Here’s the Five Biggest Hunter Biden Stories of the Past Year

/4 Comments/in , /by

It’s been a turbulent year for Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s embattled son famous for his foreign business dealings and drug-fueled extravagance. . .

Hunter Biden’s troubles were supposed to be put to bed in July 2023 with a guilty plea deal for two tax misdemeanor offenses in Delaware and a pretrial diversion agreement for a single felony gun charge. But Delaware U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika took issue with a prosecutorial immunity provision contained in the diversion agreement when Biden appeared in court to finalize the guilty plea. . .

IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler testified to the House Ways and Means Committee in late May and early June with allegations DOJ officials gave Hunter Biden special treatment during the ongoing criminal investigation. The Ways and Means Committee released the transcripts of their testimony in late June and both whistleblowers testified publicly the next month. . .

Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Weiss special counsel in August after the IRS whistleblowers testified publicly and Hunter Biden’s guilty plea agreement collapsed. Weiss’ investigation into Hunter Biden resulted in two separate indictments by federal grand juries in Delaware and the Central District of California. . .

House Republicans launched an impeachment inquiry into President Biden in September based on Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings and the IRS whistleblower testimony. The House Ways and Means, Oversight and Judiciary Committees are leading the impeachment inquiry. (Read more from “Here’s the Five Biggest Hunter Biden Stories of the Past Year” HERE)

Biden May Face Impeachment Over ‘Conspiracy to Obstruct’ Hunter Deposition

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans suggested on Wednesday that President Joe Biden could face an impeachment offense related to his son Hunter Biden‘s refusal to comply with a congressional subpoena.

Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) said in a letter demanding a host of documents and communications by January 10 that their committees are “compelled to examine as part of our impeachment inquiry whether the President engaged in a conspiracy to obstruct a proceeding of Congress.”

In their letter, addressed to White House Counsel Edward Siskel, the chairmen highlighted how White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that President Biden was “familiar” with what Hunter Biden was going to say at a mid-December press event outside the U.S. Capitol.

Hunter Biden used the Capitol Hill appearance to publicly demand House Republicans provide him a public hearing instead of appearing at the closed-door interview in compliance with the congressional subpoena issued by House Republicans. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) told POLITICO that he reserved the spot where the First Son delivered the remarks and he appeared at the event.

Biden’s DOJ Restricts Ex-Official From Discussing Details on Hunter Prosecutor’s Authority

/2 Comments/in , /by

Revelations have emerged regarding restrictions imposed by the Department of Justice (DOJ) on a former official testifying before Congress about the authority of top Hunter Biden prosecutor David Weiss. Lesley Wolf, former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware, testified before the House Judiciary Committee on December 14, but was explicitly prohibited from discussing the intricacies of Weiss’ charging authority in the Hunter Biden case.

During Wolf’s testimony, she was asked about Weiss’ charging authority, to which she responded, “I am not authorized to speak on the particulars of any ongoing matter.” The limitations on her testimony drew attention, with Wolf indicating that she lacked authorization to discuss the details of Weiss’ authority.

At the heart of the matter is the controversy surrounding Weiss’ charging authority, which gained traction following whistleblower allegations suggesting that analysts were enticed with financial incentives to manipulate their conclusions in the Hunter Biden case. The situation took an unexpected turn as Wolf, a former DOJ official, declined to provide specific details.

In October, Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Stuart Goldberg testified that the DOJ Tax Division had approval authority over Weiss’ investigative steps and any potential tax charges in the Hunter Biden case. The testimony of IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, accusing DOJ officials, including Wolf, of providing preferential treatment to Hunter Biden, has added fuel to the controversy.

Hunter Biden Listed as Creditor on Rudy Giuliani’s Bankruptcy Filing

/5 Comments/in , /by

Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, is one of the creditors listed on former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy court filing.

Guiliani filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New York on Thursday after a jury in Washington, D.C., determined that Guiliani owed two Georgia election workers nearly $150 million in damages for defamatory remarks about the 2020 presidential election.

His list of creditors includes Hunter Biden, the IRS, Dominion Voting Systems, Smartmatic, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, Guiliani Partners LLC and Noelle Dunphy, a former employee who accused Giuliani of sexual assault.

Hunter Biden sued Giuliani in September in connection with the dissemination of his abandoned laptop archive, accusing the former New York City mayor of manipulating the contents of his laptop archive and altering some of its data.

Giuliani provided a copy of Hunter Biden’s laptop hard drive to the New York Post after a Delaware computer repairman gave a copy to Giuliani’s lawyer, the outlet disclosed when it broke the Hunter Biden laptop story in Oct. 2020.

Hunter’s Latest Stunt May Have Thrown His Dad Into a Messy Tangle, Strategists Say

/7 Comments/in , /by

Hunter Biden’s decision not to testify for House Republicans could add more fuel to the political fire for his father, GOP strategists and legal experts told the Daily Caller.

The president’s son arrived on Capitol Hill on Dec. 13, making the decision to defy the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena and skip a closed-door interrogation session on his foreign business dealings. Hunter Biden’s latest move will have political ramifications, as it draws more attention to President Joe Biden and his happenings just less than a year out from the 2024 presidential election, GOP strategists and legal experts agreed.

“Nearly every angle on the Hunter Biden story hurts Joe Biden,” Mark R. Weaver, a GOP strategist, told the Daily Caller.

The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Hunter Biden in November in an effort to have the first son attend a closed-door session to answer questions about his foreign business dealings. Instead, Hunter Biden chose to stand outside the Capitol on Dec. 13, denying President Biden ever played any part in his business dealings while blasting Republicans for bringing an impeachment inquiry on his father.

“[Denying the subpoena] will have the practical effect of drawing attention to his activities. That’s not good for President Biden,” Mike McKenna told the Daily Caller. “Also, the assumption out in the real world is that innocent people don’t refuse to testify.” (Read more from “Hunter’s Latest Stunt May Have Thrown His Dad Into a Messy Tangle, Strategists Say” HERE)

Impeachment Leader Accuses Hunter Biden of Creating a ‘Constitutional Crisis’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hunter Biden is stirring up a “constitutional crisis” by defying a subpoena in the corruption-focused impeachment inquiry against his father, President Joe Biden, according to a top House Republican.

Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO), who is helping to lead the impeachment probe, decried the younger Biden’s antics — speaking at a press event outside the Capitol but not showing up for a scheduled deposition — during an interview with Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“If you or I or any other American would do that, we would be prosecuted,” Smith said. He noted that IRS whistleblower testimony has already raised concerns about a “two-tiered justice system” with how the Department of Justice has handled its criminal investigation into Hunter Biden.

“The fact that Hunter Biden was supposed to be in the halls of that building going through a congressional subpoena, through depositions, and he defied that by standing on the footsteps of the Capitol and doing a press conference, the fact that he is the president’s son, and he’s doing that, is creating a very severe constitutional crisis,” Smith added.

Hunter Biden appeared in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday but did not cooperate with a subpoena demanding he participate in a deposition that day. In delivering remarks at the press event outside the U.S. Capitol Building, the president’s son insisted on being given a public hearing instead of a closed-door interview.

Prosecutor Accused of Protecting Bidens Departs DOJ

/3 Comments/in , /by

Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware, Lesley Wolf, accused of protecting President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, is no longer with the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to a source familiar with the matter. The departure follows allegations by IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who claimed that Wolf obstructed searches of Joe Biden’s guest residence and Hunter Biden’s storage locker, shedding light on potential interference in investigations linked to the Biden family.

Shapley testified before the House Ways and Means Committee, revealing details of the alleged hindrances posed by Wolf. Wolf seemed to impede the process, including blocking a search of the guest house at the Bidens’ Delaware residence and stalling a planned search of Hunter Biden’s storage locker. The testimony also referred to a threatening text message from Hunter Biden to a Chinese business associate, invoking his father’s influence, and raised concerns about the slow-walking of the process, particularly regarding a search warrant for emails related to lobbying firm Blue Star Strategies.

The IRS whistleblowers underscored their frustration with Wolf’s alleged interventions, stating, “Even though the legal requirements were met and the investigative team knew evidence would be in these locations, AUSA Wolf stated that they would not allow a physical search warrant on Hunter Biden.”

Furthermore, Shapley revealed that Wolf tipped off Hunter Biden’s defense team about the plan to search his storage unit, compromising the investigators’ opportunity to secure evidence. The accusations against Wolf also extend to her allegedly preventing Hunter Biden’s children from being interviewed as part of the investigation.

Emails and notes released by the Ways and Means Committee appear to support the whistleblowers’ claims, with communications from Wolf instructing investigators to exclude “political figure 1” (then-Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden) from the Blue Star search warrant.

House Formalizes Impeachment Inquiry Into President Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a significant move, the House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to formalize an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. The resolution, adopted by a vote of 221 to 212, grants House investigators the authority to enforce subpoenas and collect evidence regarding allegations that the president may have traded official acts for foreign dollars, potentially compromising his position.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) stated that the formalized status of the inquiry will empower investigators to delve into key issues, including two loan agreements totaling $240,000 between Joe Biden and James Biden. The resolution was supported unanimously by Republicans, including a surprising vote from Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), who had initially signaled opposition to the impeachment focus.

On the Democratic side, there was a unanimous block vote against the resolution’s adoption. The White House faced criticism for failing to provide requested information, including details about loan agreements, 99.98 percent of records from President Biden, documents related to a $5 million bribe, and materials concerning the mishandling of classified documents.

This vote served as a test for House Republicans, who currently hold a slim majority that is expected to diminish further after the resignations of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Rep. Bill Johnson (R-FL) in the coming month. McCarthy had opened an “impeachment inquiry” on September 12, but the formal approval was only secured on Wednesday.

Amidst the political turmoil, Hunter Biden, the president’s son, faced scrutiny as he appeared at the Capitol for a press conference following his failure to attend a subpoenaed closed-door deposition. House investigators, particularly House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) and Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH), initiated contempt of Congress proceedings against Hunter.

Recent polls indicate widespread skepticism among Americans regarding the Justice Department’s handling of the Hunter Biden investigation and raised concerns about potential criminal activities involving President Joe Biden.

WATCH: President Biden Smirks, Evades Questions on Hunter’s Subpoena Defiance

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Wednesday, President Joe Biden displayed a dismissive attitude towards reporters’ questions regarding his son, Hunter Biden, who had defied a congressional subpoena. The President’s refusal to address the issue occurred after Hunter Biden skipped a closed-door deposition with congressional investigators, potentially setting the stage for contempt of Congress proceedings that House Republicans had been warning of if he failed to comply with the subpoena.

President Biden’s remarks unfolded at the conclusion of a National Infrastructure Advisory Council event. Following his remarks, Biden called on reporters to leave the room. In response to a shouted question about whether his son should have defied the subpoena, President Biden smirked and opted not to provide an answer.

The incident highlights the intensifying scrutiny surrounding Hunter Biden’s actions and the potential legal consequences he may face for his failure to cooperate with congressional investigators. House Republicans have been vocal about the possibility of pursuing contempt of Congress proceedings if Hunter continues to defy the subpoena.

IRS Whistleblowers: Joe Biden Leads ‘Off the Table’ in Hunter Biden Investigation

/1 Comment/in , /by

New testimony from IRS whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, reveals that during the Department of Justice’s criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, any potential investigative leads involving Joe Biden were deliberately excluded. The testimony, presented before the House Ways and Means Committee, discloses that the agents were prohibited from exploring leads that could have implications for the former Vice President.

Ziegler, responding to questioning from Republican Georgia Rep. Drew Ferguson, stated, “Well, that’s the complex part about this is at the end of the day, any questions that might have led to former Vice President, they were kind of off the table.” Shapley echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the limitations imposed on investigating financial transactions and communications between Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.

The IRS whistleblowers expressed frustration over their inability to pursue leads related to Joe Biden, citing the unusual nature of the investigative process. Shapley specifically referenced the infamous “10 held by H for the big guy” remark from Hunter Biden’s associate, James Gilliar, stating that such leads, which could have provided insights into financial transactions between father and son, were not allowed to be investigated.

The testimony from the IRS whistleblowers aligns with previous allegations of special treatment given to Hunter Biden during the DOJ investigation into taxes and firearms possession. The House Republicans’ report on December 5 substantiates key claims made by the whistleblowers.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf attempted to prevent Joe Biden from being included in a search warrant related to lobbying firm Blue Star Strategies. Documents released by the Ways and Means Committee in September reveal instructions to remove “political figure 1,” identified as Joe Biden, from the search warrant.
