Hunter Biden lobbied the US government in 2016 to seek assistance for Ukrainian energy company Burisma while his father was Vice President, according to newly released documents. Hunter wrote to then-US Ambassador to Rome John Phillips on behalf of Burisma as he was a board member. The request was for an introduction to meet with the head of the regional government in Tuscany regarding a geothermal energy project Burisma was pursuing. US officials responded cautiously and said the government should not actively advocate for a Ukrainian company without going through proper channels.
