Then, on May 24, 2016, Zients, Hunter Biden and Bradley met with Eric Lander, the recently-ousted director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Richard Klausner, the former head of the National Cancer Institute and a major biotech investor.

Fox News Digital confirmed Sunday that current White House chief of staff Ron Klain is expected to step down and be replaced by Zients, who led the federal COVID-19 pandemic response between early 2021 and April 2022.

"Jeff spent the last 14 months working tirelessly to help combat COVID," the president said in a statement in March after Zients announced he would step down from the role.

Hunter Biden has faced scrutiny from federal investigators related to his past business dealings and potential tax evasion.

"The American people deserve transparency and accountability about the Biden family’s influence peddling," House Oversight and Reform Chairman James Comer said in a statement late last year.
