Virtual 2020 Democratic National Convention – Day 4
NEW YORK (77WABC) — The New York Post has learned that Hunter Biden and two associates received a grand jury subpoena regarding their business dealings in China — about 17 months before the 2020 presidential election.
According to federal documents, the order sent by the Department of Justice to JP Morgan Chase bank. It asked for the records of any international financial transactions for the past five years involving Hunter, his uncle James Biden and former business partners Devon Archer and Eric Schwerin.
The subpoena was issued by Delaware’s US Attorney David Weiss on May 15, 2019. At the time, Hunter’s father, Joe Biden, was a presidential candidate.
The subpoena was issued just five weeks after Hunter allegedly left his laptop in a Delaware repair shop. A total of 15 businesses owned by Hunter and his associates were listed on the legal document.
Last year, Hunter revealed that he’s under investigation for possible tax fraud, telling “CBS This Morning” in April that he had no plans to strike a plea deal.
Hunter disclosed the probe in a statement released by his father’s presidential transition team.
“I learned yesterday for the first time that the US Attorney’s Office in Delaware advised my legal counsel, also yesterday, that they are investigating my tax affairs,” Hunter said in the statement. “I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors.”
