Hunter Biden is also under investigation for a possible false statement related to a gun purchase, a probe that that was initiated after his sister-in-law-turned-lover, Hallie Biden, threw away his handgun — leading to a search by Secret Service agents and a disclosure of the weapon’s sale to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. An October 2018 gun purchase form revealed Hunter – a crack cocaine addict at the time – answered “no” when asked: “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?” CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig called the Department of Justice’s delayed investigation of Hunter Biden “preposterous.” Honig said the slow paced probe is “beyond anything” he has ever seen.CNN Honig expressed his shock on Monday that investigators, led by Delaware US Attorney David Weiss, were taking so long to reach a charging decision in the case, given the seemingly narrow scope of the DOJ’s probe. “By the way, this investigation is not the laptop,” said Honig, a former Manhattan assistant US attorney. “This investigation is a tax issue — Did Hunter Biden declare his income? — and a sort of obscure gun law — Did he possess a gun while he was addicted to drugs, which you’re not allowed to do under federal law, did he lie about that? But five years? I mean, that’s a five-week investigation. And this spans the Trump administration and the Biden administration.” “Someone’s got to make a call on this case. I don’t know what is going on. It’s beyond anything I’ve seen before,” he added. Biden is being investigated over over possible violations of tax and money laundering laws as well as a possible false statement related to a gun purchase. FBI investigators have reportedly expressed “growing frustration” over the pace of the inquiry, according to an April report, and that same month an IRS whistleblower came forward to allege Hunter has received “preferential treatment” despite Attorney General Merrick Garland claims that he wouldn’t. In May, the Washington Post reported that Weiss was close to a final decision on whether to charge Hunter with tax and gun crimes following a meeting between the first son’s lawyers and Justice Department officials. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) expressed similar frustration about the pace of the investigation on Sunday, especially in light of the speed of the Trump indictment for his alleged mishandling of classified documents. Attorney General Merrick Garland previously claimed that Hunter Biden wouldn’t receive preferential treatment.AP Photo/Andrew Harnik, File “They were able to wrap up this [Trump] investigation very rapidly,” Johnson told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.” “In addition, they announce it pretty much the same day when the details of the FBI confidential human sources [about the Bidens are] going to be revealed by members of Congress,” and free from plagiarism add html headings
