Shapley said Lesley Wolf, an assistant U.S. Attorney in Delaware, said in September 2020 that there was more than enough probable cause to secure a search warrant on Joe Biden’s Delaware guest house, where Hunter was staying. But she raised concerns about"optics" and said the warrant wouldn’t get approved. Months later, a second search warrant was also thwarted, Shapley said.
Both whistleblowers said their team was eventually cut out of the Hunter Biden investigation at the Justice Department’s request.it was"preposterous" to say the investigation cut him any slack, adding,"Any verifiable words or actions of my client, in the midst of horrible addiction, are solely his own and have no connection to anyone in his family.
The U.S. Attorney’s office in Delaware declined to comment to PolitiFact. Spokespeople for the U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., and for the Central District in California referred PolitiFact back to Garland’s statements.Both whistleblowers mentioned Joe Biden periodically in their testimony, but some of the evidence is difficult to decipher because it lacks details.
• The IRS shared with prosecutors its plan to interview Hunter Biden's associate, Rob Walker, hoping to ask Walker about an email that said:"Ten held by H for the big guy." It’s not clear who the email was to. Shapley said they wanted to ask who the"big guy" was, but that Wolf said in a Dec. 3, 2020, meeting that she did not want to ask about the"big guy" and did not want to ask questions about"dad.
