Federal criminal investigation into Hunter Biden focuses on his business dealings in China
CNN ^ | 9 Dec 20 | Evan Perez and Pamela Brown

Posted on 12/09/2020 6:37:08 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

After going quiet in the months before the election, federal authorities are now actively investigating the business dealings of Hunter Biden, a person with knowledge of the probe said. His father, President-elect Joe Biden, is not implicated.

Now that the election is over, the investigation is entering a new phase. Federal prosecutors in Delaware, working with the IRS Criminal Investigation agency and the FBI, are taking overt steps such as issuing subpoenas and seeking interviews, the person with knowledge said.

Activity in the investigation had gone covert in recent months due to Justice Department guidelines prohibiting overt actions that could affect an election, the person said.

CNN contacted Biden's attorney and the campaign this week seeking comment about the investigation. On Wednesday, they released a statement acknowledging the probe.

"I learned yesterday for the first time that the U.S. Attorney's Office in Delaware advised my legal counsel, also yesterday, that they are investigating my tax affairs. I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors," Hunter Biden said in a statement.

Investigators have been examining multiple financial issues, including whether Hunter Biden and his associates violated tax and money laundering laws in business dealings in foreign countries, principally China, according to two people briefed on the probe.

This is really pisses me off. CNN and other outlets intentionally hid this during the campaign. Criminals.

The only way this will get any traction is if the deep state decides to use it to take out pedojoe.

pedojoe is out any way. The deep state decides which way it goes.

Long live the Ho! /s

Doug Emhoff, husband of Kamala Harris, apparently also tied to Chinese interests. 🙄

The cynic in me says that in order to “exhonerate” or “clear” him, they at least have to have a simulated investigation. I doubt CNN would report on it this early if there was a chance the investigation was serious.

I heard Christopher Wray was looking at homes in the Hamptons as soon as this case is resolved and Hunter is exonerated?

Biden has people in his own party leaking this stuff out, knowing it is safe with the media. The left wing radicals will benefit from a weakened Biden Family. That means it will be Kamala Harris time, if Biden actually wins.

Hunter gets pardoned and will probably go on to be head of the DEA. All confiscated drugs go through him and the strip clubs.

Just trying to see who knows what so they know who to eliminate.

No charges will ever be leveled.

Republican Senate covered for the Biden Crime Family Op.

They promised to call Hunter and Joe and question them, and they kept postponing the Vote to run the clock out in Trump.

Now they can't ignore Hunter anymore.

I'd like to see someone on CNN defend Hunter JUST ONCE.

Without seeing it, they falsely tainted it to pull Joe across the Finish Line.
