On June 21, 2025, newly uncovered documents revealed coordination between Justice Department prosecutors and Hunter Biden’s legal team during the federal investigation into his finances. The Oversight Project, a legal watchdog with the Heritage Foundation, obtained internal communications showing prosecutors shared a “proposed statement” with Hunter’s lawyers, designed to shape media responses and shield details from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The investigation, initially led by Special Counsel David Weiss, examined Hunter Biden’s financial dealings, including over $1.4 million in unpaid taxes and his business activities in Ukraine and China from 2014 to 2018. Hunter was convicted of three felony gun charges in 2023 and received a pardon from President Joe Biden on December 1, 2024. The documents, reported on by multiple sources including Fox News and posts found on X, suggest the probe faced delays, supporting whistleblower claims of compromised handling. The Justice Department has not commented on the findings. Separately, Attorney General Pam Bondi launched a criminal investigation into Hunter’s foreign bank accounts, announced on June 10, 2025, via posts on X, aiming to probe the Biden family’s international transactions. No outcomes have been reported yet from Bondi’s probe. The revelations have prompted renewed attention to the case, with the Trump administration’s Justice Department also reviewing Biden-era pardons, including Hunter’s, amid concerns over document-signing processes using an AutoPen.
