"Possible Charges Against Hunter Biden Spark Controversy and Speculation"

The White House is preparing for potential political fallout as federal prosecutors near a decision on whether to charge Hunter Biden with tax crimes and lying about his drug use when he bought a handgun. Republicans are likely to seize on a high-profile criminal case against Hunter, 53, in an effort to inflict political damage on the US president, who last week announced his bid for re-election in 2024. Hunter’s taxes and foreign business dealings have been under investigation by a federal grand jury in Delaware since at least 2018.
