The White House reportedly issued a false statement denying a meeting between Joe Biden and an executive from Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, despite public evidence to the contrary.

Joe Biden met with Burisma executive Vadim Pozharskyi at a spring 2015 dinner in Washington, D.C., according to an email on Hunter Biden’s laptop archive and testimony from former Hunter Biden business associate Devon Archer. In October 2021, the White House denied Joe Biden had an encounter with Pozharskyi in a statement to Politico, the outlet reported Sunday.

“Does this rule out any informal encounter with Pozharskyi in April 2015?” Politico asked the White House. “Yes,” a White House spokesperson replied.

Politico followed up with the White House following Archer’s July testimony before the House Oversight Committee. The White House did not answer a question about Joe Biden’s dinner with Pozharskyi, instead denying Joe Biden’s involvement with Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings.

“As we have said many times before, the President was not in business with his son or anyone else in the family, and House Republicans’ own witnesses, including Devon Archer, have testified that the President never even discussed business with his son,” a second White House spokesperson told the outlet.

Archer testified about how Joe Biden spoke with his son’s foreign business associates on 20 occasions, including a spring 2014 dinner with Russian oligarch Elena Baturina and the spring 2015 dinner attended by Pozharskyi. He also said the Biden family “brand” protected Burisma and allowed the firm to stay in business.

Burisma was paying Hunter Biden more than $80,000 per month at the time then-VP Biden met Pozharskyi, according to bank records released in August by the Oversight Committee. Hunter Biden had no prior experience with Ukraine or the energy industry when he took a position on Burisma’s board.

Pozharskyi sent Hunter Biden an email in April 2015 thanking the younger Biden for allowing him to meet the vice president, the New York Post first reported ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” Pozharskyi emailed Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015.

The contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop have been verified by the Daily Caller News Foundation, New York Times, Washington Post and other media outlets. IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley testified in May to the House Ways and Means Committee and said the laptop contents were authenticated by the FBI as early as November 2019.

Hunter Biden’s former business associate Tony Bobulinski told the FBI the New York Post’s reporting was real in an October 2020 interview, according to an FBI FD-302 interview summary released in September by the Ways and Means Committee.

Biden’s defense attorney Abbe D. Lowell wrote a letter in October demanding Biden-appointed U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves investigate Bobulinski for alleged false statements to the FBI, NBC News first reported Friday.

Bobulinski issued a statement to the Washington Free Beacon Friday denying Lowell’s accusations and demanding the Biden family testify before Congress.

“All of the allegations contained in Mr Lowell’s 10-page letter to U.S. Attorney Graves are patently false, and I look forward to exposing these lies and laying out the facts in a public forum in short order,” Bobulinski told the outlet.

“If Hunter Biden and the Biden family are so determined to ensure that the full truth is put before the American People, Hunter, Jim, Joe and I should all appear together before Congress, publicly and under oath. They can name the date, time and place and I would certainly be willing to do that for the American people.”

Hunter Biden is suing Delaware computer repairman John Mac Isaac, former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and former Trump aide Garrett Ziegler for disseminating the contents of the laptop.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
