Another Biden campaign co-chair has ties to Hunter, asked for his briefing ‘on the Ukraine'

[FoxNews] Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester reportedly launching Senate campaign this month in Delaware

Democratic Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, one of the Biden campaign’s national co-chairs and a likely Senate candidate, thanked Hunter Biden in 2016 for his "generous contribution" to her campaign and asked if he could brief her "on the Ukraine," emails show.

Blunt Rochester, who was named co-chair along with several others, including Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., previously served in the same role for Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign. She is expected to launch a run for the open Senate seat in Delaware this month, Politico reported.

Fox News Digital previously reported that Hunter served as an outside adviser to Coons during his successful 2010 Senate bid, making Blunt Rochester at least the second campaign co-chair with ties to the embattled first son.

Months before winning her election against Republican Hans Reigle, Blunt Rochester sent an email to Hunter thanking him for donating to her campaign.

"I just told Brian that I saw your contribution online," she wrote Feb. 5, 2016. "I can't thank you enough. You know that it's not easy running for any office. It means a lot to have you on my team.

"By the way, I'm sure Brian will tell you that I will be in DC next Tuesday and Wednesday."

Ten days later, on the evening of Feb 15, 2016, Blunt Rochester thanked Hunter again for the donation and asked if he could brief her "on the Ukraine."

Hunter made four donations to Blunt Rochester's campaign in 2016, totaling $3,000, according to FEC records.
