#HunterBiden Two sources familiar with the investigation tell @CBSNews the HB “tax” probe began in 2018. The sources explained that during the election season the investigation went quiet, otherwise known as going “covert” + noted that it would have violated policy at DOJ/FBI by
taking any said “overt” steps that would impact the election. @ClareHymes22 MY NOTE: As a matter of course, US attorney and/or FBI contact individual seeking evidence or interview + advise whether individual is “witness,” “subject” or “target” of probe. Further developments
should reveal whether those steps were taken in HB case.
