Two Republican senators say the State Department impeded an investigation into Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings by "inappropriately" classifying emails about his work in Ukraine.
Sens. Chuck Grassley (Iowa) and Ron Johnson (Wis.) in a letter exclusively obtained by the Washington Free Beacon wrote that the department "improperly" classified an explosive document about Hunter Biden's work for Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company whose owner was investigated for bribery.
"Recent records have come to light confirming that the State Department withheld records from our offices and improperly restrained us from making information public by inappropriately classifying information during our investigation into conflicts of interest involving Hunter Biden," they wrote to Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
The email, sent by State Department official George Kent, makes reference to a bribe paid to Ukrainian officials to shut down an investigation into Burisma's owner, Mykola Zlochevsky. Grassley and Johnson allege that both President Joe Biden and his son used their influence in the United States to snag lucrative business deals.
Biden has been dogged by Hunter Biden's shady business dealings since the 2020 presidential campaign, although he has always denied that either he or his son engaged in any wrongdoing. The email sought by Grassley and Johnson, however, seems to imply that career State Department employees thought Hunter Biden's conduct was improper.

The whole family belongs in jail.
We do need to get to the bottom of this, and I applaud Senators Grassley and Johnson and truly hope the Senate does a full and impartial investigation. But unless the DOJ is on board it will go nowhere. The entire DOJ needs to be dismantled and rebuilt with people who actually believe in the law.
Make sure the investigation continues until the Republicans take over Congress so it doesn't get covered up. Then we will see where it goes arrests or not.
You know what they will say after their investigation. No evidence of wrong doing.
Lock them all up and give them a girlfriend named Bubba!!
Put the whole criminal family in to jail, Biden can lead the way .
