Details
A grand jury in California has indicted President Biden's son on nine counts of tax evasion, tax avoidance, and filing false tax returns; three of them are felonies and six are misdemeanors.
Hunter Biden is accused of failing to pay at least $1.4 million in federal taxes from 2016 to 2019. According to the 56-page indictment, Hunter Biden earned more than $7 million in gross income between 2016 and 2020 from foreign business transactions, including payments for serving on the board of directors of the Ukrainian gas producer Burisma and working for a Chinese energy conglomerate,
Hunter Biden also received another $1.2 million in 2020 and spent the money to fund an "extravagant lifestyle" including drugs, escorts and girlfriends, exotic cars and clothing, the indictment alleges.
According to prosecutors, the $1.2 million came from a personal friend who transferred the money to third parties and then to Hunter Biden, who allegedly spent the money on renting a "luxury home" in Venice, California, and on car insurance for a Porsche. The indictment alleges that he also earned more than $140,000 in payments for his memoir, "Beautiful Things."
However, prosecutors allege that instead of paying his tax bills, Hunter Biden failed to pay his taxes on time for several years. When he finally filed a tax return in 2018, the indictment alleges, it contained false business deductions that reduced his tax liability.
