Hunter Biden’s troubles continue to escalate.
The son of Joe Biden is currently the subject of a federal criminal investigation after banks flagged four large transactions as “potential criminal activity.” One of the suspicious deposits for $100,000 came from China. A grand jury is currently hearing the testimony of key figures who have witnessed Hunter’s alleged corruption and tax evasion.
In the middle of the investigation, a bizarre rant has been leaked in which Hunter rambles extensively about his personal problems and attacks Donald Trump and Kanye West.
Hunter admits to being on drugs in the audio, which could help explain his odd behavior and strange rambling.
Speaking to his ex-girlfriend Zoe Kestan, who is a “lingerie entrepreneur,” the younger Biden complained about his financial, legal and personal problems.
“Donald Trump is a patch on the a** of f******” Hunter said. “I just don’t understand it.”
“It’s not only that, he’s a bad person,” Hunter said of President Trump.
“Donald Trump is the legacy of what we could’ve ended up with,” Hunter says. “Which is that fame, wealth, notoriety, accomplishment in many senses…” Hunter was then distracted by a dialogue about Kanye West.
“I hate people that their purpose is to create press,” Biden said of Kanye West. “He endears himself, though, to the white f****** pseudo f****** racists in South Carolina,” he added.
“If I were to die tomorrow, my eulogy… It would not be very pretty,” Hunter said. “I don’t think that half of the people that I’ve done anything for would show up. I don’t think that 90% would.”
The lengthy 48-minute audio was uploaded to Bit Chute. It can be heard here.
Hunter ex-girlfriend Kestan has made a number of alarming statements to the media. She said that Hunter would instruct her to withdraw “thousands of dollars at a time” from ATMs and would give her lots of cash to spend on meals and clothing, according to Fox News. She also spilled the details on Hunter’s habit of massively overspending at luxury hotels in New York and California.
The other woman who testified against Hunter is Lunden Roberts, who is the mother of his child. She testified for hours before the jury in Delaware. Roberts was a stripper at a Washington, DC, club where Hunter frequented around the time he was dating his brother’s widow, sources told The NY Post.
She sued Hunter Biden for paternity and child support. A DNA test confirmed that Biden is the baby’s father.
Emails obtained by Fox News shows that Kestan and Hunter were looking at pricey houses in the Los Angeles area to lease together in 2018.
The houses included a few properties in the pricey Malibu area. These listings ranged from $7,000 to $13,500 per month. A source told the NY Post that the jury wanted to know whether Kestan knew where Hunter’s money was coming from, but she reportedly didn’t know.
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network at the U.S. Treasury Department received these four warnings of potential criminal activity.
In 2020, an investigation was launched into Hunter’s financial activity by the Senate Homeland Security Committee and Senate Finance Committee. By the end of the year, the U.S. attorney for the state of Delaware confirmed that Hunter Biden is under federal investigation for his tax affairs.
One of the suspicious transactions was a $100,000 payment from a subsidiary of CEFC China Energy. At the time, this company was owned by Chinese billionaire Ye Jianming. The payment went to Hunter’s law firm, Owasco, in 2017. To date, Hunter hasn’t been criminally charged.
