Report: CIA Prevented Hunter Biden's 'Sugar Bro' From Being Interviewed in Tax Probe


The CIA blocked federal investigators from the Justice Department and the IRS from interviewing Kevin Morris, who was referred to as Hunter Biden’s “sugar brother,” during a five-year investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax issues, the New York Post reported on Thursday.

A whistleblower provided this information to the House Oversight and House Judiciary Committee chairmen, adding that the CIA reportedly stopped the investigators from interviewing Morris in August 2021, even though he is a Hollywood lawyer and an associate of Hunter Biden.

Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) sent a letter detailing the matter to CIA Director William Burns.

The whistleblower informed Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) that two DOJ officials were summoned to CIA headquarters in Langley, Va. During the meeting, they were informed that Morris “could not be a witness” for their investigation into Hunter Biden.

“It is unknown why or on what basis the CIA allegedly intervened to prevent investigators from interviewing Mr. Morris,” Comer and Jordan wrote in the letter, a copy of which Jordan posted online.

“However, these allegations track with other evidence showing how the DOJ deviated from its standard investigative practices during the investigation of Hunter Biden,” the letter stated.

The GOP lawmakers added that the whistleblower’s account “seems to corroborate our concerns about DOJ’s deviations from standard process to provide Hunter Biden with preferential treatment,” which they note has been uncovered as evidence during the ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

They requested the CIA furnish all records it possesses concerning the DOJ and IRS investigation of Hunter Biden or related to Kevin Morris.

“CIA does not comment on specific investigations,” a spokesperson told The Post in response to an inquiry. “We can say that CIA cooperates with law enforcement partners and does not obstruct investigations. CIA also fully and routinely cooperates with our oversight committees and will continue to do so.”

Last year, two IRS whistleblowers alleged that the Justice Department protected the president’s son by preventing other witnesses from testifying and prohibiting tax investigators from asking questions that might implicate Biden.
