The Justice Department began investigating Hunter Biden’s taxes back in 2018, but reportedly paused that investigation while Hunter’s father, Joe Biden, was running for president, citing a DOJ policy against “overt” action that might impact the election.

Of course, such a policy didn’t seem to stop the FBI from pursuing a baseless investigation against President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, nor did it stop the bureau from investigating Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.
