On the one hand, you have Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., saying that a fair trial must include hearing from the president’s acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, former national security adviser John Bolton and possibly others.
On the other, you have Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who says that if Trump wants Hunter Biden called, or the whistleblower, the Senate should allow that.
For his part, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has tried to quash all witnesses. Because McConnell controls the Senate, he technically will get to set the rules of the trial, presuming he holds his caucus together. But, for all practical purposes, it isn’t McConnell who gets to make the decision about witnesses. It’s Donald Trump. If Trump says he wants Mulvaney (or Biden) to appear, McConnell will have a very hard time saying no.
That is a pressure point that Democrats need to quickly exploit — by pressuring Trump to call his witnesses. This means Democrats should welcome everyone, from Hunter Biden, to former Democratic National Committee staffer Alexandra Chalupa, who Trump and the White House claim was central to a conspiracy around Ukraine and the 2016 elections. (These conspiracy theories have been repeatedly debunked, and seem to have originated in Russia).
A new report out tonight suggests Joe Biden’s infamous son, Hunter Biden, is linked to multiple criminal probes including one that has to do with money laundering:
NY POST – Hunter Biden is the subject of multiple criminal investigations related to “fraud, money laundering and a counterfeiting scheme,” it’s claimed in court documents filed Monday in his Arkansas paternity case.The claims were put forward by a Florida-based private-eye firm, D&A Investigations, in Biden’s ongoing case against alleged baby mama Lunden Alexis Roberts, a former Washington, DC, stripper who went by “Dallas.”Biden, 49, “is the subject of more than one criminal investigation involving fraud, money laundering and a counterfeiting scheme,” the filing alleges.One of those purported investigations relates to Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian energy company with which Biden held a lucrative board post while his father, Joe, was vice president — drawing allegations of impropriety from Republicans including President Trump.
Money laundering…
Biden and a group of business associates “established bank and financial accounts with Morgan Stanley … for Burisma Holdings Limited … for the money laundering scheme,” D&A claims, further alleging that the accounts showed an average account value of nearly $6.8 million between March 2014 and December 2015.Biden and the others — including Devon Archer, John Galanis and Bevan Cooney — allegedly “utilized a counterfeiting scheme to conceal the Morgan Stanley et al Average Account Value,” D&A claims in the papers filed at the Circuit Court of Independence County, Arkansas.
Defrauding Native Americans…
The filing additionally alleges that Biden had a hand in a plot including Galanis, Cooney and Archer to rip off Sioux Native Americans to the tune of $60 million through the shady sale of tribal bonds.Galanis, Archer and Cooney were found guilty for their roles in June 2018, following a lengthy trial in Manhattan federal court. In November, Archer’s conviction was overturned by a Manhattan federal judge.Biden “did drum up business for the scheme,” D&A claims in its filing, without elaborating.The three-page document does not name the agencies behind the purported criminal probes of Biden in either case.
I would say that Hunter Biden, and perhaps his father might have some explaining to do. But the media doesn’t really care about any wrongdoing except what Democrats can manufacture against Trump.
Here’s the short three page court document for you to read…

ReplyDeleteHunter Biden is 'linked to multiple criminal probes involving fraud, money laundering and a counterfeiting scheme'
Hunter Biden is reportedly linked to multiple criminal probes, according to court documents filed in Arkansas.
The papers alleged that the 49-year-old 'is the subject of more than one criminal investigation involving fraud, money laundering and a counterfeiting scheme'.
According to the New York Post, the allegations were filed by private-eye firm, D&A Investigations on Monday in relation to Hunter's paternity case involving his baby mama Lunden Roberts.
One of the claims involves Burisma, the Ukrainian oil company that's at the center of President Donald Trump's impeachment trial. Trump came under fire for a phone call with Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, urging him to investigate Hunter's work with Burisma, while withholding some $400million in military aid.
The new allegations accuse Hunter and business associates of establishing 'bank and financial accounts with Morgan Stanley … for Burisma Holdings Limited … for the money laundering scheme'.
D&A claimed that the accounts showed a value of nearly $6.8million between March 2014 and December 2015, according to the Post.
In addition, the documents allege that Hunter and three associates attempted to con Sioux Native Americans out of $60million through the sale of tribal bonds.
It's unclear what agencies are allegedly investigating Hunter. But shortly after the allegations were filed, a judge struck them down because they were filed by an 'intervener,' according to the Post.
News of the alleged investigations comes just a day after the financial information for Roberts was released exclusively to DailyMail.com.
On Sunday, Roberts' financial information from the last five years was obtained by DailyMail.com. In the documents, the Lancaster & Lancaster Law Firm, which represents Roberts, reveals that the 28-year-old received money from a company owned by Hunter from May 2018 to November 2018.
'She never received a tax document for these payments,' her attorneys wrote, adding that the undisclosed amount of payments are reflected on her bank records.
According to the documents, Roberts also worked for Hunter and submitted pay stubs as proof of employment along with a health insurance card that he reportedly provided her.
Roberts continued to make the case for her paternity suit by outlining other sources of income that she's received, including $1,700 that her father paid in fees for her to graduate college and her annual Christmas bonus that she receives from her current employer.
'Occasionally, and without regular reoccurrence, the plaintiff has been provided insignificant amounts of money - what some may classify as "petty cash" - by her parents for her or her daughter's needs,' the document reads.
Roberts said that family and friends have given her and her child toys and other things, but 'these events are infrequent, and while cherished and very appreciated, are not gifts of monetary value'.
Hunter, who has been laying low in Los Angeles during his bitter paternity dispute with Roberts, was seen for the first time on Friday since DailyMail.com revealed that his new South African wife Melissa Cohen, 32, is pregnant and in her second trimester.
As Hunter lays low on the West Coast, Trump demanded that he be called as a witness in his impeachment trial since he is at the center of the trial based on his role with Burisma.
And apparently, his father Joe Biden has had enough of the focus on his son, lashing out during Thursday's presidential candidate debate, claiming Republicans are 'attacking' Hunter.
