President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, was hit with numerous felony charges on Thursday night stemming from a federal investigation into his taxes.
CNN reported that Hunter was hit with nine counts on charges that include failure to file and pay taxes; evasion of assessment; and false or fraudulent tax return.
Special Counsel David Weiss recently impaneled a federal grand jury in Los Angeles that was weighing evidence related to potential tax crimes.
“The Defendant engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019,” prosecutors said in court documents, adding that he “willfully failed” to pay the owed taxes “despite having access to funds to pay some or all of these taxes.”
