A top attorney representing Hunter Biden has claimed that bank suspicious activity reports (SARs) associated with President Joe Biden’s son were “illegally” leaked, and has called for the U.S. Treasury Department’s inspector general to investigate how a former Trump aide got hold of the bank records.
Republican lawmakers have been investigating business transactions between the Biden family and foreign entities, and have recently focused on 150 SARs that are allegedly connected to the Biden family businesses. Under the 1970 Bank Secrecy Act, financial institutions are required to file SARs for a variety of transactions that could indicate possible criminal activity. Republican lawmakers have raised allegations that the Biden family has engaged in foreign influence peddling.
