An official at the Department of Justice (DOJ) has confirmed the existence of an active criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, son of Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden, and his associates.

According to a source within the DOJ, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) opened the investigation in 2019.

The probe is focused on allegations of money laundering and remains open to this day.

Sinclair investigative reporter James Rosen, who also interviewed Tony Bobulinksi, the former business associate of Hunter Biden, provided the bombshell revelation.

Rosen’s report “suggests that former vice president Joe Biden knew more than he has acknowledged about his son’s overseas dealings.”

Criminal Investigation Into Hunter Biden And Associates Is Still Active

Rosen interviewed Bobulinski, who has already provided a wealth of bombshell allegations against the former Vice President and his son.

Bobulinski claimed that the elder Biden is, in fact, “the big guy” mentioned in an email discussing proposed equity splits in a deal with a Chinese energy firm.

He also claims Biden discussed business dealings with his son – something the former veep has repeatedly denied – and suggested the Democrat nominee for President is compromised by the Chinese Communist Party.

“I can only imagine to the extent that the Chinese communist party has information on the Biden family and their business dealings,” Bobulinski told Rosen.

And there’s more, he asserted.

There are, according to Bobulinski, “other business dealings that occurred in Romania, Khazakstan, Georgia, Monaco and the Middle East, and then obviously topping off in Russia.”

The Biden/China Scandal Isn’t Going Away

As news of the investigation is covered exclusively in right-leaning media outlets, with mainstream giants ignoring it, it’s important to note that some of Hunter Biden’s business partners are already in jail.

Earlier this month the Wall Street Journal reported that Devon Archer, who served with Hunter on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, had a conviction reinstated on fraud and conspiracy charges.

Another Hunter Biden associate, Jason Galanis, worked with Hunter and Archer to set up bank accounts to help a Russian billionaire launder money into the U.S.

Galanis is in jail.

When confronted on Biden’s alleged pay-to-play scheme with China – an unsubstantiated claim of yet, though whose evidence is consistently mounting – the campaign’s national press secretary, Jamal Brown, twice refused to issue a denial, instead claiming they would not focus on a “smear campaign.”

“Look, we’re not going to waste any seconds on this smear campaign,” Brown said.

“It’s another distraction. We’re going to keep our eyes on the prize.”

The ‘prize’ being capturing the White House on Tuesday.

With days left before America chooses the next President of the United States, it would seem important for the average voter to know whether or not they’re putting a man knee-deep in corruption back in power.
