Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden, is facing a legal storm as he has been charged with nine counts of tax crimes, as revealed by a federal indictment in the Central District of California.
The charges include failure to file and pay taxes, evasion of assessment, and filing a false or fraudulent tax return.
The indictment accuses Hunter Biden of engaging in a four-year scheme to evade at least $1.4 million in federal income taxes from 2016 through 2019.
The development follows a series of allegations and investigations into Hunter Biden's financial affairs, raising concerns about the potential impact on the Biden administration.
The indictment sheds light on Hunter Biden's lavish spending habits, alleging that he diverted income meant for taxes towards personal expenses such as a Lamborghini rental, luxury hotels, and escort services.
The government contends that many of these expenditures were falsely classified as business expenses.
The charges also reference business relationships, including a $1 million payment from a Chinese businessman, which federal prosecutors argue could have covered Hunter Biden's tax liabilities.
Additionally, the indictment highlights Hunter Biden's own memoir, citing years of drug abuse and debauchery, presenting a complex picture of his financial and personal life.
