Barr Worked to Keep Hunter Biden Probes from Public View During Election

The attorney general knew for months about investigations into Biden’s business and financial dealings

Attorney General William Barr has known about a disparate set of investigations involving Hunter Biden’s business and financial dealings since at least this spring, a person familiar with the matter said, and worked to avoid their public disclosure during the heated election campaign.

Republicans and President Trump have pressed Mr. Barr for months to pursue Mr. Biden, especially as his father, Joe Biden, gained momentum in his ultimately successful bid for president. Mr. Barr has staved off pressure from Republicans in Congress for information into the investigations, the person said, without elaborating on his actions.

One investigation became public this week after federal investigators served a subpoena on Hunter Biden. The subpoena sought detailed financial information in connection with a criminal tax investigation by the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware, according to people familiar with the matter.

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan had also been looking at Hunter Biden’s business and financial dealings, as part of a broader criminal investigation that two people familiar with the matter described as an international financial investigation that had been going on for at least a year. Hunter Biden is implicated in that investigation but was never a specific target for criminal prosecution, the people said. They declined to provide details on the substance of the probe.

Well, I’m not the pearl clutching kind. It’s all under control, and Barr has conducted himself properly thus far, especially since he’s got you whining. LOL

Dannehy definitely is a Never Trumper.

Which calls into question Durham’s judgement.

Barr dismisses Trump’s tweets as ‘the deposed king ranting’ and ‘isn’t scared’ by President calling him a ‘big disappointment’ for keeping the Hunter Biden tax probe secret until after the election, report claims

A source told CNN Barr is unequally as unimpressed with Trump and is just riding out his time left until they both leave office
