The U.S. attorney’s office for the Western District of Pennsylvania launched a criminal investigation into a healthcare company with ties to Joe Biden’s brother James Biden. The investigation follows shortly after Hunter Biden revealed he is currently under investigation for potential tax crimes.

James Biden allegedly promised access to the former Vice President and previously held an office at the company’s headquarters.

In a report from The Daily Wire:

Americore – which operates a string of hospitals across Pennsylvania, Arkansas, and Missouri – gave a six-figure loan to James Biden, exacerbating the healthcare company’s descent into bankruptcy in December 2019. Biden got close to executives at the company by promising access to his elder brother, the former vice president of the United States, in 2017 and 2018. He also promised a large investment from a Middle East donor to the then-flailing company that never materialized, according to former business contacts of Biden. Biden has denied the allegations.

Biden also reportedly held an office for a short time at Americore’s headquarters in Florida, and a business card identifying him as a “principal” at the company was entered into Tennessee court records. Biden has also denied that he was ever a principal for the healthcare company.

Similarly, Hunter Biden is now being investigated by the U.S. Attorney’s office for alleged tax crimes and his connections to foreign business executives, especially in Russia and China. Hunter Biden confirmed yesterday that he is under investigation for his “tax affairs.”

“I learned yesterday for the first time that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware advised my legal counsel, also yesterday, that they are investigating my tax affairs,” Biden said. “I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors.”
