JOE UNDER FIRE AS SON HUNTER DODGES BULLET!

Critics charge prez is covering for his crooked son

-

CRAFTY President Joe Biden is covering up son Hunter’s shady foreign business dealings and sketchy financial games by squashing the federal investigat­ion into the recovering crack addict’s alleged crimes, critics charge. Almost four months after a Delaware grand jury probing Hunter’s activities expired without indicting him, insiders claim there’s still overwhelmi­ng evidence suggesting the 52-year-old repeatedly broke the law!

“It’s inconceiva­ble that he hasn’t been charged,” fumes conservati­ve political commentato­r Alex Stein. “He essentiall­y spent the duration of his father’s term as vice president running a pay-to-play political scheme where people could buy access to Joe for pennies on the dollar!”

Stein believes there’s only one reason Joe’s scandalsca­rred kid has escaped justice: “The White House has exercised undue influence.

The pressure might not even come from the Oval Office, but someone in the Democratic National Committee. They know if Hunter is charged, Joe becomes a political lame duck.” As The National ENQUIRER reported, Hunter is under investigat­ion for his foreign business deals during his dad’s time as President Barack Obama’s veep — including allegedly dodging taxes on overseas windfalls and money laundering!

Sources say those dubious arrangemen­ts include:

• Partnering with the Bank of China on the $1.5 billion investment firm

Bohai Harvest RST in 2013 — ten days after accompanyi­ng Joe on an official trip to China! Hunter’s reps insist he never received money from the venture.

• Attempting to set up a shell company to syphon money from a Chinese investment in the U.S. with ownership split between Hunter, uncle Jim Biden and business partners. An email from a power player claimed 10 percent would be held by Hunter for “the big guy,” which is believed to be code for the current commander in chief.

• Accepting a 3.16-carat diamond worth $80,000 from Ye Jianming, CEO of Chinese energy giant CEFC, in return for introducti­ons to powerful figures in Joe’s orbit.

• Taking monthly payments as high as $50,000 as an advisor of Ukraine-based energy company Burisma while Joe was America’s point man for the European nation. Accepting a car paid for by a business associated with a Kazakh oligarch. Hunter has reportedly paid off

his tax liabilitie­s, and Joe, 79, insists he never got involved in his family’s deals — but that hasn’t silenced critics!

The FBI suspended its investigat­ion into Hunter’s actions ahead of the 2020 election — but authoritie­s are facing renewed accusation­s they’ve slow-walked their review to aid Joe’s political fortunes!

Now, 33 Senate

Republican­s have demanded David

Weiss, U.S. Attorney for Delaware, be afforded special counsel protection­s — to ensure his probe of Hunter’s affairs is “free from political influence!”

In a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, the senators wrote “mounting” evidence suggests Hunter “committed numerous federal crimes.” Meanwhile, Democrats on the House Oversight and Reform Committee spiked a

Republican resolution to obtain documents collected by the feds investigat­ing Hunter’s money trail. Sources suspect his father pulled strings and killed that probe, too.

But a spokesman for the president insists claims Joe orchestrat­ed a coverup are “absurd and obviously false.”

But political strategist Vlad Davidiuk tells

The ENQUIRER,

“The Department of Justice is far more motivated to persecute Joe Biden’s enemies rather than bringing any light to the embarrassi­ng and shameful activities of the president’s wayward son.

“It’s clear under Joe Biden there are two systems of justice. One is for his inner circle and his political allies and members of the regime — the other judicial system is for the rest of us.”
