Docs show Hunter Biden’s ‘cozy’ DOJ connection

Newly revealed documents purportedly show how Joe Biden’s Justice Department ran interference for the then-president’s son, Hunter Biden.

The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project shared a thread on social media that unveiled how the “cozy” relationship between Hunter Biden’s attorneys and the DOJ’s prosecution team “was more cooperative than adversarial.”

“Prosecutors coordinated with Hunter’s lawyers on media inquiries about slow-walking of investigation,” the post on X read. “DOJ circulated a ‘proposed statement’ drafted by Hunter’s lawyers – the statement was designed to be hidden from FOIA,” referring to the Freedom of Information Act.

The group then noted how “communications from David Weiss’s lethargic Hunter Biden investigation” were obtained in the inquiry and how this backed up claims by IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley of the government’s “slow-walking” the investigation.

“In response to these inquires, DOJ and Hunter’s lawyers, whose positions should have been adversarial, set up a coordination call,” the Oversight Project explained. “An internal DOJ summary of the call included a ‘Proposed Statement’ for media inquiries made to Hunter’s lawyers.”

“This statement was written by Hunter’s council. It included a special request from Hunter to give the communication ‘FOIA confidential treatment,'” the post noted.

“Overall, these docs show the relationship between Hunter and David Weises’ prosecution team was more cooperative than adversarial,” the Oversight Project concluded. “The teams collaborated to deflect media attention and searched for an off ramp from prosecution which would benefit Hunter and his family.”

Social media users demanded accountability.
