The recipients of the money after the Bladon Enterprises deposits included EEIG (James
Gilliar), Hunter Biden, Hallie Biden, Owasco P.C., RSTP

II, LLC, and an unknown Biden
bank account. The Committee continues to investigate why Hallie Biden, a reported school
counselor,

would receive any payments after the Bladon Enterprises deposit was made into
the Robinson Walker, LLC bank account.
As reported by NBC News, “Hunter Biden’s work for Popoviciu in 2016 went unreported at
the time, but Joe Biden’s involvement in Romania was very much public. The vice president
was among the leading voices pushing the government to crack down on corruption.”
26
According to the New York Times, Hunter Biden’s attorney, George Mesires, “acknowledged
that Hunter Biden referred Mr. Popoviciu to both Boies Schiller Flexner, the law firm where
Hunter Biden worked at the time, and Mr. [Louis] Freeh’s firm, Freeh Group International
Solutions.”
27
To be clear, the $3 million in payments to Robinson Walker, LLC was not
from Boies Schiller Flexner or Freeh Group International Solutions—the money was wired
directly from Bladon Enterprises.
The Committee is investigating why the Bidens used Robinson Walker, LLC to receive
money from what a news report has described as “a side pocket agreement directly with
Popoviciu . . . .”

After certain Bladon Enterprises deposits were made, the Biden bank
accounts received over $1 million in payments via Robinson Walker, LLC. It appears from
bank records the Bidens were using Robinson Walker, LLC to conceal that the source of
these payments was Popoviciu.
The Committee is further concerned that while Vice President Biden advocated publicly for
anti-corruption policies in Romania, bank records show Biden family members and business
associates were simultaneously reaping in significant amounts of money from a Romanian
individual at the center of a Romanian corruption scandal. This illustrates the need for more
robust financial disclosures regarding a president’s or vice president’s immediate family
members who receive money from foreign companies and foreign nationals.
The Committee is investigating Hunter Biden and his business associates’ engagement with
U.S. government officials on behalf of Popoviciu.

Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners. “Rosemont Seneca” is a recurring naming convention for Hunter Biden
affiliated entities, and a few examples the Committee has discovered connected—directly or indirectly—to Hunter

Thornton, and Rosemont Seneca Realty.
