Bergès said that there was never any conversation with his buyers about political favors from the president or White House. It also counters statements by the White House that Hunter Biden does not know the identity of his collectors. The press secretary later clarified that it was not the White House itself that helped create the arrangement. Hunter Biden last week pleaded not guilty to nine tax-related charges, including three felony counts, related to his business dealings between 2016 and 2020. Bergès said another buyer known to Hunter Biden was Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a prominent Democratic donor who received a White House appointment last year.

A mystery buyer spent $875,000 on 11 of Hunter Biden's paintings. That's according to internal documents from Biden's art gallery that Insider obtained. Hunter Biden was aware of Hirsh Naftali's identity as well as the identity of another buyer, Kevin Morris, Insider learned. Hunter Biden's counsel told Insider that he became aware of the buyers' identities after their purchases because they were his friends. Hirsh Naftali's role on the commission establishes at least one point at which the worlds of Hunter Biden's art patrons and President Biden's donors overlap.

Internal gallery documents reveal that sales of Hunter Biden's art brought in $1.3 million. The messaging seemed to suggest that Hunter Biden's art patrons came from a rarified universe of collectors who had nothing to do with the hurly burly of politics. Hunter Biden did in fact learn the identity of two buyers, according to three people directly familiar with Hunter Biden's own account of his art career. In the past, Hunter Biden has privately suggested that he could arrange to have friends seated on the commission. In fact, according to the person familiar with Hunter Biden's account, Morris purchased the art through Biden's gallery.
