Federal prosecutors are considering charging Hunter Biden with three tax crimes and one gun-related offense, according to a report by NBC News. The charges stem from a years-long investigation into Hunter Biden that started in 2018.
The possible tax charges against Hunter include failing to file taxes on income twice, (misdemeanors) and a single felony count of tax evasion. The gun-related charge is for allegedly lying on a background check form when he purchased a gun.
Biden has not been charged with any crimes, and he has denied any wrongdoing. His lawyer, Chris Clark, said in a statement: “It is a felony for an IRS agent to improperly disclose information about an ongoing tax investigation. The IRS has incredible power, and abusing that power by targeting, embarrassing, or disclosing information about a private citizen’s tax matters undermines Americans’ faith in the federal government”
Clark continued:
“Unfortunately, that is what has happened and is happening here in an attempt to harm my client. It appears this IRS agent has committed a crime, and had denied my client protections that are his right.”
The investigation into Biden has been closely watched by Republicans, who have accused him of using his father’s name to enrich himself. Democrats will likely dismiss the investigation as a partisan attack.
It is unclear whether Biden will be charged with any crimes. The investigation is still ongoing, and it is possible that prosecutors will decide not to charge him. However, the fact that prosecutors are considering charging him with serious crimes is a significant development.
If Biden is charged with any crimes, it could have a major impact on his father’s presidency. The investigation has already been a distraction for President Biden, and it could become even more of a distraction if his son is charged with crimes.
The investigation is also likely to further divide the country along partisan lines. Republicans are likely to use the investigation to attack President Biden, while Democrats are likely to defend him.
The investigation into Hunter Biden is a complex and politically charged issue. It is unclear how the investigation will play out, but it is sure to be a major story in the months and years to come.
