Fox News contributor Sara Carter criticized the FBI over its handling of its investigations into Hunter Biden and President Donald Trump, as well as Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, in a Wednesday night interview on the Fox News commentary and opinion program “Lou Dobbs Tonight.”

This comes off the heels of President-elect Joe Biden‘s son confirming Wednesday that a grand jury has been investigating his taxes and alleged money laundering.

The FBI, Carter said during the latter half of the over-four-minute segment, “slowed down the investigation prior to the election because they did’t want to interfere in the election.”

The conservative political commentator then dove into comparing the FBI’s activities in 2015 and 2016 to how she says it is presently.

“That didn’t seem to be the FBI’s mantra during 2016 and 2015, when they were going crazy over investigating […] then-candidate Donald Trump and [a] false story about the Russia hoax,” Carter continued. “That didn’t seem to be a problem then. Now what we’re seeing, though, is a very serious charge that also includes money laundering, Lou, and I think that Hunter Biden […] has a lot more problems on his hand[s],” she said, then referencing Biden’s laptop that the FBI had acquired as part of an investigation in 2019.

“And remember, Tony Bobulinski—we can’t forget that,” she added, mentioning Hunter Biden’s former business partner that has alleged Biden engaged in corruption and illegal financial dealings during his time on the board of a corrupt Ukrainian energy company called Burisma while his father, then-Vice Joe President Biden, was the public faces of the Obama administration’s policy toward Ukraine.

Also during the interview, she and Dobbs’ other guest, former U.S. Army Special Forces member Jim Hanson, discussed Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) finding himself in hot water this week for reportedly having ties to a suspected Chinese spy, broken by Axios in a bombshell report on Tuesday.

With a little help from their Democrat friends, a Chinese electric vehicle (EV) battery company with ties to the Chinese Communist Party just announced the opening of its second plant in the United States.

Fox News reports Gotion Inc., whose parent company Gotion High-Tech is based in Hefei, China, unveiled plans to build a $2 billion lithium battery plant in Manteno, Illinois, alongside Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who cheered the project.

The announcement comes amid growing opposition to the company’s plans to build a billion-dollar factory in Mecosta County, Michigan.

In order to make the expansion happen, lobbyists for the Chinese Communist Party-tied electric vehicle company funneled cash to Democrats. “Individuals at a law firm registered as foreign agents to lobby on behalf of Gotion, a Chinese electric vehicle battery company developing a controversial project in Michigan, and wired campaign contributions to several top Democrats” reports Fox News.

“According to state and federal filings, Monique Field-Foster, an attorney at the Lansing office of the Warner Norcross + Judd law firm who is acting as a foreign agent on behalf of Gotion, donated to the campaigns of Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Whitmer’s sister Liz Gereghty and Michigan Democratic Senate hopeful Rep. Elissa Slotkin” the Fox News report continued.

“In partnership with the business community and the General Assembly, two years ago we set out to make Illinois a destination for electric vehicle and clean energy companies from across the globe,” Pritzker said in a statement.

“With the right incentives, nation-leading infrastructure, world-class workforce and booming clean energy production, we have transformed ourselves into an attractive location for global manufacturers. Today, we take another leap forward. It’s my pleasure to welcome Gotion to Illinois and to show the world yet again that Illinois is ready to be a player on the world stage.”

Pritzker delivered remarks late last week thanking Gotion for choosing Illinois to call “home” in a ceremony with leaders from Gotion High-Tech, including Li Zhen, the company’s chairman and president, who said he expected the factory to open in less than 12 months.

“All that we see here [in Illinois] are of enormous value to us: an enabling business environment, a supportive state government for the new energy industry and their highly efficient work, as well as the prospects of the State of Illinois in the coming years,” the Gotion president added. “We believe that Gotion’s battery technology will help to boost e-mobility in North America and the economic and trade exchanges between China and the U.S.”
