A Colorado attorney, Kevin Evans, sued the Justice Department in March, claiming that it attempted to shove under the rug hundreds of "potentially responsive" reports that recorded gifts received by first son Hunter Biden and his uncle James Biden from Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian contacts. ​

According to the Daily Mail, Evans filed the lawsuit after the department failed to respond to his Freedom of Information Act request for data “pertaining to any relationship, communication, gift(s), and/or remuneration in any form​” for the individual mentioned above.

Evans claimed that federal government attorneys confessed in court to possessing at least 400 pages of "potentially responsive" records, but now say they can "neither confirm nor deny" the existence of this data.
