Hunter Biden complained that 'half' of his salary went to paying his father's bills while he was Vice President including $190-a-month in unearthed emails from his laptop show.
In 2010, Joe Biden was earning $225,000-a-year as Vice President and he'd already made well over $100,000-a-year for decades prior as a senator and author.
But Hunter, according to emails obtained by The New York Post, had to foot a $190-a-month AT&T phone bill for his father, and pay for repairs to his lakeside property in Wilmington, Delaware.
At the time, Hunter was working as the interim CEO of Paradigm Global Advisors and he'd also founded the investment firm Rosemont Seneca Partners.
In emails between Hunter and Eric Schwerin, his business partner at Rosemont Seneca, in 2010, they discussed how much was needed.
The subject was 'JRB bills' - which match Joe's initials - and described how $2,600 was to be paid to a contractor for a 'stone retaining wall' at Joe's home, along with $1,475 to be paid to a painter for the 'back wall and columns' of the property and $1,239 to a builder who'd fixed the AC at Joe's late mother's home. He rented that house to the Secret Service for $2,200 a month.

In the years that followed the emails, Hunter became addicted to crack cocaine and alcohol. Photos like this one were found on the same laptop as the emails
Years later, in a text to his own daughter, Hunter - who had by then been battling drug addiction for years - he complained: 'I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years.
'It’s really hard. But don’t worry, unlike Pop [Joe], I won’t make you give me half your salary.'
It was a text he sent to his daughter Naomi in 2019.
Hunter started working for Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian gas company, in 2014. He earned $83,333-a-month from Burisma until two months
