A Justice Department official confirmed Thursday that the FBI opened a criminal investigation into Hunter Biden and his business associates focused on money-laundering, and that it remains “open and active,” Sinclair investigative reporter James Rosen reported on Twitter.

The FBI has had possession of Hunter Biden’s laptop since December of 2019.
A recently leaked audio recording allegedly from Hunter Biden’s laptop features the younger Biden discussing in a phone call his business involvement with a “f—king spy chief of China, and how both he and his father Joe Biden have been named as witnesses in a Southern District of New York criminal case.
“I am receiving calls from the Southern District of New York from the U.S. Attorney himself. My best friend in business Devon has named me as a witness without telling me in a criminal case and my father without telling me,” Biden lamented in the phone call.
The conversation presumably took place before he dropped his laptop off at the computer repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware in April of 2019.
Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, told Rosen Thursday that he was questioned by six FBI agents for five hours on October 23 with counsel present.
Bobulinski came forward last week to blow the whistle on a multi-million dollar Biden family business deal with CEFC, a Chinese Communist government-linked energy firm.
Documents continue to be leaked from Biden’s laptop, adding further evidence that the Biden family engaged in a corrupt and potentially criminal overseas influence peddling operation.
The former Navy Lieutenant told Rosen that he was listed as a “material witness” in an ongoing investigation focused on Hunter Biden and his associates, and that his cell phones were carefully examined by FBI agents.
Bobulinski said the feds told him that he should expect to be brought back in for additional questioning.
He explained that he was a material witness in the investigation into the Biden family’s operations with CEFC and “other operations around the world involving other countries.”
