Fed Probe of Hunter Biden Business Deals Gaining Momentum
As the 2020 election approached, the nation at large had some serious concerns about nepotism within the Biden family, largely centered around the son of the eventual President.
Hunter Biden, whose lengthy history of drug abuse and sordid behavior, had previously been gifted a lucrative position on the board of directors of a Ukrainian natural gas company in spite of his apparent lack of knowledge regarding the subject matter. This raised plenty of red flags for ordinary Americans trying to elect the cleanest politician that they could to the highest office in the land.
As it turns out, federal investigators aren’t too keen on such backdoor business dealings either.
A Justice Department investigation into Hunter Biden’s business activities has gained steam in recent months, with a flurry of witnesses providing testimony to federal investigators and more expected to provide interviews in the coming weeks, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
The probe, led by the US Attorney in Wilmington, Delaware, began as early as 2018 and concerns multiple financial and business activities in foreign countries dating to when Biden’s father was vice president. Investigators have examined whether Hunter Biden and some of his associates violated money laundering, tax and foreign lobbying laws, as well as firearm and other regulations, multiple sources said.
To do so, law enforcement has gathered information from lobbyists connected to Hunter Biden, from his business partners, and from others who’ve observed his financial engagements, including a woman with whom he had a child.
While Hunter has yet to be charged with a crime, the heat is definitely on, especially now that Congressional Republicans are beginning to publicly shed light on some of the more nefarious stories regarding his salacious laptop.
