FILE - In this Nov. 7, 2020, file photo, President-elect Joe Biden, right, embraces his son Hunter Biden, left, in Wilmington, Del. Biden’s son Hunter says he has learned from federal prosecutors that his tax affairs are under investigation.
The investigation was launched in 2018, a year before his father, Joe Biden, announced his candidacy for president, but it isn’t clear which entities might be tied up in the probe, and the inquiry was not disclosed to Hunter Biden until Tuesday. Investigators did not reach out in the weeks prior to the election because of a Justice Department policy surrounding elections that prohibits overt investigative acts, one of the people said.
The disclosure of the federal investigation, led by the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware, comes at an awkward moment for the incoming president, who is assembling his Cabinet. His pick for attorney general could have oversight of the investigation into the new president’s son if it is still ongoing when Biden is sworn in on Jan. 20.
UN NATO METHOD-Negative impact on this individual with the law.-“The Justice Department’s investigation scrutinizing Hunter Biden’s taxes has been examining some of his Chinese business dealings, among other financial transactions, a person..told The Associated Press.”-API🌅
Amazing how your glorify AP when there bashing trump. But when they post this. Comments are ignoring the literal facts trump was right on stage. Lol and now your bashing AP. Lmao coo coo. I can’t help but laugh. Make up your mind.
BretBaier Why did you take so long to report? You know we have a corrupt Named President Elect. You all are fakenews The information was out and suppressed in October maybe earlier.
Pruwilkie These two are so gross
BretBaier Looking forward to a proper investigation into Trump’s financial dealings, which has yet to be done. Not covered by Mueller, IG Horowitz or Senate Intel Committee. Report that Bret - I dare you!
Fake news
So? Just say they’re “under audit” and can’t be produced.
I'll bet there are several politicians hiding under their desks and in closets now.
Obviously this is all Russian disinformation.
BretBaier
BretBaier Ted Cruz is so dishonest ? after Donald J Trump over a 4 year period made fun of, Cruz's wife, ridiculed her, said the most demeaning things ever about her looks, made a fool of her over and over again on national TV here Cruz is, what's the term, ' kissing Trump's '....' '
Now do all the Trump taxes, all the “kids”
BretBaier Now you retweet this? Where were you BretBaier and your buddy Chris WallASS in October? Just like CNN, you were silent!
So when they're done with his Chinese dealings, are they going to investigate Trump's?
And with JoeBiden 👇 moneylaundering Treason
BretBaier Bret, scrolling through your Twitter feed, I have seen a lot about Hunter and Eric Swalwell and nothing about the fact that more people died yesterday than on 9/11. Trump continues to do absolutely nothing except incite a Civil War. Do better. BeBest
As long as he is not getting a position in the WH administration, I don't care. That's between him and the IRS. His problem. Now, investigate the Trumps.
Lets now start checking Joe Biden and all his family's taxes
Has mainstream media already started paving the way for ( many times rejected by American people) Kamalah Harris? Biden Says He Would Resign if a Moral Dispute With Harris Arose
BretBaier As Joe Biden is implicated they will have to shut down the investigation or impeach Joe biden
Will Mrs. KamalaHarris VicePresident-elect take over Mr. JoeBiden' duty as the PresidentElect if this issue getting worse? The ⏰ is ticking
Would love it if they are more worried about Trump's business dealings with Russia.
AND BTW..look at Swalwell & the Chinese spy. The Progressive Party sure has a mess of dirt. So take the halos off
It's not totally about taxes. It's about money laundering & some real suspicious Chinese involvement & a pay for access to VP Biden while he was in office.
Why is only just now reporting this? 🤔
You waited until after the election for this because we know what you represent.
BretBaier Brad Raffensperger GaSecofState was scheduled to appear & testify tomorrow before GA House Committee about 11/3 election fraud. He just backed out & cannot be subpoenaed unless special session is called. BrianKempGA refuses to do so. How convenient. DEMAND ANSWERS Patriots.
Now do Jarvanka
Fake news.
Joe Biden is compromised
You can bet 'daddy' was in on the take too and used his influence as VP to secure money.
This is political harassment and intimidation. Shame on the government, Corrupt, Corrupt, Corrupt.
Fake News! He’s a nice guy who’s dad happened to be a former VP & Senator for damn near 50 yrs. He just happens to get great job offers from from foreign companies. Then introduces them to his dad. Who never takes bribes or “Donations” for his political campaign. It’s all legal!
It’s about time
BretBaier You think joe was involved, then he gets a choice resign or be prosecuted/impeached. Hello president Harris
BretBaier His old man knew exactly what was going on..they will get away with it AGAIN!
His father will just pardon him... and then resign.
This was fake news pre 11/3. Now it’s real news. Screw ap for helping to rig an election.
Why is DOJ not investigating the many questionable Trump business schemes including Vankys China deals and Deutchebank and IRA and Stormy and so many more? What’s up DOJ?
BretBaier FOX NEWS REPORTED THIS SO MANY MONTHS AGO. LIBERAL MEDIA NOW FORCED TO PICK IT UP. MEDIA AND FBI ARE IN DNC BACK POCKET SO THEY ARENT WORRIED. KINDA LIKE CLINTON WHO BELONGS IN PRISON. WAIT...I HEAR THE SOUND OF REVOLUTION ON THE HORIZON
BretBaier Guessing 90 % of you replying used the excuse “well Johnny was doing it too “ while growing up.
I am and have been a democrat since I could vote. Never voted anything else. I am astonished at the people swiping at this or deflecting. This is a significant development. Yes, you want the Trump kids investigated, I’m okay good with that. But don’t act like this is nothing.
That's bubble shit compared to trumps crime family.
Dept headed by a Republican ..more attempts to smear Biden.
Before the election, the Communist Left Wing Media told us this story was MISINFORMATION. Today we find out it was a COVER UP.
Wrong person checking for that. Check DJT
Desperate move by Trump
Conservatives: Do NOT share news or gop inside info on twitter or cnn or any liberal thread. Keep everything secret.
Justice Department turns blind eye to Trump kids 😒
Next ivanka donny eric
Cool, but it’s taken 11 years for Trumps IRS AUDIT so let’s wrap that up first before we delve into a new investigation shall we?
About time Investigate this liar or rather 2
This story wasn’t newsworthy 6 weeks ago?
BretBaier Can’t believe there’s any news organization willing to report on this ... Where was everyone 6 weeks ago?
Wonder if he gets a pardon from Daddy? Bahahahaha
BretBaier They will avoid where “there appears to be a conflict of interest”. What about where there is a real conflict of interest?
I thought y’all said this was debunked a few months ago..... oh yeah that’s right, you’re activists and not journalists.
Political War!
You know who else’s taxes are being looked into and have for years? Moscow Donnie!
Wait until they go after Trump's tax returns. Jail time
NicholasKatzban Can’t wait till they start investigating the Trump’s
Disgusting
Anyone see the Chinese economist speech before it was taken down? He praised Hunter for getting things going.
Thank you for providing some relevant news. Hopefully you don't get kicked off of Twitter for spreading facts. Lol
realDonaldTrump ordered this for sure.
It is the left side plan: they want Kalama only. It is time to kick Joe Biden off.
JMS155 Are they investigating the taxes of the Trump kids?
Congress is investigating Jared Kushner for his ties to the government of Qatar and a billion dollar real estate deal. This is not innuendo about Hunter Biden, the deal happened. And we know that Trump was on the take too.
Ummm! Why isn’t the DOJ be investigating realDonaldTrump taxes?! Inside those so called under audit tax returns would reveal level of treason our worst nightmare couldn’t imagine. TrumpTaxReturns Instead they investigate HunterBiden. The very thing that got Trump impeached
nobody is above the law. if there were crimes, indict him so biden can pull a trump and pardon him.
BretBaier Oh now you are not hiding this? Why did you not investigate before the election? Why did you suppress the news on Biden’s Chinese dealings? Now you want to bring Biden down to put in place your true candidate Kamala...! We Americans are not buying your garbage! Fakenews
So this clears the way to prosecute Trump kids.
senatemajldr China ChineseSpy Chinese FangFang Fangs everywhere
A little too late AP coming to this story. So much Big Media & Big Tech corruption and censorship blocked this story. Trump's family would not have been given the benefit of the doubt. Hunter Biden & Joe Biden will end up in jail, but alas the truth came to late for Trump.
BretBaier This is not new news. Why didn’t you report this before the election. . Pathetic on your part .
Where are trumps taxes?
End of tweet
But the president can bs for 4 years about his taxes and foreign affairs I'm sick of this shit
Is he running for President? Otherwise I don’t get it, what about Trump’s and family taxes?
Funny how the same Justice Department turns a blind eye to nepotism Barbie Ivanka’s Chinese business dealings and approved patent applications while on government salary. lameduckdonald trumpthecheat trumpthecrook injusticedepartment corrupteddonald
Russia is to Trump as China is to Biden it seems. Will they actually dig up something though?
“Scrutinizing”? Who the hell... Tactic: change narrative. tactics101
This wasn't even news when the entire media establishment refused to cover it....
K. Now do Ivanka’s Chinese business dealings
New York Times and Fox news reported this 2 months ago .That is why Americans know you are fake news or socialist Propaganda. Now you are doing this so comala can take the President and she only got 3 percent of the Democrats votes when she ran as President.
Christopher A. Wray MUST investigate Trump for election interference, and tampering in the 2020 election.... Otherwise, fire the FBI director!
So this is it? We are at the point in our country where actual crimes will be addressed with a few jokes? He belongs in prison.
Just out of curiosity, why are you choosing to report this as an 'investigation' and not a tax audit? He's under audit.... just like Trump.
Those subpoenas were served in 2019. 'Investigations' are FBI's way of burying inconvenient crimes, which will never be prosecuted if you are a dem.
Typical Republicans. Deflecting attention of their own criminal behavior by attacking the son of our soon to be President. Republicans are pathetic. Investigate real criminals like Trump and his associates, Perdue, Graham or the AG of South Dakota.
About time
BretBaier Answer me this. How in hell has Joe Biden, 47 year Politician, been able to afford to live in mansions? How many everyday Jose’s live in mansions! What a bunch of ignorant fools not to be able to see Biden family, as many DC Swamp politicians do, make millions off of positions!
BretBaier BidenCrimeFamiily
Will it include boning his under-aged niece
Lock his ass up
BretBaier Total biased bullshit that they held this back before the election. They knew this was bad and they hid it. FOX news was on top of this. How will anyone ever trust our media again to be honest and forthcoming?
BretBaier The BITCHES are coming out of their fox holes
Biden's Treasury Secretary will turn the IRS lose on trump and his family and Kushner.
As if this is suprising
Trump's Republican appointees politically motivated investigation.
BretBaier You chose to censored this information and other criminal acts and accusations ofJoe Biden during the election. Now we may have a criminal that appears to have sold the office of the Vicepresidency to the Chinese government. What do we do now?
The media all but ignored this story prior to the election. You have no credibility.
But they’re not looking at trumps Chinese bank account?
How convenient the timing to release this “news” when HunterBiden is being investigated since 2018⁉️ Media is the mastermind in manipulating & brainwashing ppl; the coverup & the suppression are just despicable & illegal‼️ CorruptBidenFamily CCPOwnsBiden BigGuyElectionFraud
BretBaier NEWSMAX
What if his taxes are tied up in an audit?
So you’ll cover this but not a laptop he left at a repair shop because that’s too scandalous, right? Stop acting like the PR wing of the DNC.
Can you believe this the Democrats ASS PRESS is reporting this
Who cares about this right now? Over 3,000 people died TODAY from the Coronavirus. Trump by not doing his job and killed thousands and thousands of Americans!
BretBaier Yes!!
BretBaier
This tweet served its purpose... clickbait

BretBaier The Big Guy gets 10 percent. Right Joe?

BretBaier Joe asking Hunter “ You look familiar, do I know you?”

Why don’t you guys investigate the Trump kids. They are crooked as the day is long.
So what? He holds no office. It's only a story bc Trump made it one. And you are STILL doing his bidding.
BretBaier No shit ... keep up the great cover up assholes
BretBaier BretBaier and to think you and FoxNews lost your whole base to run cover for these people.
How about Trump childrens taxes and foreign deals? When would we see them being investigated?

BretBaier Yet FBI “paused” during the election cycle! WHY?! Protecting their own. That’s why. jaketapper SavannahGuthrie brianstelter TheStoryKGW TuckerCarlson Please do some actual reporting on this!

BretBaier Not a DAMN THING will be done to Hunter or any other son or daughter of high ranking Democrats. NOT A DAMNED THING! Why bother investigating?
Please. How grotesque and obviously political. What about the Trumps?
Nope. Look at Don Jr
Throw the book at that child molester!!!
I hope the trump's are ready. their turn begins January 20th.

When will the DOJ investigate the Trump & Kushner 'dealings'? I'll bet there's much juicier stuff there.
Are you posting this as a counter attack because congress is investigating kushner? Hunter did not use american sons and daughters up for slaughter for personal gain. No comparisonTurncoatMedia
