DOJ contends Hunter Biden was hired by Romanian oligarch to 'influence US policy:' docs

Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors allege Hunter Biden was paid by a Romanian oligarch to "influence U.S. policy and public opinion," while his father, Joe Biden, was vice president, according to new documents. 

The documents were filed by Special Counsel David Weiss in the Central District of California on Wednesday. The filings pertain to Hunter Biden's tax trial in California. 

The allegations are the closest prosecutors have come to tying President Biden to his son's overseas business dealings.
