At the time it was reported by Fox News and CNN that the investigation began in 2018 and was looking into whether Hunter and his business associates violated tax and money laundering laws. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/12\/09\/politics\/hunter-biden-tax-investigtation\/index.html\"><span>Reporting<\/span><\/a><span> by CNN<\/span> at the time said the probe was focused on Hunter\u2019s engagements in China and other countries and transactions with \u201cpeople who posed counterintelligence concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>The probe had been put on hold as the presidential race ramped up, but had allegedly resumed after all ballots were cast.<\/p>\n<p>Weiss paused the investigation, deciding not to seek search warrants or issue grand jury subpoenas, to not \u201calert the public to the existence of the case in the middle of a presidential election,\u201d according to&nbsp;<span class=\"s2\">a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/07\/16\/hunter-biden-probe-prosecutor-499782\"><span class=\"s2\">report<\/span><\/a><span class=\"s2\"> by <\/span><span class=\"s2\"><em>Politico<\/em><\/span><em>&nbsp;<\/em>in July, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The federal investigation into Hunter\u2019s \u201ctax affairs\u201d was reported by Fox News to have been moving forward in March, 2021, and that the U.S. Attorney\u2019s office in Delaware had \u201cnot heard from the White House,\u201d at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter Biden revealed in an interview with CBS in April, 2021, that his lawyers were not working on a plea deal in the case. \u201cI am absolutely certain that what we\u2019re doing is being completely cooperative with whoever is asking from any authority whatsoever,\u201d he added at the time.<\/p>\n<p>The document was obtained first by former White House official Garrett Ziegler, who is a former associate director in Peter Navarro\u2019s Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy in the White House, serving from 2019-2021, who provided it to Breitbart News. Following his time at the White House, Ziegler established Marco Polo, a nonprofit research group \u201cexposing corruption and blackmail,\u201d and has been conducting a forensic review combined with extra independent investigation into Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cThis wide-ranging grand jury subpoena suggests that Joe\u2019s son and brother received transfers from an account with the Bank of China. The question that remains is why Bill Barr directly intervened to ensure that the U.S. Attorney in Delaware\u2019s investigation into Joe\u2019s family was kept from the public for over 17 months until after the election, as previous reporting has confirmed. David Weiss and Bill Barr\u2014or someone with a conscience inside the Justice Department\u2014should answer that question for the American people,\u201d Ziegler said in a statement to Breitbart News.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The aforementioned Politico story suggests Weiss took steps to keep his investigation from going public in 2019 because he did not want it coming out in the middle of an election, and a subsequent Wall Street Journal piece in December 2020 suggests that Barr did the same.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear if JPMorgan Chase Bank cooperated with this subpoena. It is worth noting that the bank\u2019s outside counsel firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton &amp; Garrison LLP announced it hired former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch shortly after receiving this subpoena. It is unclear if Lynch had any involvement on this specific matter, however, she has worked on similar matters involving JPMorgan Chase Bank compliance.<\/p>\n<p>It is also unclear where this criminal investigation stands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A criminal IRS investigation into Hunter Biden \u2014 President Biden\u2019s son \u2014 appears to have convened a grand jury as far back as May 2019, a confidential subpoena served to &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1257084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1257084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1257084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1257084\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1257084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1257084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1257084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
