President Joe Biden’s son is charged with nine tax charges by the United States federal court system

Hunter Biden was indicted late Thursday on nine counts of tax fraud, the second time this year that US President Joe Biden’s son has been indicted by a special prosecutor investigating his personal and business dealings.

Hunter Biden “He engaged in a four-year scheme to avoid paying at least $1.4 million in federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019,” prosecutor David Weiss said in a 56-page indictment filed with the court was filed against the District of California.

Biden was charged with nine counts of failing to report and pay taxes and evasion and for filing false tax returns, the indictment said.

What Hunter Biden’s life is like: scandalous romances, prostitutes, drugs, infidelity, tax evasion and guns

The new allegations are projected as another embarrassment for Joe Biden, at a key moment in the race for his 2024 re-election and with Republicans accusing him of profiting from his son’s businesses abroad.

The youngest son of the American president was earlier accused of lying about his drug use on a federal application to purchase a gun, and pleaded not guilty.

Joe Biden has insisted he supports his son despite his problematic behavior.

The new accusation states that Hunter Biden earned more than $7 million between 2016 and 2020, money he spent on ‘a lifestyle of extravagant spending’ and for what “He decided not to pay taxes.”

He added that during that period “He spent this money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and real estate rentals, exotic cars, clothes, (…) everything except his taxes.”

Republicans have opened an impeachment inquiry in Congress to investigate an alleged criminal conspiracy by the Biden family, but have presented no evidence that would implicate the president in a crime.

Hunter is a Yale-educated lawyer and lobbyist turned artist, but his life is marred by alcoholism and his addiction to crack. (JO)
