HUNTER BIDEN NEWS EMBARRASSES MEDIA DEFENDERS. Late Wednesday afternoon, Hunter Biden announced that he is under investigation by the U.S. Attorney in Delaware. "They are investigating my tax affairs," Biden wrote, adding that he is confident a "professional and objective" investigation will clear him. For his part, Biden's father, President-elect Joe Biden, released a statement through his transition office decrying the "vicious personal attacks" on his son in recent years.
Several hours later, Politico reported that the investigation "has been more extensive than a statement from Hunter Biden indicates," to include "potential money laundering and Hunter Biden's foreign ties." The New York Times reported that the money laundering part "failed to gain traction after FBI agents were unable to gather enough evidence for a prosecution."
