A private-eye firm alleged that Hunter Biden is the subject of criminal inquiries for “fraud, money laundering and a counterfeiting scheme” in court documents filed Monday in his Arkansas paternity case.
D&A Investigations, a Florida-based company, made the claims about Biden in Lunden Alexis Roberts‘s case against him. Roberts, 28, filed a paternity suit against Biden alleging he is father of her infant child in May.
Biden “is the subject of more than one criminal investigation involving fraud, money laundering and a counterfeiting scheme,” the filing alleges,” according to the New York Post. He filed a motion to strike down the claims, which succeeded, arguing “the notice is filed by a non-party simply to make scandalous allegations in the pending suit to gain some media attention.”
One of the investigations alleged relates to Biden’s work with Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company. His time on the board, while his father was vice president under President Barack Obama, became the subject of intense scrutiny from Republicans, including President Trump. The president’s call for Ukraine to launch an investigation into Biden’s work with the company spurred his impeachment in the House of Representatives.
Biden and a group of businessmen “established bank and financial accounts with Morgan Stanley … for Burisma Holdings Limited … for the money laundering scheme,” the investigative firm claims. It said their accounts showed an average value of nearly $6.8 million between March 2014 and December 2015.
Devon Archer, John Galanis, and Bevan Cooney, the associates who were supposedly working with Biden, allegedly “utilized a counterfeiting scheme to conceal the Morgan Stanley et al Average Account Value,” D&A claims.
