Hunter Biden Indicted on 9 Tax Charges in Federal Court – Crime Online

A grand jury in California incited Hunter Biden Thursday on three felonies and six misdemeanors relating to $1.4 million in taxes the president’s son failed to pay between 2016 and 2019.

The taxes have since been paid, The Associated Press reported.

Special prosecutor David Weiss, who has been investigating Biden since the Trump administration, said in the 56-page indictment that the investigator’s target “spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills.”

Biden has admitted past struggles with drugs and that he didn’t pay taxes during that period. A plea deal set up earlier this summer, which would have brought no jail time, collapsed after Republicans in Congress claimed it was a “sweetheart deal.”

The charges in California could put Biden in prison for 17 years.

Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, accused the special prosecutor of “bowing to Republican pressure” in bringing the indictment.

“Based on the facts and the law, if Hunter’s last name was anything other than Biden, the charges in Delaware, and now California, would not have been brought,” Lowell said in a statement.

The charges brought in Delaware relate to a false statement on a gun application in which Biden answered “no” to a question about his drug uses, which had also been part of the failed plea deal.

Despite multiple accusations, the investigation has turned up no evidence linking President Joe Biden with his son’s illegal activities.
