The Justice Department is investigating Hunter Biden for potential foreign lobbying violations related to his overseas business dealings — likely in places such as China, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan — in addition to scrutinizing his taxes, according to a new report.
Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss is known to be leading a federal investigation into President Joe Biden’s adult son, who denies any wrongdoing, and the New York Times reported Wednesday the probe which began as “a tax inquiry” during the Obama administration then “widened” in 2018 to encompass “possible criminal violations of tax laws, as well as foreign lobbying and money laundering rules, according to the people familiar with the inquiry.
When Patrick Ho, one of Ye’s lieutenants, was charged by the Justice Department in 2017, the first call he reportedly made after his arrest was to James, who has said he thought the call was meant for Hunter. The New York Times cited sources to report that investigators scrutinized Hunter Biden’s “relationships with interests” in Kazakhstan as well as with Burisma and a “Chinese energy conglomerate.” Investigators looked at “a vehicle paid for using funds from a company associated with a Kazakh oligarch” as well as “a diamond from a Chinese energy tycoon," the report said, citing its sources.
The new report said it is unclear whether the inquiry is “solely” scrutinizing Hunter Biden or if he is among “a group of individuals and companies” being looked at, noting Democratic consulting firm Blue Star Strategies is also being probed for potential FARA violations.
Investigators interviewed and subpoenaed Archer last year, and have looked at emails between Hunter Biden and Archer related to Burisma “and other foreign business activity," the report said.
