-Lurid Crime Tales-
Federal investigators explored charging Hunter Biden for sex trafficking crimes
[NY Post] (D)irtbag Central
Federal investigators raised the possibility of charging first son Hunter Biden for crimes related to sex trafficking, according to IRS whistleblower documents made public this week.

Justice Department Tax Division prosecutor Jack Morgan outlined nine instances in which President Biden’s 53-year-old son appeared to be communicating with prostitutes and coordinating their travel across state lines, in an October 2020 email to Assistant US Attorney Lesley Wolf released by the House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday.

"Lesley: Attached are some, but not all, of the relevant documents related to SM and solicitation," Morgan writes in the missive, referring to Hunter Biden as "SM."

"I summarize the contents below. The highlighted records are those that are most probative for Mann act purposes," he adds.

Morgan’s email highlights two cases where "likely" escorts traveled from Los Angeles and New York to meet with Hunter in Boston.

Government Corruption
Hunter Biden's daughter Naomi repped Peru, lived in White House: public records
[NY Post] International relations seem to run in the family.

Hunter Biden’s eldest daughter Naomi worked as a lawyer on behalf of the government of Peru around the same time she was living at the White House with her granddad, President Joe Biden, a review of public records shows.

Naomi Biden, 29, joined the Washington DC-based law firm Arnold & Porter in January 2021 — the same month Joe Biden was sworn in as the nation’s 46th president.

She had previously been a Summer associate at the firm in 2019.

In September 2021 she appeared in a filing disclosing that she was providing legal representation for the government of Peru in a case brought by Worth Capital Holdings 27 LLC, which claimed the country was interfering in their operation of an oil refinery in the southern Amazon.

The company sought $590 million in damages.

The case is still ongoing and Naomi Biden’s specific role is unclear.

Foreign litigation is a specialization of Arnold & Porter, whose offices are less than one mile from the White House.

Firm litigants have successfully defended dozens of sovereign states including Hungary, Bulgaria, and Venezuela.

It’s unclear how many other foreign nations Naomi Biden has repped while working there.

Her current title at the firm is "international arbitration associate," according to her LinkedIn.

Despite joining the firm more than three years ago, Arnold & Porter apparently has gone to great lengths to shield the Biden scion from public scrutiny.

Unlike other firm attorneys, she does not have a public lawyer page and her name appears on a few filings.

Her father, however, has faced years of legal scrutiny for using his family name to cash in on millions of dollars from China, Ukraine, and other nations.

His father, President Biden, is facing an impeachment inquiry from House Republicans over false claims that he had no involvement in his son’s overseas business dealings.

"Everywhere we look it seems there are major conflicts of interest in which the Biden family leveraged their name, access, and patriarch’s power to benefit personal business dealings. All of this must continue to be investigated and exposed — perhaps Biden’s granddaughter should be the next person to come before the Oversight Committee," Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island) told The Post.

Cliff Sims, a senior White House aide to former President Trump, wondered if "there a foreign interest on the planet — friend or foe — that the Biden family hasn’t represented."
Naomi Biden and her husband Peter Neal spent months living at the White House while she actively represented a foreign nation.
