In 2015, according to emails extracted from the National Archives, then-Vice President Joe Biden’s communications director, Kate Bedingfield, informed Hunter Biden’s top aide of a detrimental document from Bloomberg reporter Margaret Talev.
This was a document regarding the family’s business relationships in Ukraine.
Reporter Wouldn’t Report the Truth
The emails are just another document that shows Joe Biden’s White House team and the business empire had a good working connection, according to partner Eric Schwerin, who is ostensibly collaborating with House investigators.
In response to Schwerin’s question about a potential Bloomberg article about Hunter’s work at Burisma and another about his discharge from the Navy, Bedingfield said, without a doubt, they’ve already had two chats about it.
She won’t use it unless her editors threaten her with a gun. It seems Bloomberg did print the report on December 8, the very day of the communication, in spite of Bedingfield’s attempts to stop it from happening.

Margaret Talev is currently a political commentator for CNN and the managing editor for politics at Axios. In contrast, Bedingfield departed the White House in 2023, just when the House Oversight Committee’s probe into the current president got going.
Bedingfield Dodges Questions
While telling Schwerin the story could never run, Bedingfield recited a script that Biden frequently used to deflect attention from any potential involvement in the family business.
A New York Times piece about the family’s business in Ukraine prompted the discussion.

Bedingfield told Schwerin, mentioning her commentary about Joe Biden, that the then-VP just concluded an interview with the Bloomberg journalist.
Also, she inquired about it; although Bedingfield promised her she is doing whatever she can to avoid employing it.
No one has any doubts about their record regarding corruption, Bedingfield said, adding that she doesn’t discuss her children’s business with her son and has great faith in him.
