Last night, Fox News dropped another update on the developing Hunter Biden saga:
NEW: Laptop connected to Hunter Biden linked to FBI money laundering probe, according to documents obtained by Fox News, sources — per @JakeBGibson and I https://t.co/9wULmpX6s2

NEW: The FBI’s subpoena of a laptop and hard drive purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden came in connection with a money laundering investigation in late 2019, according to documents obtained by Fox News and verified by multiple federal law enforcement officials who reviewed them

NEW: It is unclear, at this point, whethe investigation is ongoing or if it was directly related to Hunter Biden.
Multiple federal law enforcement officials & two govt officials,confirmed authenticity of docs, which were signed by FBI Special Agent Joshua Wilson.— Brooke Singman (@BrookeSingman) October 22, 2020
The document has a “Case ID” section, which is filled in with a hand-written #: 272D-BA-3065729.
According to officials, & FBI’s website, “272” is the FBI's classification for money laundering, while “272D” refers to “Money Laundering, Unknown SUA [Specified Unlawful Activity]— Brooke Singman (@BrookeSingman) October 22, 2020
Government official described “272D” money laundering– as “transnational or blanket.”

Interesting.
But for what it’s worth, Joe Biden’s rapid response director Andrew Bates categorically denied that the Bidens were ever up to any shady business:

Wait a sec … that doesn’t actually sound like a denial, does it?
This is not a denial of any aspect of the story whatsoever https://t.co/g3uJhVJ6sa

That's a lot of words while still not denying the laptop is Hunter's.

There are no denials here. None.

He. He. Didnt. Deny. It.

He didn't deny anything.

They're not denying any of it. https://t.co/CpPk3FJQwp
— I did not and will not vote for him. Calm down. (@jtLOL) October 22, 2020
Nope.
I believe this is what we call in “da biz” a “Non-Denial Denial”…

That is a non-denial denial. Take a look at the shiny object on the other side of the room.
— Fred Steinmann (@FredSteinmann53) October 22, 2020
That's kind of pathetic really.
— No, Seriously (@NealMowery) October 22, 2020
And exactly what we’d expect from Team Biden.
