Evidence In Hunter Biden Case Seems to Corroborate Whistleblower Testimony

Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, will be facing a federal tax trial in California, and the evidence against him suggests he was paid by a foreign government to influence policy in the United States.

The evidence corroborates claims that were made by whistleblowers who testified before Congress last year, Just The News reported.
The whistleblowers said that the Department of Justice had evidence that Hunter Biden committed a crime but did not charge him before the statute of limitations expired.

“According to motions filed earlier this week, federal prosecutors are planning to cite evidence at trial that Hunter Biden and his business associates were paid by a Romanian businessman to influence U.S. policy and public opinion,” Just The News reported.

Empower Oversight President Tristan Leavitt, who represents one of represents IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, was furious with the filing.

“The thing that is infuriating about all of this is that Special Counsel Weiss is demonstrating to a T exactly what SSA Shapley and SA Ziegler blew the whistle on: Weiss’s office had clear evidence of crimes by Hunter Biden that they almost swept under the rug when they allowed the statute of limitations to expire,” Leavitt said.

“Weiss is just using the Romanian payments as evidence of intent to evade taxes. But the evidence (not ‘allegations,’ as the filings point out) shows what Hunter Biden ‘did do for [Gabriel Popoviciu]’–and the fact of the matter is that it violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act,” he said.

“Waiting until after the 5-year statute of limitations ran, without seeking an extension, protected the Bidens. The same pattern was demonstrated with Chinese company CEFC. Yet as SSA Shapley testified to Congress in the transcript excerpt in my post below, ‘We were precluded from doing anything.’ David Weiss and everyone who helped subvert the rule of law to protect the Biden family need to be held accountable,” he said.

House Republicans have claimed that the same pattern emerged in many of Hunter Biden’s business dealings which they have said is part of an “influence peddling” scheme.
In July attorneys for Hunter Biden requested that evidence of “alleged improper political influence” should be excluded from the trial because it would prejudice the jury.

“The government does not intend to reference allegations at trial,” federal prosecutors said in response to the request last week. “Rather, the government will introduce the evidence described above, including that the defendant and Business Associate 1 received compensation from a foreign principal who was attempting to influence U.S. policy and public opinion and cause the United States to investigate the Romanian investigation of G.P in Romania.”

Just The News reported.

According to the filing, the Romanian businessman—Gabriel Popoviciu—was under criminal investigation in his country at the time. In order to combat the investigation, the prosecutors say Popoviciu sought to hire Hunter Biden and his associates in order to “cause an end to the investigation…in Romania.”

According to the court filing, Hunter Biden and his partner—listed as Business Associate 1 in the court filing—“were concerned that lobbying work might cause political ramifications for the defendant’s father,” that is, then-Vice President Biden.

To remedy this concern, prosecutors say, Business Associate 1 signed an agreement with Popoviciu to form a purported management services company for real estate in Romania to serve as a front for the payments which were actually designated for Business Associate 1 and Hunter Biden to attempt to influence U.S. government agencies to “investigate the Romanian investigation” of Popoviciu.

Popoviciu was sentenced in Romania to seven years in prison in 2017 after being convicted of real estate fraud, according to OCCRP
