The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has made an unexpected move regarding the investigation into Hunter Biden. According to a recent report from the House Republicans, investigators who were handling the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) case pertaining to Hunter Biden were allegedly instructed to remove any reference to Joe Biden in a search warrant affidavit filed in the case.
The news comes as it was announced last year that Hunter Biden and Tony Bobulinski, the former associate of the Biden family, were being investigated by the Delaware State Bureau of Identification’s criminal division for “possible money laundering.” The House Republicans have added fuel to the fire by questioning why the DOJ would order investigators to keep Joe Biden’s name out of the search warrant affidavit if they were looking into money laundering.
The GOP’s inquiry into the matter has raised eyebrows in Washington, as the Biden White House continues to remain largely silent about the investigation. While it is unclear why the DOJ decided to order the investigators to omit Joe Biden’s name, it has once again added to the controversy regarding the Biden family’s financial dealings.
The latest news adds yet another layer to the already complex situation regarding Hunter Biden’s financial dealings. With investigators being ordered to leave Joe Biden’s name out of the FARA case, it is likely that the DOJ may be trying to keep the Biden family’s financial history out of the equation. The final outcome of the FARA probe is still yet to be seen, though the fact that investigators are not allowed to reference Joe Biden in an official document is bound to raise some eyebrows.
