JUST IN: DOJ Ignored Text Showing Hunter Biden Threatening Chinese Officials For Payments, Refused To Investigate

On Thursday, whistleblowers raised claims of direct interference by the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) in the criminal investigation of President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. The whistleblowers’ testimony, just released, outlines recurring unjustified delays, a lack of transparency, and threats from the Defense Council in an alleged campaign to “delay, divulge, and deny” the investigation.

A key point of concern is the DOJ’s alleged refusal to probe a WhatsApp message, recovered from Hunter Biden’s communication with Chinese businessman Henry Zhao. In this message, Hunter Biden explicitly threatens that Joe Biden, reportedly present in the room, would “destroy” Zhao if payments to the Bidens were not made immediately:

For example, we obtained a July 30th, 2017, WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to Henry Zhao, where Hunter Biden wrote:

“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”

Communications like these made it clear we needed to search the guest house at the Bidens’ Delaware residence where Hunter Biden stayed for a time.

Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) voiced his concerns today, stating that few Americans would qualify for such “soft glove treatment” from federal investigators. He also reported that the U.S. Attorney of Delaware, David Weiss, was denied multiple attempts to bring charges against Hunter Biden in 2022 and 2023. Smith quoted whistleblowers as saying that the DOJ was “intervening and overstepping” in the investigation, despite a clear case for tax liability on Hunter Biden’s payments.

IRS investigators reportedly found themselves “hamstrung internally”, facing “a lack of U.S. Attorney independence, recurring unjustified delays, unusual actions outside the normal course of any investigation, a lack of transparency across the investigation and prosecution teams, and bullying and threats from the Defense Council.” This constituted a campaign to “delay, divulge and deny.”

WATCH:

Smith revealed that IRS investigators were allegedly told by U.S. Attorney Leslie Wolf that a search warrant for evidence would never get approved if the evidence was to be found in the guest house of former Vice President Biden. Wolf reportedly stated, “there is no way” a search warrant would be sanctioned.

Smith also reported that crucial information about the investigation was leaked to Hunter Biden’s attorneys. In a specific instance, when there was probable cause to search a Northern Virginia storage unit where Hunter Biden had stored files, Biden’s attorneys were alerted in advance.

According to the whistleblowers, IRS investigators experienced significant internal hindrances in their investigation, despite what they described as a clear case for tax liability on the payments. The testimony further alleges a lack of U.S. Attorney independence and unusual actions outside the normal course of any investigation.
