A subpoena issued to Hunter Biden
seeks information about his work with Ukrainian energy company Burisma, his dealings in China as well as documents from more than two dozen entities, according to a report on Sunday.
President-elect Joe Biden's son revealed last week that the Justice Department is investigating his taxes while he held a lucrative seat on Burisma's board, but the new information indicates the probe into Hunter will examine a wide swath of his international pursuits, the Associated Press reported, citing a person familiar with the case.
It's unclear, the report said, whether Hunter's work on Burisma's board while his father served as vice president in the Obama administration is the main focus of the probe or whether the Justice Department is just collecting information about his sources of income.
The investigation into Hunter Biden was
started by the Justice Department in 2018, but he said he only found about it last Tuesday.
Along with his taxes, the feds are also looking into
potential money laundering offenses.
The US attorney's office in Pittsburgh has been gathering information from Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal lawyer, and others as the Justice Department examines Hunter's links to Ukraine.
Those documents include information Giuliani said he discovered in Ukraine about the Bidens, the AP report said.
Comment: NBC finally
decided to run a story on this, highlighting the email that has come to light suggesting Hunter didn't report income from Burisma on his taxes. For an exercise in cognitive dissonance and mental gymnastics, read some of the reactions on Twitter:
Yeah, must be fake. Just like Biden must have won the election fair and square.
The only reason for these types of responses is that the people giving them know on some level how bad this news is. They just can't bring themselves to admit it. The are slaves to the lie.
And to see just how bad it can get, read this:
That's kind of like saying, "Tens of thousands of emails deleted by Hillary Clinton recovered after baseless claims from Trump that she deleted them." But in crazy-town, this kind of thinking somehow makes sense.

One of the most egregious examples is the £10 BILLION that the government spent on the dodgy Track and Trace system.
