Authorities Looked Into Charging Hunter Biden With Sex Trafficking Crimes, Says Report

Zinger Key Points
  • An IRS whistleblower revealed documents suggesting Hunter Biden's potential involvement in sex trafficking.
  • Prosecutor Jack Morgan detailed nine instances of Hunter's alleged liaisons with prostitutes.

Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, has found himself under the federal microscope again. Documents recently unveiled by an IRS whistleblower suggest that federal investigators looked into charging the president's son for crimes related to sex-trafficking.

What Happened: The revelations stem from an email penned by Jack Morgan, a prosecutor affiliated with the Justice Department's Tax Division.

In the correspondence, Morgan detailed nine scenarios where Hunter Biden seemed to be liaising with prostitutes and possibly orchestrating their travel across state lines.

This email, dated October 2020, was addressed to Assistant US Attorney Lesley Wolf and was disclosed by the House Ways and Means Committee this week, according to the New York Post.

In the email, Morgan reportedly underscored two instances where escorts, presumably from Los Angeles and New York, may have traveled to rendezvous with Hunter in Boston.

Morgan also purportedly highlighted another situation that involved a self-identified "hooker," suggesting she may have journeyed from New Jersey to New York to meet with him.

Furthermore, Morgan's communication with Wolf reportedly unveiled two episodes during which Hunter appeared to be in touch with individuals involved in sex trafficking.

The nature of Hunter's interactions with several other women remain ambiguous, but their dialogues were deemed suspicious enough to be shared with Wolf, according to the New York Post. 

The email came to light through Joseph Ziegler, an IRS whistleblower, the publication said. He has accused the government of obfuscating details during its five-year probe into Hunter Biden.

In his testimony, Ziegler mentioned that numerous women may have crossed state borders for paid liaisons with Hunter, potentially infringing the Mann Act's guidelines on interstate prostitution.

It's worth noting that the Mann Act has been invoked in high-profile cases, such as the prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. She was handed a 20-year prison term for her involvement in sex-trafficking underage individuals.

Earlier this month, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) contacted the Justice Department to ascertain Hunter's alleged liaisons with prostitutes.
