According to the BBC, the investigation is being conducted by federal prosecutors in Delaware.

A statement from the team said Hunter had “fought through difficult challenges, including the vicious personal attacks of recent months, only to emerge stronger”.

Hunter Biden said he got wind of the investigation on Tuesday.

The 50-year-old was a frequent target of Republican criticism during the 2020 election campaign, focusing on his business dealings in Ukraine and China when Joe Biden was vice-president in the Barack Obama administration.
