Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., is calling for Attorney General William Barr to appoint a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden’s reported ties to foreign governments and the contents of his laptop currently in the FBI’s possession, reports Fox News.
“This investigation is critical to defending the integrity of our republic and ensuring a potential Biden Administration will not be the subject of undue foreign interference,” Buck wrote. “Americans have the right to know whether Mr. Biden’s reported ties to foreign governments will make him the subject of blackmail attempts or other nefarious efforts to undermine U.S. national security or otherwise improperly influence American foreign policy.”
“Similar to when the DOJ appointed Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III, it is critical that this investigation continue free from political interference, no matter who is in the White House,” Buck added. “We must guarantee the integrity of our government and the security of our republic.”
A New York Post story published in October alleged that Joe Biden held a meeting with an executive from Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company that employed his son, Hunter Biden, while he was vice president. The story also claimed that there were incriminating photos of Hunter Biden on the hard drive.
