The federal investigation into Hunter Biden's "tax affairs" is "active and ongoing", two sources familiar with the status of the probe told Fox News.
The sources told Fox News that those involved in the investigation, which is being run out of the U.S. attorney's office in Delaware, are "treating it seriously".
And as President Biden and members of his administration vowed, sources told Fox News that the U.S. attorney's office in Delaware "has not heard from the White House" or the president's nominee for attorney general, Judge Merrick Garland.
Last week, during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Garland confirmed that he has not discussed the investigation with the president, adding that President Biden "has made abundantly clear" in his public statements "before and after my nomination" that decisions about prosecutions would be left to the Justice Department.
"That was the reason that I was willing to take on this job", Garland said. "So the answer is no".
In December, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the president would not discuss any investigation related to Hunter Biden with anyone he was considering for attorney general.
Garland, during the hearing, also said he had heard the investigation involving Hunter Biden was "proceeding discreetly".
