DOJ Turns on Joe Biden, Claims Hunter Biden Was Bribed by Romanian Oligarch to Influence US Policy When Biden Was Vice President
The Justice Department in a Wednesday court filing admitted Hunter Biden was bribed by a criminal Romanian oligarch to influence US policy through Joe Biden.
Special Counsel Dave Weiss said Hunter Biden and a business associate accepted more than $3 million from Gabriel Popoviciu, a wealthy Romanian businessman who sought to influence US policy when Joe Biden was Vice President in 2015.
DOJ prosecutors will introduce the evidence at Hunter Biden’s tax trial in September.
According to ABC News, at Hunter Biden’s upcoming tax trial, “the government will introduce the evidence … that [Hunter Biden] 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 [Popoviciu] in Romania.”
Prosecutors allege Hunter Biden structured the deal in a way that concealed their foreign lobbying.
