The Delaware Federal Attorney's Office, which is investigating the case, is led by David Weiss, who was appointed by Trump.
In a separate statement, President-elect Biden’s transition team stated: “Biden is very proud of his son. He has overcome difficult challenges, including the vicious personal attacks in recent months, and has become even more serious. Strong." Hunter Biden is Biden's only living son.
His other son Bo Biden died in 2015 after battling brain cancer.
When this news is disclosed, the Electoral College will meet next week to vote for the next President and Vice President of the United States.
Trump previously promoted a report in the New York Post that identified an official of the Ukrainian state-owned natural gas company where Hunt had arranged him as a director in 2015 to meet with his father Biden in Washington.
The Biden campaign insisted that the schedule records at the time showed that then Vice President Biden did not meet with the official.
