“Tony Blinken, the Biden administration’s nominee for Secretary of State, managed a Joe Biden project that received millions of anonymous Chinese donor dollars. Blinken appeared a handful of times in emails found on Hunter Biden’s laptop agreeing to advise Hunter Biden when Hunter worked at the scandal-plagued firm Rosemont Seneca Partners. The Obama State Department set up a meeting between Hunter and Blinken which was postponed, and the two met two months later in 2015.
Hunter Biden coordinated introductions between Blinken and his associates and Blinken was named in an email in connection to a shady prospective deal involving the federal government and Amtrak, a company that previously had Hunter Biden on its board. National File, which obtained most of the contents of Hunter’s laptop, features the most relevant Tony Blinken-Hunter Biden emails below.
Will these issues complicate Blinken’s bid to become Joe Biden’s Secretary of State? Blinken sat for his confirmation hearing, where he counted neocon support including from Lindsey Graham. But Blinken has yet to be confirmed by the Senate. Blinken’s nomination heads to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Monday with a confirmation vote this week. Blinken’s link to Biden’s China dealings is especially concerning.
Hunter Biden Received An Email About An Amtrak Deal In 2017 That Named Blinken:
Blinken wrote to Hunter agreeing to a meeting with a Hunter associate, October 3, 2012:
November 2012, Hunter tried to set up a meeting for his associate with Blinken:
Meeting in May 2015: The Obama State Department actually SETS UP the meeting for Hunter with Blinken at the State Department. This meeting reportedly did not occur supposedly due to Beau Biden’s death, even though Beau died three days after the meeting was scheduled, but Hunter met with Blinken in July 2015.
May 2015, Hunter’s assistant at Rosemont Seneca discusses the scheduled Blinken meeting:
Hunter schedules a meeting in July 2015. This meeting did occur.

Yaacov Aplebaum shared an email from the Hunter laptop that confirms this:
Even crazy Senator John McCain had problems with Blinken.
In 2014 McCain blocked Blinken’s appointment by Obama over Obama’s Iraq policy:
U.S. Senator John McCain said on Thursday he is blocking President Barack Obama’s nomination of Anthony Blinken as the country’s number two diplomat, citing sharp disagreement with the nominee’s past statements on Iraq. “He’s totally unqualified,” the Republican senator told Reuters, when asked why he was holding up Blinken’s nomination to be deputy Secretary of State. “He’s the guy who said we’re leaving behind the richest, safest Iraq in history. Look it up,” McCain said, referring to Blinken’s reassuring comments two years ago about the decision to withdraw all U.S. troops from Iraq.
Blinken’s friends, including Hunter, were appalled that McCain would call Blinken ‘unqualified’ per another email found on Hunter’s laptop:
The Senate on January 26, 2021, easily confirmed Tony Blinken to be President Biden’s secretary of state.
Blinken won broad bipartisan support in the 78-22 vote. He previously was deputy secretary of state under former President Barack Obama. (New York Post, 1/26/2021)
