DOJ investigating consulting firm tied to Hunter Biden: report
By Celine Castronuovo - 06/03/21 08:25 AM EDT

The Justice Department is reportedly looking into potential illegal lobbying allegations against a consulting firm tied to Ukrainian energy company Burisma, where President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, previously served on the board.

Politico reported Thursday that four people familiar with the matter said officials are looking into Blue Star Strategies, which took on Burisma as a client when Hunter Biden still served on the board.

The probe, in part, reportedly includes whether the firm did not comply with the Foreign Agents Registration Act by not disclosing lobbying efforts for foreign officials or political parties.

There is no information that ties Hunter Biden himself to the investigation, and Politico noted that Blue Star co-founder Karen Tramontano said that the president’s son did not direct any of the firm’s work for Burisma.

Politico reported that the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office is involved in the probe into Blue Star, as are lawyers with the Justice Department’s National Security Division.

Hunter Biden is currently under investigation by the Delaware office for potential tax violations.

The Hill has reached out to Blue Star and a representative for Hunter Biden for comment.

Hunter Biden Facilitated Deal for Democratic Consultants Now Under Federal Investigation
Emails show Biden served as conduit between Burisma Holdings and Blue Star Strategies

Emails from Hunter Biden's laptop show he was instrumental in setting up a consulting deal between a Ukrainian energy company and two Democratic consultants under investigation for violating foreign lobbying laws.

Biden and colleagues at the private equity firm Rosemont Seneca helped Burisma Holdings hire Blue Star Strategies, a firm owned by former Clinton administration officials Sally Painter and Karen Tramontano. Biden's emails show he played a bigger role than anyone had known in arranging Blue Star's consulting work for Burisma. Neither Biden nor the Blue Star founders registered their work under the Lobbying Disclosure Act or the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

Biden's work as a middleman could also explain why federal prosecutors began scrutinizing Blue Star's work for Burisma. Republicans have scrutinized Biden over his work for the company, one of Ukraine's largest natural gas producers, as well as with various Chinese companies. Federal prosecutors are also investigating Biden over his tax affairs and foreign business dealings.

Politico reported that federal prosecutors in Delaware investigating Biden's taxes began probing whether Blue Star violated foreign agent laws by failing to disclose its work for Burisma. Both Biden and the Blue Star executives met with U.S. government officials to advocate on Burisma's behalf, according to congressional testimony. Biden also met with Painter in November 2015 to discuss her potential work for Burisma. ...
