Derek Hines, an assistant U.S. attorney at the Department of Justice working on the Hunter Biden case, reportedly had a close professional relationship with a former FBI director whose firm has extensive business ties to the Biden family.
Hines's LinkedIn page lists him working for former FBI Director Louis Freeh at his private company, Freeh Group International Solutions, as a special counsel between August 2013 and February 2015. Hines was one of the prosecutors to sign off on Biden's recent plea deal.
Two IRS whistleblowers have already testified that the Department of Justice has interfered with the criminal investigation into the president's son.
