Hunter Biden indicted on multiple tax charges in federal and state cases

Hunter Biden, son of President Biden, has been indicted on nine counts of tax crimes, including failure to file and pay taxes, evasion of assessment, and filing a false or fraudulent tax return. The indictment alleges that Hunter Biden engaged in a four-year scheme to avoid paying at least $1.4 million in federal income taxes. The charges stem from his lavish spending on personal items, which he classified as business expenses, instead of paying taxes. The indictment also references his business relationships and a $1 million payment from a Chinese businessman. Hunter Biden's attorney claims that the charges would not have been brought if his last name were not Biden. The White House declined to respond, and the indictment comes as House Republicans pursue an impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
