A Colorado law firm’s two-year attempt to have the Justice Department provide documents relating to Hunter Biden’s business dealings in China, Russia, and Ukraine comes before a judge again next week, after the plaintiff argued that there was “significant public interest” in the records being released.
Attorney Kevin Evans and Evans Law PLLC sued the DOJ last March, 16 months after first filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for documents dealing with the business activities of both President Biden’s son, Hunter, and the president’s brother, James Biden.
Evans wrote in documents before the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado that he initiated the action after 15 separate communications with the DOJ over more than a year provided “no real assurance from DOJ as to when it would provide a substantive response.”
In the FOIA request, served on November 19, 2020, Evans asked for material relating to Hunter and James Biden “pertaining to any relationship, communication, gift(s), and/or remuneration in any form with, to or from any individual or entity (government agency or otherwise) from the countries of China, Russia, and/or Ukraine.”
