Hunter Biden seeks federal probe of Ex-Prez Trump allies over laptop

A lawyer for President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, asked the Justice Department in a letter to investigate close allies of former President Donald Trump and others who accessed and disseminated personal data from a laptop that a computer repair shop owner says was dropped off at his Delaware store in 2019. In a separate letter on Wednesday, Hunter Biden's attorneys also asked Fox News host Tucker Carlson to retract and apologise for what they say are false and defamatory claims made repeatedly about him on-air, including implying without evidence that he had unauthorized access to classified documents found at his father's home. The request for a criminal inquiry, which comes as Hunter Biden faces his own tax evasion investigation by the Justice Department, does not mean federal prosecutors will open a probe or take any other action. But it nonetheless represents a concerted shift in strategy and a rare public response by the younger Biden and his legal team to years of attacks by ...

The Gauhati High Court has stressed that "bulldozing of a house is not provided under any criminal law", even if an agency is investigating a "very serious matter".
