Harris camp offered $1K to Biden allies before she was floated for board seat on Beau foundation - Hunter laptop emails | 28 Aug 2024 | Allies of Joe Biden were skeptical that Kamala Harris was "ready" for the national spotlight during her 2016 U.S. Senate campaign -- but were apparently happy to hand over donor lists and even offer her a board seat with the Beau Biden Foundation after her camp dangled a $1,000 contribution, emails on first son Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop show. If completed, the convoluted transaction flouted the Foundation's tax-exempt status and may have violated federal election law, experts told The Post this week. Allies of Harris, then California's attorney general, contacted Josh Alcorn, Beau Biden's top political and fundraising adviser, with an unusual request in late 2015 -- months after the former Delaware attorney general died of brain cancer. "Just an FYI -- Kamala Harris's campaign reached out. They'd like to pay us about $1,000 for access to the email list," Alcorn wrote in a December 30 email to Hunter and Hallie Biden, Beau's widow.
