A diamond given to Hunter Biden by a since-vanished Chinese energy tycoon is part of the ongoing tax fraud probe and a potentially broader probe into President-elect Joe Biden’s son, according to a report Thursday.
Investigators have examined the gift of the 2.8-carat gem Hunter got from CEFE China Energy founder Ye Jianming in 2017, CNN reported, citing a source briefed on the matter.
It’s unclear whether the diamond — which has been estimated to be worth as much as $80,000 — remains a focus of the tax probe that Hunter and his father’s transition team unexpectedly revealed on Wednesday, according to CNN.
Emails from Hunter’s laptop that were exclusively revealed by The Post in October show that the jewel became a sticking point during his divorce from first wife Kathleen Buhle.
