Secrets are no fun unless you share them with everyone.  Especially this one.

Attorney General William Barr reportedly knew about the investigation into Hunter Biden’s business ventures months ago but kept information from leaking to the public.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Barr was briefed before the spring about the investigations but worked to stop them from being disclosed during the election campaign despite pressures from Republicans in Congress.

In a statement on Wednesday, issued through his father’s transition team, Hunter said that prosecutors with the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware were investigating his “tax affairs.”

A source familiar with the investigation told the Daily Caller News Foundation that it all began back in 2018 and that the U.S. attorneys’ contact with Biden’s lawyer signals that the investigation has moved from a “covert” to an “overt” stage.

And, as you could imagine, republicans are not happy.

“Congressional Republicans are furious that Barr never told us the news, even in confidence,” a Capitol Hill source told the Daily Caller.

Trump also reacted to the news, blasting the Justice Department, the left-wing media, and the FBI Thursday night.

“Why didn’t the Fake News Media, the FBI, and the DOJ report the Biden matter BEFORE the Election,” he tweeted.

Why didn’t the Fake News Media, the FBI and the DOJ report the Biden matter BEFORE the Election. Oh well, it’s OK, we won the Election anyway – 75,000,000 VOTES!!!

Trump has also publicly decried Barr’s statement earlier this month that the Justice Department had not seen enough evidence of voter fraud to overturn the election results, and criticized Barr over the lack of developments in the investigation into the origins of the Russia hoax.
