Democrats ignored Hunter Biden’s foreign lobbying, but now want probe of Trump son-in-law

A desperate October Surprise? The key facts presented in the letter that Democrats believe warrant an investigation could apply equally to Hunter Biden, but in Biden's case Raskin and Wyden denied the mountain of evidence uncovered from years of government, media, and congressional investigations.

Just eleven days before the election, senior congressional Democrats called on the Justice Department to investigate Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law, for possible violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), citing standards they waived aside in the Biden impeachment investigation.

In a court filing in Hunter Biden’s tax case by a Special Counsel in Biden’s own Justice Department, prosecutors clearly spelled out allegations that Hunter Biden was working on behalf of Romanian oligarch Gabriel Popoviciu to influence U.S. policy.

In addition to these activities, email records and witness testimony show that Joe Biden met with or spoke on the phone with nearly every foreign business partner of his son Hunter.

A House-led impeachment probe uncovered millions in undisclosed foreign payments to both Hunter Biden and presidential brother James Biden while Joe Biden was vice president.

The impeachment inquiry identified at least $27 million in funds that Hunter Biden and other family members received from foreign sources.

But the congressional record, witness testimony and Just the News investigations show Hunter Biden engaged in strikingly similar activities.

At the same time, there may be even more extensive evidence that Hunter Biden engaged in “political activities” on behalf of several of his foreign clients or partners.
