The younger Biden has been under investigation by the FBI and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) since 2018, and sources say that charges may soon follow from Delaware&#8217;s U.S. Attorney David Weiss.<\/p>\n<h3>Republican Lawmakers Conducting Their Own Investigations<\/h3>\n<p>Republican lawmakers have also been conducting their own investigations into Hunter Biden&#8217;s foreign business dealings and the finances of the Biden family. A subpoena seeking an FBI record alleging a criminal bribery scheme involving Joe Biden and a foreign national was revealed by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<h3>IRS Whistleblower Disclosures<\/h3>\n<p>In recent weeks, an IRS supervisor has reached out to top lawmakers, seeking to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/irs-whistleblower-alleges-hunter-biden-probe-misconduct\/\" title=\"IRS Whistleblower Alleges Hunter Biden Probe Misconduct\">make protected whistleblower disclosures<\/a> to Congress about a high-profile investigation, which has been identified as the Hunter Biden probe. The senior official referenced by the IRS whistleblower in his letter to Congress has been identified as Attorney General Merrick Garland.<\/p>\n<h3>The Laptop from Hell<\/h3>\n<p>Hunter Biden is also facing a paternity case in Arkansas, and a judge has ordered him to answer questions about his finances and possibly the &#8220;laptop from hell.&#8221; The laptop, which Hunter Biden allegedly abandoned at a repair shop in Delaware, became a subject of interest in the final weeks of the 2020 campaign when The New York Post began reporting on details of the younger Biden&#8217;s shady business dealings and personal life that it contained.<\/p>\n<h3>Increasing Scrutiny on Russian Disinformation Claims<\/h3>\n<p>Increasing scrutiny is being placed on an October 2020 letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials suggesting the Hunter Biden laptop story could be part of a Russian disinformation operation. Congressional Republicans released portions of a transcribed interview in which former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell said &#8220;yes&#8221; when asked if a call around mid-October 2020 from Antony Blinken, an adviser to President Biden&#8217;s campaign who is now secretary of state, triggered the letter.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the ongoing investigations and allegations, Hunter Biden&#8217;s attorney, Chris Clark, has said he expects his client to be cleared of any wrongdoing. However, the public is getting a deeper look into his personal life and financial affairs, and the pressure is mounting.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Will Hunter Biden be charged with tax- and gun-related crimes?<\/li>\n<li>What will the IRS whistleblower disclosures reveal?<\/li>\n<li>What will happen with the paternity case and the &#8220;laptop from hell&#8221;?<\/li>\n<li>Will the Russian disinformation claims be proven true or false?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: the Hunter Biden saga is far from over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hunter Biden is feeling the squeeze as federal prosecutors are reportedly getting close to making a decision on whether to charge him while the public gets a deeper look into his personal life and financial affairs.
