EXCLUSIVE — Hunter Biden has opened his father, President Joe Biden, up to a possible conflict of interest by demanding the Justice Department investigate people who he alleges disseminated the contents on his infamous abandoned laptop, according to government watchdog groups.
The younger Biden's legal team called on the DOJ on Wednesday to investigate numerous parties, including ex-Trump advisers Rudy Giuliani and Stephen Bannon, for possibly breaking federal and Delaware laws by "accessing, copying, manipulating, and/or disseminating" Hunter's "personal computer data." This demand could pose a clear conflict of interest, given it was issued to his father's administration, watchdogs told the Washington Examiner.
"He's basically asking his dad to use the U.S. government to attack the people who have been critical of him," said Tom Jones, director of the American Accountability Foundation, a conservative group. Jones added that if one of former President Donald Trump's children asked his administration's DOJ to investigate certain people, Democrats would claim that it could not be "objective."
