Biden has for years flatly denied interacting with his relatives’ foreign business associates — a contention further debunked this week as newly released photos show him meeting two of first son Hunter Biden’s business associates in China while he was vice president.

Biden, 82, was the focus of a rare House impeachment inquiry into whether he inappropriately enriched his family in countries where he held sway as vice president — with that probe ending shortly after he abandoned his re-election bid this summer with an August report concluding he abused his power.

The question of Biden’s degree of involvement in foreign dealings now is largely academic, as he and his family are no longer expected to play a significant role in American foreign policy following his retirement on Jan. 20.

The matter could present future credibility issues for Biden allies, however, such as top Oversight Committee Democrat Jamie Raskin of Maryland, who insisted in February that “there were no meetings with the president.”

A review of Biden’s public statements demonstrate a pattern of dishonesty as a mountain of evidence — including photos, emails and witness statements — showed that he did indeed interact with his family’s business partners.

The newly released photos show Biden as vice president shaking hands and posing with the incoming CEO of Chinese state-backed BHR Partner, Jonathan Li, and BHR’s managing director Ming Xue during a December 2013 official trip to Beijing. Hunter held a 10% stake in the firm, which sought out natural resources such as cobalt for China, through at least part of his father’s presidency.
