In 2017, Trump nominated Weiss to serve as U.S. attorney on a permanent basis on the recommendation of Delaware’s two Democratic senators, who both praised the choice.
By late 2018, Weiss’s office was investigating Hunter Biden’s activities in response to a number of leads, including some related to his dealings with Chinese business associates.
While investigators pursued suspicions of possible money laundering and violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, the criminal investigation eventually came to focus on whether he had paid taxes on all of his income, according to a person familiar with it. Hunter Biden has maintained that he acted appropriately.
By last summer, the probe had reached a point at which investigators could have issued grand jury subpoenas and sought search warrants that might have revealed its existence at a time when many of then-President Donald Trump’s supporters were seeking to draw attention to Hunter Biden’s actions.
Weiss, however, decided to delay taking any actions that were likely to make the existence of the Hunter Biden probe public. Concerns about affecting the presidential election loomed large when Weiss entertained arguments about advancing the probe, according to the person involved in the discussions. No matter what he did, the decision was sure to come under scrutiny for signs of politicization.
“It was a close call,” said the person, who believes Weiss was right to hold off. “That case has way more credibility now,” the person said.
All the more reason to have addressed it when it mattered.
And yahoo has it now too
Wayne Barnes, a 29-year FBI veteran, issued a 24-page report analyzing the signature on the paperwork for a laptop and hard drive given to a computer shop in Delaware for repairs in April 2019. He compared the “RHB” signature, which feasibly stands for Robert Hunter Biden, with other documents known to have been signed by Biden, who is under federal investigation.
“The general pattern and flow of the signature matches the other known signatures from RHB,” assessed Barnes, who is now a private investigator in Florida, in the report commissioned by Just the News that goes into detail about the fashioning of the letters and the autograph’s “psychological implications.”
The 51-year-old son of President Joe Biden has never denied the authenticity of the computer materials that offer a look into his personal life and business dealings, and he has never directly addressed the computer repair invoice.
