- One of the buyers was real estate investor and Democratic donor Elizabeth Hirsch Naftali
- Eight months after Hunter’s exhibition opened, Joe Biden appointed Naftali to prestigious heritage board
The L.A. real estate developer who paid big bucks for one of Hunter Biden‘s paintings has been no stranger to the White House, visiting more than a dozen times, visitor logs reveal.
Democratic donor Elizabeth Hirsch Naftali has been revealed to be one of the purchasers of artwork by the president’s son, amid concerns by ethics experts that difficult to value art purchases could raise conflict of interest concerns.
President Joe Biden appointed her to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad, an obscure but prestigious board.
In addition to having a colorful Biden painting she can hang on her wall, Naftali has made repeated trips to the seat of executive power.
She has been there at least 13 times since December 2021, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
That includes a March 22 meeting with White House senior adviser Neera Tanden, a key policy maker in the White House. She is now domestic policy advisor but previously served as Biden’s staff secretary, a key gatekeeper.
Naftali is also a Democratic donor. She also met twice with White House policy adviser Richard Figueroa, in December and September of last year.
Logs show she was with 40 people inside the East Wing on Sept. 17, 2022. Her events with the president were large events with hundreds of people in attendance.
Hunter Biden, who on Wednesday is set to appear in federal court to plead guilty to to tax misdemeanors, has made art throughout his life, and turned to the craft after his battles with addiction.
Hunter has all the artistic talent of a random overpaid Burisma board member.
This is as criminal as anything else Biden has done.
He is literally taking a bribe in the form of having someone pay for “art” in exchange for a high-paying job.

Rod Blagojevich corruption charges
Blagojevich was found guilty of 17 charges (including wire fraud, attempted extortion, and conspiracy to solicit bribes)
Fraud involving the appointment of a senator to fill the Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama has been the most notable charge against Blagojevich. Blagojevich was overheard on a recorded phone call saying, “I’ve got this thing, and it’s fucking golden. I’m just not giving it up for fucking nothing. It’s a fucking valuable thing, you just don’t give it away for nothing. If I don’t get what I want … I’ll just take the Senate seat myself.”
Blagojevich sought the following in exchange for an appointment:[28]
- A substantial salary for himself at either a non-profit foundation or an organization affiliated with labor unions.
- Placing his wife on paid corporate boards where he speculated she might garner as much as $150,000 a year.
- Promises of campaign funds—including cash up front.
- A Cabinet post or ambassadorship for himself to Serbia.
And there are not enough republicans willing to vote for impeachment. The GOPe is the real enemy.
