Still Have Mask Mandates in Place\">facing legal challenges<\/a> on multiple fronts, but the path that led him here has been anything but\u2062 ordinary. This week, Attorney General Merrick Garland will\u200d face \u200cquestioning regarding the investigation into President Joe Biden&#8217;s son, shining a spotlight on how much Joe knew about his son&#8217;s business dealings. In this captivating\u200b series, Wayward Son, the Washington Examiner will delve into the intriguing journey that brought us \u200bto \u200bthis point. Part One will\u2062 explore how Hunter Biden&#8217;s failure to register as\u2064 a foreign agent has left him vulnerable to further prosecution.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>The Beginning of\u2063 Hunter Biden&#8217;s Legal Troubles<\/h3>\n<p>Hunter Biden&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/risky-business-how-hunter-bidens-foreign-dealings-could-cost-him-another-indictment\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden's foreign dealings pose a risk of further indictment.\">recent \u200dfelony gun indictment<\/a> and impending tax violations may only be the tip \u2062of the iceberg, as the Department of Justice\u200d considers bringing criminal charges against the first son for his failure \u2062to register as \u200ba foreign agent.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During a plea hearing in July, the DOJ made it clear that they could potentially \u2063charge President \u200bJoe Biden&#8217;s son\u2062 under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). This was prompted by Hunter Biden&#8217;s income from foreign companies, which was revealed in\u200c a plea deal related to his gun \u2064and tax crimes.<\/p>\n<p>Leo Wise, a federal prosecutor, confirmed \u2063that Hunter Biden could indeed face a FARA violation. However, a defense attorney disagreed, leading to the collapse of the plea deal.<\/p>\n<p>FARA, a law \u200cdating back to the 1930s,\u200c was initially created to combat the spread of Nazi and communist propaganda in the United States. It requires Americans working as &#8220;agents of a foreign principal&#8221; to disclose certain lobbying and public relations work done on behalf of foreign\u200d entities.<\/p>\n<p>If convicted of \u200bwillfully failing\u200b to register as a foreign agent under FARA, an individual could face up to five years in prison, a fine of up \u2062to $250,000,\u2064 or\u200c both.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter Biden&#8217;s involvement with \u2064a Ukrainian energy company and\u2062 his interactions with the Obama White House while serving on its \u2062board have raised suspicions. Evidence released by\u200c Congress suggests that similar patterns \u2062of business relationships \u2063may \u2062have existed in other countries, including\u2064 China, Russia, and Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Chuck \u2063Grassley has called attention to serious \u2063allegations of Joe and Hunter Biden accepting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/whistleblower-docs-joe-biden-was-deeply-involved-with-selling-u-s-natural-gas-to-chinese-firm\/\" title=\"Whistleblower Docs: Joe Biden Was Deeply Involved With Selling U.S. Natural Gas to Chinese Firm\">multimillion-dollar bribe<\/a>. He views the recent gun indictment as just the beginning and questions whether FARA\u2062 violations, money laundering, and bribery will also be addressed.<\/p>\n<p>Testimonies and\u200b emails indicate that\u2063 Hunter Biden used his connections within the U.S. government\u200c to\u200b benefit his foreign clients, without disclosing this work \u2062to the DOJ.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2062 resurgence \u2064of FARA\u200d occurred during special counsel Robert Mueller&#8217;s investigation, when several Trump associates \u200dwere charged with FARA violations. Notably,\u200d Paul Manafort and Rick Gates were convicted for similar tax and\u200d lobbying offenses. Manafort received a maximum prison sentence of 60 months for \u2064his FARA conviction.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Flynn, a former Trump national security adviser, also admitted to violating\u2062 FARA as part of a plea\u200b agreement. However,\u2064 his case was dismissed after \u200dbeing pardoned by Trump.<\/p>\n<p>IRS and\u200c FBI whistleblowers have made \u2063accusations that Hunter Biden funneled millions of\u2063 dollars through companies associated with him, similar \u2064to the allegations \u2062against Manafort and Gates.<\/p>\n<p>One reason Hunter Biden may have \u200davoided registering as a foreign agent is the potential negative impact \u200cit \u2062could \u200chave had on his father&#8217;s\u200c political image. The Oversight aide suggests that it\u200b would not have looked good for Joe Biden to be speaking out against corruption\u200c while his son was associated with corrupt \u200centities.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his own actions, Hunter\u200c Biden arranged\u200c for others to advocate for \u200bBurisma, a Ukrainian energy company, without registering under FARA. This included hiring a Democratic lobbying firm, Blue \u200dStar Strategies, to handle outreach to the \u200bObama administration \u200bofficials.<\/p>\n<p>Blue Star Strategies aggressively lobbied the State Department on behalf of Ukrainian interests, even \u2063counting the\u2062 Ukrainian prosecutor general as a client. However, they did not register \u2064under FARA at the time.\u2062 The DOJ has \u200drecently investigated their lobbying for Burisma, leading to a belated FARA disclosure.<\/p>\n<p>Concerns have been raised about\u2063 the handling \u200bof the FARA investigation, \u200cwith allegations that it \u200chas been held back. The \u200dIRS whistleblower revealed that approval \u2062for a search warrant of\u200d Blue \u2063Star Strategies&#8217;s emails was denied, hindering the investigation \u200binto \u2063Hunter Biden&#8217;s \u200dpotential FARA violations.<\/p>\n<p>Despite \u2063the five-year statute of limitations for FARA cases, which\u200c would typically exclude Hunter \u200bBiden&#8217;s pre-2018 business activities, prosecutors\u200d may \u2063still find a way to pursue charges. The\u2064 DOJ \u200creportedly considered forcing Hunter Biden to file retroactive disclosures, similar to what \u2062was done\u200c with Blue \u2063Star Strategies, but the failed attempt with Stephen Wynn raises doubts about this option.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter Biden&#8217;s connections with \u200dthe U.S. ambassador to Romania and his involvement in lobbying for a Romanian \u200dreal estate \u200cmogul have also come under scrutiny. Bank records show that he received $3 million from \u2063this arrangement.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney General Merrick Garland, who has faced criticism for\u2063 the DOJ&#8217;s \u200bhandling of FARA enforcement against Hunter Biden, will be questioned by \u2062the House Judiciary Committee. However, he is likely to adhere to the department&#8217;s\u200c policy of not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/its-time-to-disarm-all-fbi-agents-and-return-authority-to-local-law-enforcement\/\" title=\"Disarm FBI agents, empower local law enforcement.\">discussing ongoing investigations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What potential implications could the investigation\u200d into Hunter Biden \u200chave for\u200c the \u200cBiden family and \u2062the Biden administration?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Favorable for Hunter \u200bBiden to be officially associated with \u2063foreign entities while his father was serving as Vice President or running for President. This raises questions about whether Joe Biden was aware\u2064 of his son&#8217;s actions and whether he took\u200d any\u200d steps to prevent potential \u200cconflicts of interest.<\/p>\n<p>As the Attorney \u2064General faces\u2064 questioning regarding the investigation\u2064 into Hunter \u2064Biden,\u200d the spotlight will\u2062 be on the level of Joe \u2064Biden&#8217;s knowledge about his son&#8217;s business dealings. This investigation has\u200d the potential to have far-reaching implications for \u2063the Biden family and the Biden \u2063administration.<\/p>\n<p>In the next installment of Wayward Son, we will explore the\u2062 potential consequences of Hunter Biden&#8217;s\u2062 failure to register as \u2063a foreign agent. We will delve into the evidence surrounding \u200dhis \u200dwork with\u200b foreign companies and\u200c the allegations of bribery and money laundering. Additionally, we\u2063 will examine the similarities \u200bbetween Hunter \u2064Biden&#8217;s \u200blegal troubles and those faced \u200bby\u200d Trump associates during\u2063 the Mueller investigation.<\/p>\n<p>It is \u2063crucial to bring transparency and accountability \u2063to the\u200d forefront of this investigation. The American \u200dpeople deserve to know the truth about Hunter Biden&#8217;s actions and the extent \u2064of his \u2064father&#8217;s involvement.
