CNN legal analyst Elie Honig called out the Department of Justice on
Monday for slow-walking the Hunter Biden investigation � for nearly five
years.

"This is preposterous!" Honig said of the controversial Hunter Biden case.

"This has been pending, according to our reporting� since 2018, five
years!" he said.

The first son has been under federal investigation since 2018 for two
misdemeanor tax filing charges, a felony tax evasion charge and a false
statement charge over a gun purchase.

"By the way," Honig continued, "this investigation is not the laptop. This
investigation is a tax issue. Did Hunter Biden declare his income and a
sort of obscure gun law? Did he possess a gun while he was addicted to
drugs, which you�re not allowed to do under federal law. Did he lie about
that?"

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., similarly argued Sunday that the Hunter Biden
investigation "has been dragging on for years," especially in contrast to
the indictment of former President Trump.

"They were able to wrap up this [Trump] investigation very rapidly. In
addition, they announce it pretty much the same day when the details of
the FBI confidential human sources [are] going to be revealed by members
of Congress," Johnson said.
