Hunter Biden revealed Wednesday (12/9) that he is under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for tax matters.
Hunter Biden: “I first learned yesterday, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware informed my legal counsel yesterday, that they are investigating my tax affairs. I take this matter very seriously, but I believe that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I have handled my affairs legally and properly, including with the help of professional tax counsel.”
UPDATE: As suspected, Hunter Biden is under federal investigation for his business dealings in China – as previously reported by James Rosen of The Sinclair Group.
The federal investigation into Hunter Biden and his associates has focused on money laundering allegations, and the probe began back in 2018.
Joe Biden (aka “The Big Guy”), who received between 10 and 50 percent of the money Hunter received from foreign countries, was not implicated, according to CNN.
Now that the election is over, the investigation has entered a new phase. Federal prosecutors in Delaware, working with the IRS criminal investigation agency and the FBI, are taking public steps such as issuing subpoenas and seeking interviews, people familiar with the matter said.
Investigative activity has been largely dormant in recent months because of Justice Department guidelines that prohibit public actions that could affect elections, the person said.
Investigators have been looking at multiple financial issues, including whether Hunter Biden and his associates violated tax and money-laundering laws in their business dealings in foreign countries, primarily China, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Some of those transactions involved people the FBI believes raised counterintelligence concerns, a common issue when dealing with Chinese companies, another source said.
The investigation began back in 2018, long before William Barr took office as U.S. attorney general, two people with knowledge of the investigation said. The existence of the investigation will present a direct test of Biden’s commitment to maintaining the independence of the Justice Department.
Hunter Biden’s dealings with China did not end after he received a $1.5 billion loan from a Chinese bank back in 2013 following a trip on Air Force Two with his father, Vice President Joe Biden.
A July 26, 2017, email from a top Chinese official to Tony Bobulinski, CEO of Sinohawk, a partner of Hunter Biden, shows that the Chinese energy company, China Energy Corporation (CEFC), offered the Biden family an “interest-free” loan of $5 million “based on their trust in the (Biden) family.”
By “trust,” they mean leverage and blackmail.
Chinese officials asked Tony Bobrinsky, “How will the $5 million be used …. , the $5 million loan is interest-free. But if that $5 million runs out, should Huaxin Energy continue to make more loans to this family?”
According to Senate documents, less than two weeks later, on Aug. 8, 2017, $5 million was wired from an investment vehicle affiliated with Watson Energy to the bank account of “Hudson West III,” and “Hudson West III “Over the course of the next year, $47.375 billion was transferred directly to Hunter Biden’s company, Owasco.
Senate investigators described how the Chinese state-owned energy company wired $5 million in “loans” through investment vehicles to “Hudson West III” bank accounts, which then dispersed the money to Hunter’s company (money laundering).
Hunter Biden and his father Joe Biden, aka “The Big Guy,” took billions of dollars from Russia, China, Romania, Ukraine and other countries, and we don’t know if Hunter paid taxes.
What we do know is that Hunter Biden suffered a huge tax lien for delinquent state income taxes in July 2020, which he magically “settled” in six days, despite having no income.
In July, Hunter was hit with a $450,000 tax lien that the unemployed “broke” father of five was able to “fix” in six days.
It is unclear if Hunter Biden actually paid off the tax lien.
Hunter Biden must have received special treatment from the government because it can take months or even years to clear or negotiate a payment plan for such a large tax lien.
COMMENTARY: While this story reports that the FBI began a tax investigation into Hunter Biden’s alleged money laundering back in 2018, the FBI under Chris Wray’s administration brought the investigation begun by his predecessor to a halt during the election on the grounds that it would avoid influencing the election. Why is this? Long before the election, Bobrinsky testified publicly that Joe Biden was involved in Hunter Biden’s business activities, and that his involvement would directly affect the national interests of the United States. Don’t American voters have a right to know whether their presidential candidate has actually acted against the national interest? Did Chris Wray’s actions clearly shield presidential candidate Joe Biden, who is suspected of corruptly selling out the national interest? This report also says that the current investigation does not involve the “big man” Joe Biden, so can we assume that Chris Ray has bailed out Joe Biden? What a fake cop who let a burglar go! The law will not let you off the hook!
