Hunter Biden has come under scrutiny by the US Department of Justice as his father claims the White House and forms a new government
As News Front previously reported, Joe Biden’s son was involved in financial fraud as a member of the board of directors of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma. When the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine became interested, Joe Biden, as US Vice President, began blackmailing the then Kiev leadership. He told Petro Poroshenko that he would not receive financial aid unless he fired Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin. Poroshenko complied with the demand.
On the eve of the US election, Donald Trump took an interest in these developments. He intended to bring up his opponent’s corrupt past and even sent his lawyer Rudolph Giuliani to Ukraine. The Democrats, trying to divert the attention of Americans from the crimes of their potential candidate, decided to impeach the US president.
But now the Justice Department has taken a serious interest in the machinations of Biden Junior, the Associated Press agency writes, citing its own sources. Journalists have learned that the agency has already requested materials about Hunter Biden’s ties with Burisma and “two dozen other organizations” as part of an investigation into tax crimes.
Biden Jr is suspected of money laundering, two sources familiar with the situation told the agency. Notably, the investigation has been ongoing since 2018, and Hunter Biden has personally confirmed information about the tax investigation at the federal level.
One AP source also noted that the DOJ is also looking into Biden’s ties to China.
