"The stunning revelation of President Biden’s 2018 voicemail about
Hunter Biden’s business dealings in China raises questions about the
federal probe of the first son, legal experts said Tuesday — as
Republican lawmakers vowed congressional 
hearings into the matter.
Former Justice Department prosecutor Jim Trusty called the situation
“a huge integrity test” for the FBI and for Attorney General Merrick
Garland.
“Will they walk away from powerful evidence? Will they come up with a
soft plea — like a tax charge — that does not remotely capture the
actual wrongdoing?” he said.
“Or will they treat Hunter Biden like any other white-collar defendant in the federal system?”
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said the
recording “only magnifies the concerns over the failure of Attorney
General Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel with broad
investigative authority.”
In it, Joe Biden told his son, “I think you’re clear” after The New York Times published a story
in December 2018 about Hunter Biden’s ties to Chinese energy tycoon Ye
Jianming, who vanished earlier that year after being arrested amid a
probe into suspected financial crimes." NYP
