Records reveal that a billionaire Democratic donor, who is sheltering Hunter Biden amid a brewing storm in his criminal investigation, received multimillion-dollar federal contracts and offered a $93,000 job to the president’s niece.
Hunter Biden has been seen hiding away on a $50 million Santa Ynez, Calif., vineyard owned by Joe Kiani, a major donor to his father’s campaigns — contrary to recent reports he was camping out in the White House ahead of a pivotal meeting between his attorneys and federal prosecutors investigating his business dealings.
This isn’t the first time that Kayani, whom Joe Biden described in 2018 as “one of my good friends,” has offered shelter to a troubled Biden family member.
Massimo Corporation, the medical technology company Kayani founded and runs, offered Joe’s niece Carolyn Biden a job in the marketing department in July 2018 after a string of bad press after she was convicted for a year of using a stolen credit card to amass $110,000. who counts.
An email obtained by DailyMail.com from the laptop of Hunter Biden shows a Masimo employee offering her the role of “Marketing Specialist” with a salary of $85,000 plus a 10% bonus and 450 stock options for the Nasdaq-listed company on July 24, 2018.

Caroline, 35, turned up her nose at the show — much to the frustration of her father, who forwarded the email to Hunter.
“I can’t survive this,” Caroline wrote to Joe Biden’s brother, Jim. This is less than the California minimum wage after taxes.
She added that the previous job, in which she landed 150 jobs, “took barely half a year.”
Like her cousin Hunter, Caroline has been struggling with addiction and legal wrangling for years.
She reportedly went to rehab for her Adderall addiction while attending Georgetown University, was arrested in 2009 by Amtrak police after a dispute over a train fare, was charged with assaulting an NYPD officer in 2013, and then caught buying more than $110,000 in high-end goods. Cosmetics and pharmaceuticals on a stolen credit card at a Manhattan pharmacy in 2017.
Caroline was sentenced to 20 days in rehab in a DUI deal after crashing into a tree in Pennsylvania in 2019.
Kayani has already shown his rich generosity toward the Biden family, personally donating $500,000 and another $1 million through his company to the Beau Biden Foundation for Child Protection.
He has also become a prominent political donor, giving over $3.8 million to Democrats in the 2020 election cycle with his wife, and $1 million to a pro-Biden PAC.
The Kayan family hosted a fundraiser for Biden at their Irvine, California home in January 2020, raising more than $1 million for Biden and giving another $1 million to his inaugural committee.
The donations raised questions from the House Oversight Committee after the Biden administration awarded millions of federal contracts to Massimo and appointed Keani to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology in September 2021.

The offer came after a slew of bad press after she was convicted for a year of using a stolen credit card to rack up $110,000 in charges.
Karolina followed in her cousin’s shoes and went to rehab for her Adderall addiction while attending Georgetown University. She was arrested in 2009 by Amtrak police after a dispute over a train fare and charged with assaulting an NYPD officer in 2013.

Since 2021, Masimo has won 991 federal contracts worth $3,887,753, including from the Department of Defense and Department of Health.
Republicans on the committee wrote a letter in April 2022 warning that “Mr. Kayani’s close ties to President Biden, including an appointment to a White House board of directors, create the appearance that he is benefiting from his political contributions.
“Awarding lucrative government contracts to companies led by major Democratic donors has become a troubling pattern for the Biden administration and raises questions about whether political contributions play a role in the decision to award federal taxpayer dollars,” the letter from the lawmakers oversight said.
Emails show that Kayani had access to the then vice president since 2012.
Assistant Vice President Fran Pearson wrote to Hunter on November 15, 2012, asking him to join a meeting between the billionaire and Senior Biden.
Another aide, Robert Hobbs, sent an email 12 days later suggesting that Hunter make follow-up calls with Kiani and others on his “VIP” donor list who got special access to the “VPOTUS ward” and “had a great, meaningful time on the ward with your dad.” And the team.
