Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe 'surprised' by Hunter Biden probe leaks
Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said he is"surprised" by reporting on the federal investigation into Hunter Biden about FBI agents believing they have sufficient evidence to charge President Joe Biden's adult son with crimes.
Evidence to support charges for tax crimes and a false statement pertaining to a gun purchase gathered by the FBI and Internal Revenue Service has already been sent to the U.S. attorney in Delaware, CBS News reported Friday. Now it is up to the Trump-appointed federal prosecutor, David Weiss, to pursue charges. Whatever Weiss chooses, Ratcliffe, a Trump-era spy chief, said by now he would have expected a leak about a different assortment of charges.
Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Chris Clark, said he wanted the Justice Department to conduct a leak investigation in response to the reporting on federal agents believing they have enough evidence to charge his client."As is proper and legally required, we believe the prosecutors in this case are diligently and thoroughly weighing not just evidence provided by agents, but also all the other witnesses in this case, including witnesses for the defense.
Ratcliffe also guessed that the Justice Department is evaluating Hunter Biden's defense, which he said"everybody thinks" is going to hinge on him blaming his actions on being"an alcoholic and drug addict for that period of time," and lacking criminal intent.
