“The documents also help show why investigators wanted to look into possible criminal campaign finance violations. These suspicions stem from Hollywood lawyer @pkm2679 spending over $2 million to pay @HunterBiden‘s unpaid taxes. James Biden, @POTUS‘s brother, told the @FBI that… pic.twitter.com/lROdtK9KZ1
