Gaetz's office is required to print hard copies and PDF-format documents of pages to be put into the record, despite the fact that Gaetz's office volunteered to supply the necessary equipment for the digital transfer, according to a Republican worker.

The House rules compel committee employees to submit record entries, but the workers' failure to digitally transfer the contents of the laptop has forced Gaetz's office to create duplicates with its own resources.
