Justice Department investigators were “trying to limit' questioning related to President Biden as part of the investigation into Hunter Biden, despite objections from FBI and IRS officials.
The email includes a note that"Hunter has some office expectations he will elaborate." A proposed equity split references"20" for"H" and"10 held by H for the big guy?" with no further details.
Shapley said IRS and FBI agents conducting the Walker interview"tried to skirt AUSA Wolf’s direction" to avoid questions on"dad" and"the big guy." "And dad was kind of how we referred to him," Shapley said."We referred to Hunter Biden’s father, you know, as dad."Shapley said Joe Biden was referred to in that way"so that we could speak more openly without yelling, ‘President Biden.’"
"The IRS prepared an affidavit in support of a search warrant for the unit, but AUSA Wolf once again objected," Shapley said. He also said a message in which Hunter Biden refers to his father in a message to Chinese energy company CEFC executive Henry Zhao made it clear a search of the guesthouse at the Bidens' Delaware home was needed. But he said Wolf said that the"optics were a driving factor in the decision on whether to execute a search warrant."
