A federal court authorized a foreign surveillance warrant against one of Hunter Biden's Chinese business partners, court documents show.
The existence of a FISA warrant against the Biden associate, Patrick Ho, indicates that federal investigators believed Ho was working covertly as an agent of a foreign government.
Federal investigators obtained a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant against one of Hunter Biden's Chinese business associates, suggesting that the executive was suspected of acting as a covert agent of a foreign government.
Prosecutors revealed the existence of at least one FISA warrant against Chi Ping Patrick Ho, known as Patrick Ho, in a Feb. 8, 2018 court filing obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
According to a report from The New Yorker last year, CEFC's chairman, Ye Jianming, raised concerns with Biden in summer 2017 about a possible investigation into Ho. Biden agreed to represent Ho and to find out the extent of the investigation, according to The New Yorker report.
The court filings in Ho's case suggest that federal investigators had counterintelligence concerns about Ho. Investigators obtained a FISA warrant allowing them to conduct electronic and physical surveillance of Ho's property, court documents show.
"We don't want to have to register as foreign agents under the FCPA which is much more expansive than people who should know choose not to know," Hunter Biden wrote to his then-business partner Tony Bobulinski on May 1, 2017, according to a message obtained by the DCNF. The FISA process came under intense scrutiny during the investigation of the Trump campaign's ties to Russia because the FBI was found to have misled the FISC regarding evidence against Carter Page.
