WASHINGTON (SBG) – A justice department official confirms that the FBI opened up a criminal investigation into Hunter Biden and his associates back in 2019, focusing on allegations of money-laundering and that the probe remains active, according to the Sinclair Broadcast Group.

Sinclair investigative reporter James Rosen says he spoke with a central witness in these allegations, which suggests that former vice president Joe Biden knew more than he has acknowledged about his son’s overseas dealings and had met with Hunter’s business partner, Tony Bobulinski, twice. Bobulinksi was thrust into the national spotlight on the evening of the final presidential debate when he claimed Democratic nominee Joe Biden knew about his son taking payments from Chinese and Ukrainian companies and strongly suggested he got a kickback potentially compromising a President Biden.
EXCLUSIVE: A @TheJusticeDept official confirms that in 2019, the @FBI opened up a criminal investigation into "Hunter Biden and his associates," focused on allegations of money-laundering, and that it remains open and active today. More very soon on your @WeAreSinclair stations.

According to the interview, the leverage the Chinese government has against Biden is in documents that have been well provided to the Senate, to Congress, to the Department of Justice via the FBI that CEFC was effectively loaning money directly to the Biden family. Bobulinksi said he was first introduced to the former vice president in May 2017 by Hunter and Jim Biden in Beverly Hills, California. He claimed they talked about the Biden family business plans with China, despite the Democratic nominee on several occasions denying he had any involvement, including the final presidential debate when Biden said, “I have not taken a penny from any foreign source ever in my life.” The US Navy veteran has said he was introduced to the former vice president in 2017 by his son, Hunter Biden. “Joe Biden has not denied that he met with Tony Bobulinski,” President Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said Thursday night. “He says that Joe Biden is flat-out lying when Biden repeatedly said he never spoke with his family members about their foreign business dealings,” Murtaugh said. Biden avoided reporters’ questions today while on the campaign trail. But yesterday referred to his son as “the smartest guy I know.” The Trump administration will certainly want to know why the FBI, which has been investigating the Hunter Biden case since 2019, sat on that information in February when the Democrats were impeaching the president for making a phone call to Ukraine on that very topic.
