about President Joe Biden\u2019s son, and the FBI\u2019s investigation into him, &#8220;should be asked&#8221; even though the younger Biden is not an elected official.<\/p>\n<p>The mere fact that Sidner mentioned the Hunter Biden scandal saga enraged many liberals on Twitter, who slammed her post and wondered if this was yet another sign that CNN had gone off the rails ever since new management proposed turning the network away from overt partisan bias.<\/p>\n<p>Sidner made her Monday morning observation by sharing a Yahoo News article detailing Hunter Biden\u2019s alleged shady business relationship with Chinese billionaire Ye Jianming and his &#8220;international fixer,&#8221; Patrick Ho, who was being investigated by the FBI in 2017 for a &#8220;global bribery scheme&#8221; that &#8220;appeared to advance Chinese government interests.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/us-treasury-says-request-hunter-biden-records-must-come-democrats-not-republicans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>US TREASURY SAYS REQUEST FOR HUNTER BIDEN RECORDS MUST COME FROM DEM-LED COMMITTEE, NOT REPUBLICANS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 767px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p>\n      Biden administration officials and those in the president\u2019s camp have long cast materials that came from the laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden (shown) as disinformation, but intelligence community officials have said, as far back as October 2020, that neither the laptop nor materials on it are part of any sort of disinformation campaign.<br \/>\n      <span class=\"copyright\">(RMBI \/ BACKGRID)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The article detailed how evidence of this relationship and huge monetary exchanges between the two parties, which also included the president\u2019s brother, James Biden, could be found in emails on Hunter Biden\u2019s now-infamous laptop.<\/p>\n<p>The piece claimed that this evidence could associate Biden with a Chinese &#8220;counterintelligence threat&#8221; to the country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But the depth and breadth of the Bidens\u2019 financial ties with Ho and Ye raise new questions as to whether they were targets of a Chinese influence operation that, separate and apart from an ongoing criminal probe into Hunter Biden for alleged tax fraud and potentially foreign lobbying violations, represents a counterintelligence threat,&#8221; Yahoo News reported.<\/p>\n<p>This report prompted Sidner\u2019s curiosity and her Monday tweet. The CNN correspondent shared the piece and wrote, &#8220;There are serious questions that should be asked about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/hunter-biden-secured-dinner-client-chinese-embassy-luncheon-hosted-vp-biden-emails-show\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hunter Biden<\/a>.

Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, received accounts from multiple FBI whistleblowers that Thibault &#8220;did not follow&#8221; the &#8220;strict substantial factual predication guidelines to open an investigation&#8221; into the Hunter Biden laptop.
