Hunter Biden is currently being investigated by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for tax affairs and foreign business dealings, while a GOP-led House panel is also probing President Joe Biden and his family over their business dealings to assess whether national security had been compromised.
Top staff members of Hunter Biden’s now-defunct investment firm paid visits to the White House on over 80 occasions when his father, Joe Biden, occupied the position of vice president in the Barack Obama administration, according to a US media report, citing visitor logs.
Amid the dual investigations into Hunter Biden's financial dealings, President Joe Biden has repeatedly denied his participation in his son’s shady business dealings.
The Oversight and Accountability Committee of the GOP-led House of Representatives is currently carrying out an investigation into the financial dealings of President Biden’s family. Furthermore, federal prosecutors with the US attorney's office in Delaware have been investigating Hunter Biden since 2018 for tax fraud, money laundering and illegal foreign lobbying.

Joan Mayer

The new media report reveals, citing visitor logs, that at least 17 visits were made to the White House by Joan Mayer, who was purportedly vice president of Hunter Biden’s now-defunct investment firm Rosemont Seneca Advisors, from 2008 to 2017.
For example, in October 2009, Mayer is seen to have attended a vice presidential briefing and met with then-Biden aide Danielle Borrin. There were also meetings between Mayer and then-Biden executive assistant Nancy Orloff in the WH’s West Wing, logs show. Kellen Suber, executive assistant to then-VP Biden met Joan Mayer in July 2013, according to the logs.
There was also apparently a spate of end-of-year holiday receptions at the VP’s White House residence at Number One Observatory Circle in 2013 and 2014, among other encounters, including at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) – home to the VP’s ceremonial office – in 2016.

Anne Marie Person

Anne Marie Person is another former assistant of Hunter Biden’s outfit. She is said to have paid no less than five trips to the White House during Barack Obama’s stint as POTUS.
Person quit Hunter’s investment company in 2014 to join then-Vice President Biden's staff as an assistant in May that same year, the report added. In April 2014, she met with a former Biden aide - Kathy Chung, who is now the Pentagon's deputy director of protocol.
Person’s brother, Francis, is described as a longtime Biden aide who left the post months after Anne Marie joined the ranks of Biden's office staff. Francis "Fran" Person visited the White House at least seven times between 2015 and 2016 after becoming head of Harves Group, a company with ties to the Chinese Communist Party, the outlet reported last year, aslo referring to WH visitor logs. Person, however, claimed that "Hunter Biden, Rosemont Seneca Advisors or any affiliate or associate have never held any equity in any Harves affiliated company," despite emails sent by Hunter Biden and his business partner, Eric Schwerin, appearing to contest such statements.
As for Kathy Chung, during the five years that she was employed by then-VP Joe Biden, she maintained regular communication with Hunter regarding his father’s work schedule, the US media publication previously reported.
