This could be the “big one” folks. It appears that according to a New York Times report, President Biden’s son Hunter is indeed in major hot water. It’s unclear if there will be a Ukraine connection, but it’s not looking good for the “big guy” if he indeed gets in trouble, which we can’t say yet for sure either way.
Hunter is being investigated for money laundering, tax evasion, and possible FARA violations according to the Times. When The New York Post reported about Hunter before the election in 2020 however, it was blocked by major social media companies.
Soon we may find out for sure if that was unwarranted or not, or if it’s unrelated. Hunter Biden has been a walking disaster for his Dad, who somehow got himself elected president. MAGA Conservatives reported:
Journalist Scott Stedman, a liberal who is covering the story, broke the hearts of his audience by reporting:
“Over the last two years, federal prosecutors in Delaware have issued scores of subpoenas for documents related to Hunter Biden’s foreign work and for bank accounts linked to him and his associates”
“Prosecutors had investigated payments and gifts Mr. Biden or his associates had received from foreign interests, including a vehicle paid for using funds from a company associated with a Kazakh oligarch and a diamond from a Chinese energy tycoon.”
“The potential crimes under investigation appear to be money laundering, tax evasion, and FARA. That’s a wide-ranging probe.
“Within DOJ, there is a “debate…over whether the available evidence proves that Mr. Biden intended to violate FARA, which the government must prove in order to secure a criminal conviction.”

From the NYT:
The investigation, which began as a tax inquiry under the Obama administration, widened in 2018 to include possible criminal violations of tax laws, as well as foreign lobbying and money laundering rules, according to the people familiar with the inquiry.
But prosecutors face a number of hurdles to bringing criminal charges, the people familiar with the investigation said, including proving that Mr. Biden intentionally violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA, which requires disclosure to the Justice Department of lobbying or public relations assistance on behalf of foreign clients.
The Daily Mail has even more here. We will update and add to this story as it develops.
