right Daily Mail, between Hans Klem and one of Popoviciu’s lawyers, at least one meeting took place, in which Hunter Biden also participated.

The lawyer stated that the American team explained to Popoviciu’s foreign representatives “the reality that the US Embassy and the US Ambassador will not intervene before the Romanian Government regarding the criminal investigation corruption“.
