Hunter Biden is under criminal investigation, an official with the Department of Justice has confirmed to a reporter of the Sinclair Broadcast Group.

Posting on Twitter, James Rosen, a Sinclair reporter, stated that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had opened a criminal investigation into “Hunter Biden and his associates” based on business dealings recently exposed by the so-called “laptop from hell” by the New York Post.

Rosen stated that the investigation “focused on allegations of money-laundering,” adding that the case “remains open and active today” and promised to divulge more information on the story.

EXCLUSIVE: A @TheJusticeDept official confirms that in 2019, the @FBI opened up a criminal investigation into "Hunter Biden and his associates," focused on allegations of money-laundering, and that it remains open and active today. More very soon on your @WeAreSinclair stations.

Earlier this week, Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski told the Sinclair Broadcast Group that he was questioned by half a dozen FBI agents with his lawyer present for five hours on October 23. The authorities listed him as a material witness in the ongoing investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden’s son.

Bobulinski, now a whistleblower against the Biden family, said that he turned over his cell phones to FBI investigators and will be brought back for additional questioning.

“They do list me as a material witness within the entire FBI on their computer systems and it was a very cooperative, deep dive into all the facts across that time period,” he said.

A document released by the National Pulse earlier Thursday showed that Hunter Biden had scored a $1,000,000 contract with a man known as the “Spy Chief of China,” lending evidence to Bobulinski’s claims about his former business partner.
