[-Artisan ツ]

Hunter Biden has been under federal investigation since 2018, according to a source familiar with the matter. 

A separate source told Fox News that the federal grand jury looking into Hunter’s business dealings wrapped up its latest term late last month, but said no charges have been filed.

The investigation is being conducted by Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a prosecutor appointed by former President Trump.

The source told Fox News Wednesday that Weiss and Justice Department officials were looking into whether to charge Hunter Biden with various tax violations and, more seriously, possible foreign lobbying violations. The source said Hunter Biden could face possible false statements charges.

But the source said no final decision has been made on whether to charge Hunter, and stressed that the investigation is ongoing.

Fox News first reported in December 2020 that Biden was a subject/target of the grand jury investigation, according to a well-placed government source. According to the source, a "target" means that there is a "high probability that person committed a crime," while a "subject" is someone you "don’t know for sure" has committed a crime."
