The Secret Service improperly redacted hundreds of pages of records related to Hunter Biden’s overseas travel — and apparently withheld information about trips to China, Russia and other countries, two leading Republican senators claim.
In a Tuesday letter to Secret Service Director James Murray, Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) alleged the agency “hid names and other information contained in email conversations regarding Hunter Biden without any proper legal justification.”
Biden — whose father, President Biden, was vice president at the time — decided to ditch his Secret Service bodyguards before flying to Kazakhstan to pursue a deal on behalf of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, the Washington Examiner reported last year.
Hunter Biden reportedly planned to meet with then-Kazakhstan Prime Minister Karim Massimov, who was arrested on treason charges Saturday following his ouster as head of the country’s counterintelligence and anti-terror agency.
Grassley and Johnson also said the Secret Service “did not produce any communications regarding Hunter Biden’s travel for the years 2010, 2011, and 2013,” even though its own “travel records show that Hunter Biden made trips to China and other destinations around the world, including, Russia, Italy, Spain and Mexico.”
The lawmakers demanded that the Secret Service provide complete, unredacted copies of the documents it turned over and explain why it didn’t produce records from 2010, 2011 and 2013.
The senators said they wanted a response “as soon as possible” and set a Jan. 26 deadline.
