Attorneys for President Biden’s son Hunter Biden met with officials with the Department of Justice Wednesday amid an ongoing investigation into the first son, Fox News has learned.
Several of Hunter Biden's attorneys were present at the DOJ headquarters with tax division career attorneys, including longtime-Biden attorney Chris Clark.

Lawyers from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware were present, but it was not clear if U.S. Attorney Davis Weiss was there.
Hunter Biden has been under federal investigation since 2018. Weiss, a prosecutor appointed by former President Donald Trump, is leading the investigation.
Fox News first reported in December 2020 that Hunter Biden was the target of a grand jury investigation prompted, in part, by Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) regarding suspicious foreign transactions.
He has not been charged with any crimes. Wednesday’s meeting with DOJ officials came after attorneys for Hunter Biden requested an update in the federal probe.
Last week, a career IRS employee sought whistleblower protections in alleging that the investigation into the younger Biden was being mishandled.
