The Secret Service warning spoiled plans to interview Hunter and other witnesses as part of a proposed “Day of Action” set for Dec. 8, 2020, days after the first son received Secret Service protection following Joe Biden’s election to the presidency.
Neither Gordon nor Shapley was permitted to go near Hunter’s house — a command that the former FBI agent said he had never been given in his 20-year career in federal law enforcement — and were told to wait for a phone call on Dec. 8 from Secret Service granting them authorization to interview Hunter.
But the call never came, Gordon and Shapley both testified…
The phone call on Dec. 7, 2020, warned “a group of people very close to President Biden and Hunter Biden and gave this group an opportunity to obstruct the approach on the witnesses,” he pointed out.
“We received a telephone call later that morning from Hunter Biden’s attorneys, who said he would accept service for any document requests, but we couldn’t talk to his client,” he added. “The public news of our investigation hit the press the next day.”
In the event, Shapley recalled, investigators were only able to interview one witness, Biden family associate Rob Walker — who helped distribute hundreds of thousands of dollars from foreign sources to members of the first family.
The Biden campaign ducked out of a recent MSNBC appearance to avoid questions about the president’s embattled son Hunter, according to a new report.
In response to the breaking news that a special counsel had been appointed in the investigation into Hunter Biden, the campaign didn’t want any questions about it, according to the New York Times.
“The Biden campaign canceled a scheduled Friday afternoon appearance on MSNBC for its campaign manager, Julie Chávez Rodríguez, after the special counsel announcement to avoid facing a litany of questions about the president’s son, according to two people familiar with the scheduling,” the Times reported over the weekend…
MSNBC, the left-leaning cable arm of NBC News, is the current employer of President Biden’s first press secretary, Jen Psaki, who hosts the weekend show “Inside.” Her replacement, Karine Jean-Pierre, was an MSNBC political analyst before transitioning back to politics, and the network is often a friendly landing spot for pro-Biden talking points.
