Hunter Biden fires back after PI claims secret bank records 'verify' $156M counterfeiting scheme

Hunter Biden's attorneys fired back Monday after a private investigation firm again attempted to stage a highly unusual intervention in his ongoing child-custody dispute in Arkansas, this time claiming its investigators have lawfully obtained access to Biden's bank account records and confirmed his involvement in a massive, $156 million "counterfeiting scheme."In a motion to strike, Biden's legal team unconditionally denied the unverified claims, and called the effort by the Florida-based D&A Investigations another obviously bogus "scheme by a non-party simply to make scandalous allegations in the pending suit to gain media attention without any material or pertinent material."D&A claimed in its most recent filing Dec. 27 with the court in Independence County, Ark., that it has provided attorneys for Lunden Alexis Roberts, who was seeking custody over the child she said Hunter Biden fathered, "access to [Hunter Biden's] bank account records subject of known felonies including fraud and counterfeiting." D&A was seeking to be added as a party to the case, claiming it could support Roberts' accusations and prove that Biden was involved in illegal activity while dodging discovery quests.D&A alleged that the "bank account records bear exhibit identifier(s) known by [Hunter Biden] as the subject of criminal investigation(s) both adjudicated and ongoing, of which he is a party to." The firm also claimed the bank records "provide the source and destination bank account numbers of Burisma Holdings Limited, PrivatBank, Bank of China, [Hunter Biden's] business partners, Rosement Seneca Bohai," and others.Speaking to Fox News late Monday, D&A claimed the FBI and Justice Department have been investigating PrivatBank, the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma, Biden and others since April 2019 -- and that the investigation remained open. D&A asserted in a Dec. 23 "Notice of Fraud and Counterfeiting and Production of Evidence" filed with the Arkansas court that the 49-year-old Biden was the subject of multiple criminal probes and "established bank and financial accounts with Morgan Stanley et al" for Burisma for a "money laundering scheme."TENSIONS FLARE ON CAPITOL HILL, AS GAETZ BRINGS UP HUNTER BIDEN'S ALLEGED CRACK PIPE EPISODE WITH RENTAL CAR, AND DEM BRINGS UP GAETZ'S DUI ARRESTThe court quickly struck that filing, saying it had violated state procedural rules which required that intervening parties raise a claim that shared a "question of law or fact in common" with the existing case.Then, the firm told Fox News to expect another filing soon -- and asserted its investigators have found that the intelligence community whistleblower at the center of the Democrats' impeachment of President Trump accompanied Joe Biden when he traveled to Ukraine in early 2016 and, by his own admission, pressured the country's government to fire its top prosecutor by threatening to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid.The whistleblower's attorney, Mark Zaid, did not respond to Fox News' request for comment on D&A's claims, which Fox News has not independently verified. However, publicly available records showed that Joe Biden did not officially travel to Ukraine in 2016.Meanwhile, in her filing in the case, the 28-year-old Roberts claimed Hunter Biden has "had no involvement in the child's life since the child's birth, never interacted with the child, never parented the child," and "could not identify the child out of a photo lineup."READ LUNDEN ROBERTS' MOTION FOR CUSTODY, SAYING BIDEN HAS BEEN AN ABSENT FATHERDNA tests allegedly confirmed "with scientific certainty" that Hunter Biden was the biological father of Roberts' baby, according to court documents filed in November.Joe Biden tangled with a Fox News reporter when asked about that development."I'm wondering if you have a comment on this report, and court filing, out of Arkansas, that your son Hunter just made you a grandfather again," Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked."No, that’s a private matter and I have no comment," Biden fired back before attacking the reporter.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Only you would ask that," Biden said.
