Morris and his attorney were estimating during the interview, a source told Fox News, and promised to follow-up with exact figures loaned to the first son. The attorney followed up to note an additional $1.6 million Morris had given Hunter Biden.KEVIN MORRIS GAVE 'MASSIVE' FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO HUNTER BIDEN, RAISING CAMPAIGN FINANCE CONCERNS: COMER”As part of the impeachment inquiry, the Committees are investigating, among other things, whether President Biden 'abuse[d] his power as President to impede, obstruct, or otherwise hinder investigations or the prosecution of Hunter Biden.' As background, for years, the IRS and DOJ had been investigating Hunter Biden for tax crimes,” Jordan and Comer wrote. “The Committees have documented how the DOJ deviated from its standard processes to afford preferential treatment to Hunter Biden.”Hunter Biden, flanked by attorneys Kevin Morris, left, and Abbe Lowell, attends a House Oversight Committee meeting in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 10.Jordan and Comer were referring to whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler — investigators who served on the IRS team probing Hunter Biden. They testified that DOJ officials “deviated” from the normal process and provided preferential treatment to Hunter Biden.”Among other deviations, DOJ officials restricted what investigative steps the investigators could pursue, tipped off Hunter Biden's attorneys about investigative steps, and even prevented investigators from conducting witness interviews,” the House Republicans wrote. “The whistleblowers' testimony about the preferential treatment provided to Hunter Biden has been corroborated by testimony from other witnesses and documents the Committees have received.”Jordan and Comer said the new whistleblower claims “seem to corroborate our concerns about DOJ's deviations from standard process to provide Hunter Biden with preferential treatment.””It is unknown why or on what basis the CIA allegedly intervened to prevent investigators from interviewing Mr. Morris,” they wrote. “However, these allegations track with other evidence showing how the DOJ deviated from its standard investigative practices during the investigation of Hunter Biden.”Hunter Biden, flanked by his attorneys Abbe Lowell, right, and Kevin Morris, leaves the House Oversight and Accountability Committee markup titled “Resolution Recommending That the House of Representatives Find Robert Hunter Biden in Contempt of Congress,” in the Rayburn Building in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 10.Jordan and Comer are now demanding the CIA provide all documents and communications referring or relating to the DOJ and IRS’ investigation of Hunter Biden, and all records relating to Kevin Morris — “including but not limited to efforts to interview Mr. Morris as part of the investigation of Robert Hunter Biden.”HUNTER BIDEN LAWYER TESTIFIES THAT 1ST TRUMP IMPEACHMENT CREATED 'EMERGENCY' TO FILE UNPAID TAXESMorris, on Oct. 13, 2021, gave Hunter Biden a loan for approximately $1.4 million. According to the letter, Hunter Biden was to repay the loan, with $500,000 paid by Oct. 1, 2026 and the remaining $417,634 by Oct. 1, 2027, plus interest.A few days later, Morris loaned Hunter Biden $2.6 million, with directions to repay the loan by Oct. 1, 2029. That loan, according to Morris’ lawyer, “was used to pay, among other debts, Mr. Biden’s tax debt to the IRS.”On Oct. 17, 2022, Morris loaned Hunter Biden $640,355 to be repaid by Oct. 15, 2027. In December 2022, Morris loaned Hunter $685,813.99, to be repaid by Oct. 15, 2027.A year later, Dec. 29, 2023, Morris loaned Hunter approximately $1.2 million to be repaid by Oct. 15, 2028, with all interest paid by October 2029.Special Counsel David Weiss charged Hunter Biden with nine federal tax charges, which break down to three felonies and six misdemeanors for $1.4 million in owed taxes that have since been paid.Weiss charged Hunter in December, alleging a “four-year scheme” in which the president's son did not pay his federal income taxes from January 2017 to October 2020 while also filing false tax reports.Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to all charges.Weiss also indicted the first son on federal gun charges in Delaware last year. Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to those charges as well. His attorneys are attempting to have that case dismissed.
