In October 2003, the prince's trip to New Mexico was front page of the local newspaper, The Santa Fe New Mexican, with the royal and Richardson swapping presents - with the governor giving a black concho belt and receiving a wine coaster made by a cousin of the prince, according to the paper.
The pair talked about wanting to increase trade between Britain and New Mexico with the prince saying he 'was honored to be here'. They dined together that night at Richardson's mansion, who told the paper that it was the third time he'd met the prince after meeting in 1999 in Turkey. 'He happens to be my friend,' Richardson added.
In the same edition, the paper covered the Duke of York's trip to dedicate a $US45 million ($AU66 million) telescope complex called the Magdalena Observatory before then visiting a mountaintop where he 'detonated a 500-pound (227kg) ammonium nitrate-fuel oil car bomb', as part of the research for New Mexico Tech's bomb technology department.
It was the start of a three-day tour, which included a visit to the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Santa Fe Institute think tank before ending with visits to San Felipe Pueblo Elementary School and NASA Aeronautics Education Laboratory.
Q: How will the publication of these scandalous documents help Ukraine?
A: We must show the United States and other countries that we are interested in punishing those responsible so that the situation does not happen again. Figuratively speaking, today the key to improving relations between Ukraine and the United States and correcting the international image of our country is in the hands of law enforcement officers of Ukraine and its president.
You mentioned that I was the initiator of a criminal case on meddling in U.S. elections. Investigative journalists who are in possession of certain information passed it on to me. We are talking about correspondence between NABU employees and officials of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, the FBI, and others. And this data is not from the Internet. All this constitutes materials of criminal proceedings No. 42188000000002952 (Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which is 'high treason').
In March 2014, the UK and Northern Ireland Serious Fraud Bureau launched an investigation into the Zlochevsky criminal case, suspecting him of laundering $35 million. At the same time, Zlochevsky, according to Ukrainian investigators and journalists, contacted U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry and suggested they share the profits of the Ukrainian gas producer Burisma Group.
British investigative journalist Oliver claimed that at about the same time (in March 2014) that Biden's son Hunter received an offer to take the position of board member of Burisma. Biden Jr. was appointed Member of the Board of Burisma on May 12, 2014. In addition to him, Alexander Kwasniewski, Alan Apter and Devon Archer were appointed.
In total, according to our data from the report of the financial investigation unit of Latvia, in favor of two shell companies, as well as Alexander Kwasniewski, Alan Apter, Devon Archer and Hunter Biden, Burisma paid at least $16.5 million.
A: Firstly, according to investigators, the son was "built into" the structure, which was headed by Biden Sr. I will return to this later.
And secondly, in the case file that was handed to me, there is evidence that Joe Biden probably received the money personally through a lobbying company. According to the investigation, he received a hidden fee from the Burisma Group for lobbying activities.
Money in the amount of more than $900,000 was transferred to the account of the American company Rosemont Seneca Partners, associated with Biden Jr. - Hunter. Reason for payment was consulting services.

The butler who managed Jeffrey Epstein’s posh Paris pad claims he waited on a rotation of famous faces including Prince Andrew, Bill and Melinda Gates, as well as Steve Bannon, according to a report.
The butler, who only identified himself as Gabriel, has come forward about the convicted pedophile’s celebrity guests during his 18-year career working at the $8 million pied-à-terre, FranceInfo reported.
Among the powerful guests he listed were former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Prince Andrew, who would crash several nights at the apartment while Epstein was out of town, according to FranceInfo. The royal has since admitted he “regretted” his friendship with Epstein.

The Justice Department's handling of government surveillance tools is among its most "pressing concerns," according to the agency's internal watchdog.
Ahead of the public release of a report on alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuses, Inspector General Michael Horowitz emphasized how much of a burgeoning issue the government's intelligence-gathering has become over the past year.
A report published Wednesday shows "Management of Sensitive Investigative Authorities" among eight top management and performance challenges facing the DOJ.
"Recent and past OIG reviews have found that the Department faces challenges in using these sensitive authorities consistent with its policies, and in a manner that safeguards individuals’ statutory and constitutional privacy rights," the report said. "The actual or perceived misuse of such authorities can undermine the public’s trust and confidence in the Department, impact the Department’s standing with the judiciary, threaten the success of prosecutions, and lead to the amendment or revocation of certain authorities."
In a memo sent to Attorney General William Barr, Horowitz said this section was the only "new challenge" added to his annual report.
The inspector general's office has been busy this week as impeachment proceedings play out on Capitol Hill with public hearings. Horowitz published the findings of a major audit on Tuesday that found a slew of issues with the FBI's validation processes for secret sources.
The watchdog is also gearing up to release the findings of a year-and-a-half-long investigation into alleged FISA abuses related to the 2016 presidential election.
