Hunter Biden's Lawyer Claims Indictment is Politically Motivated

Hunter Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, claims that his client was indicted because of his proximity to power as the son of President Joe Biden. Lowell argues that Republicans have been unable to find evidence against the president, so they are targeting Hunter to besmirch the Biden family. Hunter Biden is facing nine tax-related counts, including three felonies, for allegedly evading $1.4 million in taxes. Lowell believes the charges were increased due to pressure from Republicans. He argues that Hunter was late on his taxes and his misconduct was influenced by his addiction to crack cocaine. Some Democrats, including Senator Chris Murphy, believe Hunter's behavior warranted prosecution. House Republicans have opened an impeachment inquiry into President Biden's alleged improper benefit from his family's foreign business dealings.
