A conservative advocacy group has filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit to gain access to Secret Service records tied to Hunter Biden.
Judicial Watch said it had filed a FOIA request with the Secret Service in March for “any and all records concerning the use of security and/or other services to Hunter Biden and any companions on any international travel” from 2010 to 2013.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton contended that “the Secret Service is violating FOIA law by slow-rolling and hiding Hunter Biden records.”Congressional Republicans also believe they have run into problems getting their hands on Biden's Secret Service records. The Secret Service has told Republican investigators it cannot find communications related to Hunter’s travels for 2010, 2011, or 2013 — when his father was vice president.
According to texts from the younger Biden, the Secret Service also inserted itself into a saga related to his sister-in-law Hallie Biden throwing his gun in the trash near a Delaware high school in October 2018. The agency has denied involvement. The Secret Service attempted to retrieve the gun paperwork from a Wilmington, Delaware, shop in October 2018 after the firearm went missing, Politico reported.
Hunter Biden gave evasive answers during an interview last year as part of a media tour promoting his memoir Beautiful Things.
